    Someone who’d go as far as calling them the “American Peasant” probably doesn’t know enough about their interests to be talking at them about what their interests as a class are.

      We know what we are: wage slaves. Other than being technically ahistorical, “peasant” is close enough to what we are: the oppressed class. I don’t see a problem.

        How do I just know you wrote this on a $3,000 rainbow-LED gaming rig you bought with your parent’s engineer wages?

          You are no Sherlock 😂 I’ve been working as a software developer since the early ’90s and am more than old enough to join AARP.

      What an amazingly privileged response.

        Calling out the inherent privilege carried by those who’d feel comfortable letting the republicans win to “teach the establishment a lesson” is not, in fact, a privileged response.
