That is what the democrats told people who lost their jobs to closed coal mines and closed manufacturing plants.

    Democrats didn't close the manufacturing plants. Capitalists did.

    Serving capital has been the primary organizing function of the Democratic Party for at least the last 40 years.

    I know, that's why I said "manufacturing plants" and not "coal mines".

    Capitalists closed the coal mines too.

    Modern day mining techniques require a small fraction of the manual labor they used to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountaintop_removal_mining

    (Of course they also probably ruin the environment, but nobody seems to give a shit about that.)
