The Democratic Socialists Have a Working Class Problem
Socialist Abdul El-Sayed just won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, but the exit polls tell the real story. He dominated in college towns and lost badly in the working class neighborhoods he claims to represent. The same pattern played out in Zohran Mamdani's election.
The socialists calling themselves the voice of the working class have never done a day of physical labor in their lives. The working class knows it, and they're not buying it. So who's this “working class” movement actually for?
