Democrats face existential crisis after defeat by Trump!
The billionaire who was photographed frying potatoes at McDonald’s because he never had grease on his hands has won a good share of the votes of the American working class. Kamala Harris’s lopsided defeat against Donald Trump has forced Democrats to face a reality that is hard to swallow: They no longer connect common peopleAs Pulp would say. Or, as Senator Bernie Sanders, one of the party’s most leftist voices, has said: “We shouldn’t be too surprised when a Democratic Party that has abandoned the working class finds that the working class has abandoned it.

Trump returned to the White House propelled by the vote of low-income and Latino men. The percentage of votes that the Democrats received among the working and lower classes in this election is the worst in 20 years. He received 51% among voters in households with incomes under $30,000 (compared to 65% with Obama in 2008) and only 46% among voters in households with incomes between $30,000 and $50,000, while Republicans received Got 51%. On the other hand, turnout for incomes over $100,000 was 52%.
