The majority of the working class in America is women and POC.
And white men as a group haven't voted majority Democrat since 1964--they stopped after LBJ signed the the #VRA.
Flip the narrative and start listening to the ACTUAL working class--the rest of us.

Stop centering white men for everything.
Stop claiming only white men can save us from the damage white men did to us.
Women are the working class--my investigation here:

.@matthewstoller is very worried about white men, but it's really women of all races who are facing the worst effects of economic and social stresses.

Well it's 6ish so let's get this #firedeptVRA started! Welcome to Whitewater Twp Station 105, if you were expecting a Taj Mahal of a firehouse, this definitely isn't it. Shift starts at 6am and I'm here for 36hrs (gross) #VRA 
We run a 2 man station because of reasons I won't get into and I'm the senior guy which is completely unfair because I have to be the responsible one...and I get yelled at if anything happens. Again not fair. #firedeptVRA #VRA
Hmmm it's 0620 and we've checked the trucks and have done all the house chores. This is entirely too productive and I don't like it. #firedeptVRA #VRA
On this fifth anniversary of the #ShelbyCountyvHolder decision and today's ruling in #AbbottvPerez—another voting rights decision that comes at a "serious cost" to our democracy—take some time to read our "Democracy Diminished" report: bit.ly/2KiTaVD. #RestoreTheVote
In the #ShelbyCountyvHolder decision, #SCOTUS gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 5 acted as a crucial checkpoint for democracy, "stopping discriminatory voting laws before any election." #RestoreTheVote nytimes.com/2017/12/11/opi…
Since #ShelbyCountyvHolder, LDF has been monitoring state & local threats to voting, paying close attention to the states & localities that previously had to seek pre-approval of any voting changes as had been required by a fully-functioning #VRA. #RestoreTheVote
