“Oh, come on, she did lay out an agenda, one that would help average Americans”

In broad strokes, but nothing like “no tax on overtime or tipping wages”.

While appalling, Trump’s threats to round up immigrants plays well for the 70% of the labor market that stands to lose in a world where they have to compete with undocumented labor. The educated elite don’t have to worry about the economic threats posed by undocumented labor. The answer isn’t fascism, it’s labor protection. A national minimum wage indexed to the poverty level, serious reform of labor laws protecting and expanding collective bargaining, enforcing laws against monopolies, lifting the cap on FICA to extend its solvency and expand benefits, etc.

By expanding the social wage and protecting all labor we undermine the economic incentive capital has to exploit undocumented labor.

Dan Osborne had a message that resonated. Democrats need to figure a way toward a real working class politics instead of the third way nonsense we’ve been pursuing for thirty plus years.
