    True, however the tough question is what should Clinton receiving unprecedented degrees of support from the "white working class" tell us. He destroyed what remained of its Great Society/New Deal legacy over the Democratic Party, embraced the same sort of racist messaging/policies as the Republicans, and was seemingly rewarded by a majority of them for it.

    It's why I'm somewhat pessimistic towards the common idea in socialist circles that if only Bernie won, if only the Democrats embraced M4A and other progressive policies, that the white working class would turn out in droves for the Dems.
