Reconnecting the Democratic Party to the working class is an electoral and a moral imperative, and it will be my mission for the rest of my life.

Summary

Democrats must reclaim their identity as the party of the working class to regain electoral strength.

Despite pro-labor policies under Biden, working-class voters feel disconnected, seeing Democrats as defenders of a failing system.

The party’s decline traces back to NAFTA and neoliberal economic policies that favored corporations over workers.

A generational effort to prioritize labor rights, fair wages, and economic security while addressing working-class frustrations are needed.

Without serious reform, Democrats will continue losing ground to populist alternatives.

          Assuming they spent every dollar her husband made in his life while being an investment banker, and just put her wages in, using 10% average growth (10 year average is over that for the Stock market).

          She is below average for the market. She’d be worth about 210 million. But she’s way lower than that in real life.

          When you can deposit $174,000 to income annually into the market… You arent playing the same struggles that we are.

          Her money would very likely check out, you have to remember she’s been in office for 48 years. That’s a long fucking time. She was at JFK’s inauguration as a 20 year old student studying to become a Congress member.

            This is satire right? It’s painfully obvious that she is insider trading and has been doing so along with her husband for years.

            She just casually outperforms all the best stock traders in the world every year for the last 40+ years.

              Not only is this exaggerated and false, her buying in selling is now online which I think shouldn’t happen but I understand why they did so. Since being online it has still out performed them, and shown no insider trading. So if you want to bring some evidence I’d be glad to look at it but this claim has been so widely said people just accepted it like much of what Trump says. The number of Republicans and Democrats who have wanted Pelosi gone is extraordinarly high (often for good reasons), if there was evidence of it they would have used it to bring her down and put her in jail. Instead it appears she has invested in mostly tech companies over “40 years” and done well because of it.
