Democrats need to get this pro trans BS. This turns off the working class.

Blue wave from now on. Then demand that the Democrats repeal the cap on the social security tax. Make the rich pay their fair share in taxes. Pass Medicare for all. Bring back regulations. Pass some real trade reform. Support the Unions.

Unfortunately, democrats will never understand blue-collar people. Blue-collar people have common sense.

Democrat stupidity is the reason why housing and rent expenses have skyrocketed out of reach for the working man, the elderly and the young generation moving away from home for the first time . . democrats flooded and overpopulated the states with ILLEGAL ALIENS, driving up the DEMAND for housing, thereby raising the COSTS . . the LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND says housing costs rise whenever there is a greater DEMAND for housing than there is a SUPPLY of housing!

Democrats pretend to hate the rich. Just ask Nancy Pelosi. How do liberal policies help the poor and working class??
Defund the police?? Hurts the poor and working class
Open borders?? Hurts the poor and working class
Free trade deals?? Hurts the poor and working class

Too late. Black folks know they're just lip service with no results with voting rights act and police reform and East Palestine Ohio residents are finding out they are left hanging with the rest of us. Want help from government agencies then move to Ukraine

Ryan needs to stop courting Maga voters and stop tearing down his own party.Thats why he lost.

I really miss Tim Ryan's Congressional speeches. Very firey! It was so disappointing to me that he lost for Senate. I was glad to hear from him in this interview.

It's great to see Mr. Ryan again! He should have won the Senate seat. He ran a great campaign.

Even if Biden has done good things it does not negate the fact that middle class workers cannot save, afford healthcare, afford housing, and not better there lives despite working well after they are able as seniors. Very disheartening.

Missed his chance in East Palestine. Hello, Ryan pronounced it like he's from here. Good job.
We are in a media black out of only conservative media. We need more than Fox, Fox Affiliates and radical right radio. Oh, newspapers too.

Tim Ryan who are "blue collar workers" in your mind because YOU DID NOT ENGAGE the entire swath of blue collar workers; check the exit polls for 2022 Ohio election results. YOU IGNORED THE MOST LOYAL DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUENCY!!

I am not from this state but I gave to his campaign in the hopes of helping Ohio to have a great chance at a real working Governor! Would help again if he runs! Great to see he's still got his focus on the real issues! 👏

Dems failed worker America with NAFTA, failed passage of Labor Law Reform protecting workers right rise through unions and end family wage jobs leaving US all to pacify profit over country. GOP shafting worker America is not new and Dems can do more for fairness.

Dems talk alot about helping the majority, YET they do NOT. Promise to add 4 Supreme court justice in the last election? Nada so far. DOJ never even looked at the 8 counts of O-of-Justice that the Mueller investigation found. That 45 helped Putin invade Ukraine w/green lighting it, NEVER even discussed in the HOUSE Or Senate? The list is long and wide.

But those East Palestine residents got Trump water so that should fix everything, right? SMH. Republican voters deserve exactly what they get. Republicans push blue collar culture issues in order to distract from the fact that fundamental Democratic postions benefit middle-class workers.

"blue collar workers" aka poor white people will happily vote against their own interests if it's under the pretense of hurting marginalized groups, it's proven that they see anything outside of their echo chamber as "fake news", "liberal agenda", "propaganda", etc… how do you win over a group that isn't operating from a place of reality?

"The Middle Class refers to a Class of people in the middle of a Social Hierarchy, often defined by Occupation, Income, Education, or Social Status.
The term has Historically been associated with Modernity, Capitalism, and Political Debate. Common definitions for the Middle Class range from the Middle 1/5 of Individuals on a Nation's Income Ladder, to everyone but the Poorest and Wealthiest 20%. Theories like "Paradox of Interest" use Decile Groups, and Wealth Distribution Data to determine the Size, and Wealth Share of the Middle Class."
