Katrina vanden Heuvel, Washington Post - A critical factor was revealed in a recent New York Times-Siena College poll: Though they enjoy a huge 20-point advantage over Republicans among white college-educated voters, the Democrats have a working-class problem.
The Democratic Party is losing support not just among White, but all non-college educated voters, trailing the GOP
by 12 points. It is becoming the party of upscale urban and suburban
voters, while Republicans are beginning to consolidate a multiracial
coalition of working-class voters.
Why
is this happening? A chorus of armchair pundits and centrist think
tanks believe they know who’s to blame. Not Biden, not Democratic
centrists, not the gerontocracy that runs the party in the House and
Senate, nor the party establishment.

The problem is that the centrists also oppose all the leftist suggestions that would actually benefit the working class like better wages, real health care coverage for everyone, and real non auto transportation options
