The Democrats are now the main party of the globalists, C suite executives, technocrats, billionaires and the entitled self proclaimed ruling class.
I laugh when the far leftist progressive activists say that they are the resistance. They are nothing more than the useful idiots of the establishment power structure.
It's high and low against the middle. The Democrats are openly the party of the high and the low now.
I have seen signs for Biden only on the lawns of "highly educated" middle class-wealthy suburbanites and technocrats.
It is so obvious that there is a class divide between who supports Biden versus who supports Trump.
On paper almost anyone would automatically expect me to support Biden based on my industry of work, my ethnic background, my location and my level of post graduate education attained.
These people would be dead wrong.
I never will share who I vote for because in this climate the best thing that would happen is I get cancelled, the worst case would not be any bit good to say the least.
I know for sure the shy Trump voter effect exists because hell I have to be one of them to make a living in this fucking industry.
My heart yearns to see all of these people entirely meltdown over a Trump victory.
This is what they deserve for stifling free speech and condemning all of us who disagree with them.

Way back in 2016 before the election, when my coworkers brought up not knowing anyone voting for Trump, I told them "There are people calling for Trump supporters to be fired from their jobs. Why would anyone who needed to keep their job to survive reveal that?" How much more true is that statement today?
The day after the 2016 election you could tell who the handful of Trump voters were because they were the only ones not walking around the office as though someone had died.
At this point my vote from Trump is a giant "fuck you" to the emails I get from HR telling me that "Diversity and Inclusion" is a non-negotiable core value, and the emails I got from all my bosses up the food-chain lamenting the death of George Floyd and America's problem with "racism" (an interesting claim, considering both my boss and his boss are first-generation immigrants from ethno-states which wouldn't dream of having the same lax immigration policy as the US does. Certainly I wouldn't be allowed to immigrate to either of their home countries).
Its the same in most Western countries. People with more money than sense fall for the kind of emotionally driven propaganda that these kinds of parties use.
Naive, well-off people can afford tax increases and live far enough away from problem areas. They don't have to worry about the consequences of the eco and immigration policies they vote for.
Their children enjoy the same privileges and get indoctrinated by the education system half the day. The rest of the day they're busy telling everyone else how ignorant and backwards they are.
I've noticed this too, I recall getting into an argument with someone I went to high school with over gun control and he basically couldn't comprehend why people would need guns when the police exist.
This argument happened onboard his yacht. Not even kidding.
This is what makes the Reddit salt threads from Barrett's confirmation last night so sad. There's a bunch of comments calling for a general strike in protest of the confirmation which just made me go WTF.
If you've spent the last several months protesting every night, I doubt you're holding down a regular job.
If you keep demanding more and more lockdowns while you hide from the virus, I doubt your job is all that essential.
If you're a (as the r/socialism survey from a few years ago suggests ) an upper middle class white dude living with your parents who has never held down a job for any length of time, there's nothing for you to go on strike from.
You're not the working class. You're not the average joe. The only people who vote Dem anymore are rich people who want to stay in power or wanna-be Commies who want more free stuff and are too dumb to realize they're just cannon fodder for the first group.
