    which middle class is that? what is the US middle class now?

    what’s between gig workers and business owners?

      I usually see people who can comfortably save and invest as middle class. If you can only barely save or are paycheck to paycheck you would be working poor.

    Harris vows to work for the people in the middle of the bell curve.

    Why is this not absolute normalcy?

    I would be interested in knowing more specifically who she considers “middle class”. The definition from the 50’s no longer describes anyone.

    I think the MAGA movement has convinced itself they are all upper class, or at least temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

    Okay super now what about the working class, the disabled, and the elderly? That overpriced healthcare thing ain’t gonna fix itself.
