General Strike. Shut the country down, they'll get violent. They will use the police and the national guard to attempt to break the strike. But hold firm, because then they'll beg.

Who is it you think is guilty of insider trading?

So a long time ago, you could argue the Republicans were the worker's party. Abolionist-focused, was comfortable with immigrants more than other parties at the time, and Lincoln even exchanged letters with Karl Marx, but indrectly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_of_the_International_Working_Men%27s_Association_to_Abraham_Lincoln

Republicans in the 1800s stood for minimum wage, pushed for suffrage of women, and other generally good ideas like "Maybe we should listen to the unionists who are willing to die for an 8 hour work week."

But over the centuries since, the lines blurred. In the 1930s a Democrat pushed for expansions of the social net due to the great depression. In the 1950s, a Republican advocated for billions to spent on the interstate highway system, that has never once made a dime back over the last decades.

Then the southern strategy happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy Republicans marketed themselves towards the white South as a way to say "Hey we back what you stand for, whatever it is" and that's when South started to vote for Republicans, and Nixon took advantage of this.

But the Republicans today don't even care about the white workers, they don't about any workers, they only care about the rich. Have been since at least the 1980s from Ronald Reagan. Democrats lately tend to protect the workers more, but it varies from state to federal, but generally wages are up with Democrats, and we've had more expansions of workers rights with them.

Non americans here. None of their parties will be a worker party. If they do I cut my left ball.

How far back are they talking "traditionally"? You can make an argument that they were a century ago. Not a particularly strong argument, but there's an argument. Go back even further, and Karl Marx himself was congratulating Abraham Lincoln. After all, slaves are the most exploited workers.

The last 50 years, though? Absolutely not, but their bleating about "coastal elites" hoodwinks a lot of people to think otherwise.

I would really like to know why your American colleagues think that.

It's like pro wrestling. Their gimmick is that they are working class that busts their assess working hard labor jobs to feed their families. The democratic gimmick is that of well meaning and educated individuals seeking a bright future.

But in reality is that they are both moronic abusive assholes and one is a nazi.

Their goal is never to win elections. Their only goal is to prevent leftist movements and organization from gaining positions of power. To defend these status quo.

The best way is to bring single payer health care.

Every other G7 nation has it

Now convince the democratic party leadership that serving their constituents is more important that kissing donor ass.

Convince them of that, and the winning elections thing will solve itself.

They kinda were. People hate "RINOs," ofc Trump is in reality just more of the same, but like the author said he represents a "wrecking ball," and only thing resembling a deviation from the mainstream Washington consensus.

Because Democrats are holding the bag
