After Trump wins election, liberals speak out against ‘ignorant’ voters – The Militant

[....] Rubin goes so far as to make the argument that “low-information” voters have trouble understanding issues or “assessing the state of the economy.” But workers live in the crisis-ridden reality of high prices, joblessness and rising uncertainty. We know what is happening to ourselves and to millions of fellow workers who are looking for ways to change these conditions.  

Rubin says, “What is the point of asking such voters their view?” She urges Democrats to just “reduce and simplify” their message for workers who voted for Trump, or didn’t vote at all. Some 89 million eligible voters didn’t see enough in either capitalist candidate to vote, substantially more than the numbers of votes either Trump or Harris got.  

Rubin’s piece captures the disdain shown toward working people by the liberal big-business media and capitalist politicians of all stripes. These views are especially prevalent among members of the upper-middle-class meritocratic layers that dominate the Democratic Party today. They’re convinced their own “higher education and income,” as Rubin puts it, qualifies them to administer and regulate the lives of the toiling majority on behalf of the country’s exploiting capitalist rulers.
