There are working class people on both sides. In fact most people on both sides aren’t exactly mega rich elites. Its weird to me that both parties claim to love the working class common man yet I’ve seen democrats diss on rural white people and republicans diss on retail/coffee baristas etc. I think both sides are hypocrites when it comes to it. 

And yes I know this is some both sides are the same centrism and I’m not always like this but this is one instance where one can not argue how true it is. This isn’t even a criticism of our politicians necessarily so much as people’s political divide/biases

It actually isn't, in my estimation. Both sides really do this, and it's because we do this thing in representative politics where we put more weight on *who* or *what side* is supporting a policy rather than the policy itself and if it aligns with their values. 


The inner city servicepeople and the rural blue-collar labor folks are both working class pillars of our society. The segregation and compartmentalization of the proletariat by Democrats and Republicans is akin to when slavemasters would dissuade revolts by giving arbitrary hierarchies and castes to their slaves: the white rednecks picking cotton alongside the blacks weren't slaves, they were indentured servants. The lightskinned and the mulattoes were treated mildly better than the dark skinned ones were, which summoned contempt among the dark skinned slaves. Now the aggression of the chattel has been successfully diverted to each other rather than the massively outnumbered slavemasters and security forces upholding the system.
