Working class is working class, red or blue.

True but not relevant to what I said. Everyone of us needs to learn from our mistakes, but in order to do that we have to admit we made them.

Dem leadership is as pro-corporate as the current admin.

False, I doubt the Dems would have dismantled the government at the behest of the world's richest man (along with giving him access to all of our tax and social security records) and also not relevant to what I said.

Don't underestimate the effect that propeganda[sic] ran by our very own government has on its citizenry.

Accurate, America is one of the most heavily propagandized populations in history, but not relevant because all they had to do was listen to the words of Trump's actual campaign speeches or read his actual campaign literature to know what he was planning to do. He didn't hide his intentions, people just thought he wasn't serious about them.
