Low Income Voters (>$50,000/year) Put Joe in the White House

[georgephillip]

Progs dont understand this was the United States of America, where even someone from the Ghetto can with hard work and skills, make something of themselves..
Watch Morgan Freeman if you dare....

Did you pay any attention to Freeman's thoughts on US income inequality? Morgan Freeman is among the "talented tenth" ( the ten percent of humans capable of achieving success on level, heavily regulated playing fields) Cons can no more point to his success in Hollywood and say "anyone can do it" than they can single out Jim Brown and say anyone who works hard enough can star in the NFL.

Huh?

You said greater than 50,000 $ / year.

Yeah, I made a high school-level mistake in my title:

Remembering the Greater Than Sign & Less Than Sign

What percentage of voters earning less than $50,000 a year would you classify as political "moderates"? How many of those voters would benefit from Medicare for All or partial amortization of all student debt?

Low Income Voters Turned Out for Biden, Now They Need Relief
BY SARAH ANDERSON – MARGOT RATHKE"

"According to early polls, voters with household incomes of less than $50,000 in 2019 broke for Biden by 55 to 43 percent — a 12 point margin, compared to 8 four years ago.

"This helped overcome Trump’s gains among households with incomes above $100,000 — from 45 percent in 2016 to just over half in 2020.

"At least 6 million more people in low-income households voted in 2020 compared to 2016."

Once again, Democrats lost the White vote.

What happened in 1964 to cause that?

Interesting. I'm not really surprised.

64 was a bad, sad and weird year.

This time of the year in 1964 it appeared Republicans were buried with little chance of recovering...
How your state voted in 2016, compared to 15 prior elections

If four years of Donald Trump has shown me anything, it is that the US is NOT a post-racial society.

1964 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

"Johnson championed his passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, also advocating a series of anti-poverty programs collectively known as the Great Society.

"Goldwater espoused a low-tax, small-government philosophy.

"Although he supported previous attempts to pass civil rights legislation in 1957 and 1960 as well as the 24th Amendment outlawing the poll tax, Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as he felt that Title II violated individual liberty and states' rights."

You really need to stop reading these wacko sites. Occupy Democrats?...LOL

The numbers in your MEME are complete nonsense.

Heritage Foundation?
Really??

The Heritage Foundation - Wikipedia.

"In 1973, businessman Joseph Coors contributed $250,000 to establish The Heritage Foundation and continued to fund it through the Adolph Coors Foundation.[75][76]

"In 1973, it had trustees from Chase Manhattan Bank, Dow Chemical, General Motors, Pfizer, Sears and Mobil.[77]

"Heritage is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization as well as a BBB Wise Giving Alliance accredited charity funded by donations from private individuals, corporations and charitable foundations.[78][79][80]

"As a 501(c)(3), Heritage is not required to disclose its donors and donations to the foundation are tax-deductible."

Yep. He’s going to fill his administration with war profiteers and big bankers.

As bad as Trump is, Biden is very likely to be much worse.

Biden is pro-war, pro-Wall Street, and has no interest in advancing Medicare for All or any other "progressive" issue. He has few of Trump's rough edges, but he may be the most skilled politician to enter the White House since LBJ.

Depending on how severe the Covid fallout becomes next winter, it isn't likely Biden will face the same sort of grassroots political pressure that inspired FDR to create his New Deal 90 years ago:

Why Biden Will Keep the U.S.-Imposed Cold War Rolling
BY VIJAY PRASHAD"
CounterPunch Front Page - CounterPunch.org

"Much will certainly change in the world of U.S. foreign policy when Joe Biden enters the White House.

"There will be a more measured tone, and less reliance upon Twitter to announce U.S. policy.

"Trump is brusque, as illustrated by the way he shoved aside Montenegro’s Prime Minister Dusko Markovic at the 2017 NATO meeting; Biden might not push and shove his way to the front of the group, but his silvery smile will camouflage as ruthless a set of aims.

"On foreign policy, Biden will appear to be different from Trump, but the broad outlines of their policy will be identical."
