Democrats gaining real ground since 2024 with college graduates and voters without degrees alike.

But measured against 2018, the last Democratic midterm wave, the party is still deep in the hole with working-class voters, and its coalition is more lopsided by class than ever.

Throughout this piece it keeps making a distinction between “working class” and “college educated” voters. Most of us, college educated or not, are working class. Did I miss the queue where they hand out titles, trusts or capital upon graduation? White collar work is still work. Well paid professionals still pay all the taxes. And many college grads are unable to secure well paying professional work.

The real class problem in the party is the donor class vs the voter class. It’s obvious that many in leadership will happily throw the voters under the bus, so long as it keeps the big doners happy

Yes. It's the exact contradiction that needs to be addressed. We are aware. It's a step. Not a destination.

I swear articles like this are written to just suck all the momentum out of a movement.
