The forgotten black working class
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 05/01/2018 - 5:27pmPoliticians and the media generally like to talk about the middle-class.

Let's Talk About Trump Voters Instead of Trump

Hillary as a long-term sleeper agent
Submitted by ngant17 on Sat, 05/14/2016 - 6:51pmOne can assume the Rodham problem originates entirely from its bourgeois character. That was apparent from the Goldwater beginnings and her natural-born affinity and allegiance to the US exploiter-groups. She soon realized the strategic advantage of tactically removing herself from reactionary Cold War politics of the 1960's and embedding herself as a 'progressive' upper-class parasite within the Democratic Party.
