Daily News | Pa. Democrats aim to appeal to working-class voters with policy, symbolism, and some anger
as a Democrat who would fight for “forgotten communities.” And as U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio has started his first term representing a Western Pennsylvania district, he’s delivered sharp criticism of “the incompetence and greed” of “big corporations” such as Norfolk Southern.
But Democrats argue they’ve always been — and remain — the true party of working people. They say their policies, including support for labor unions, expanded health-care access, and a higher minimum wage, offer tangible help for the working class while Republicans have pushed tax cuts and deregulation that benefit the wealthy and corporations.
While some on the Democratic side, including Sen. Bernie Sanders , have embraced populism, railing against financial elites, Trump channeled it most emphatically. He blended white racial grievances with raw fury at the establishments in both parties, which he said had sold out ordinary workers. It was hugely successful in some culturally conservative parts of Pennsylvania that had lost much of their industry and that finally broke with their Democratic roots.
Pennsylvania has a higher than average share of voters who didn’t attend college, giving much of it a blue-collar culture and worldview. “For Democrats, populism is about economics. For Republicans, it’s largely about cultural grievances,” Balaban said.near the Pennsylvania-Ohio border presents a prime target for anger at big business.
