    Oh no! The stupid workers don’t know what’s good for them!

    This thread is a perfect example of how the left lost touch with the working class and normal people in general.

      Lead poisoning is the culprit. The right is full of mentally retarded zombies. The majority of PEOPLE are working class. Nearly 50%, as is the case in most US elections, voted for the democratic candidates. STFU troglodyte.

        You don’t have lead poisoning. But, you’re implying that voting is a means of change and that Democrats represent the working class. Perhaps it’s not lead, instead idiocy.

      The left did not lose touch with the working class. The left is what started and continue this populist movement.(Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election cycle; AOC; and the socialist/communist parties that go out and encourage organization to fight for worker rights)

      Trump (a billionaire who spent his career exploiting workers) acted like he was picking up the baton to fight for worker rights after he saw people’s reaction to Bernie Sanders losing the primary against Clinton. Unfortunately, workers like these in the steel industry WERE tricked into thinking that Donald was gonna support their professional cause, this is objective. Now many people are calling them stupid because to many other Americans, this was the obvious outcome due to Donald’s track record both as a businessman and as President. For some reason, these steel workers were blind to it all…
