‘Can You Really Be a Working-Class Party if There Are Very Few Workers in Your Party?’

I loved the original headline (see above) on Thomas Edsall’s latest piece at the NYT, but they’ve since changed it. Too bad. The original one perfectly summed up the DSA Party, whose membership is overwhelmingly made up of college-grad professionals completely out of touch with working-class people they say they represent, as Edsall notes and shows. … Sociology and gender-studies majors of the world, unite! 

Fyi – I’m thinking of starting a regular feature on Hub Blog: ‘Red Menace Rising Update,’ focusing on everything socialist, socialist, socialist, from overreactions to socialists to hypocrisy of socialists. It’s so exciting!
