      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.

    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.

      I sadly knew some Republicans in the Obama days who legitimately believed that getting the supersize at McDonald’s meant they were in the 1%

      These people have no idea what reality is.

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

        And saying “middle class” instead of “working class” gives a bit less ammunition for those in on the right who want to use “socialist” as a smear.

        And without giving the Dems a majority on both houses, let alone the super majority that’s actually needed for fundamental changes!
