White collar workers don't have significant class interests in opposition to blue collar workers. We all benefit from that which benefits the poorest of us. For example, when the minimum wage is raised, we all end up making more money than we did before. It's not reality.
Citation needed. You can look at votastats broken down by income and you can see that there is significant differences between the way people vote based on their economic status in fact their economic status is the greatest effector of how they would vote. You cannot state that social classes do not exist in the United States because they so demonstrably do.
The reason the original comment is so massively downvoted is because it is so plaintively false.
Yeah, that's because the so-called middle class are brainwashed into voting against their class interests by propaganda. Or did you think Trump's economic policy is a win for the middle class?
Right so you admit that social classes in the United States do exist, something that you originally contested.
No, you just forgot to read the phrase "so-called".
