> ...or rallying to the defense of the Duchess of Sussex, a literal princess married to a family of billionaires

FWIW, nobody I know (either left-leaning or right-learning) cares about her at all. I'm curious where you're hearing this from.

> while kicking poor white workers in the teeth

How?

> the latter are suspicious that a man belongs in a woman's locker room.

Well, I'm glad that we can all agree that trans men are okay, then!

I'm actually not sure anymore which side of the aisle, if any, anyone in this conversation joins, but in the US, both the Democrats and Republicans have spent the last 70 years selling the average worker down river, whether by trade agreements that made it profitable to do all manufacturing in China or decades of successful anti-union and anti-"socialism" propaganda or banking deregulation, or letting coal mines poison you while also letting them write the textbooks that tell you you should be thankful for being poisoned, to embroiling us in middle east nonsense, to the war on drugs, to stabbing important unionized transportation workers in the back directly (Both parties have an explicit case of this!!!)

The republicans switched to ideological and religious stuff mid century, and the democrats seemingly responded by just.... walking away from the common man? It's weird. If you want to vote for workers empowerment in the US, you don't have an option.
