They only organize protests like this when Republicans are in power but the Republicans are less likely to give a shit, and Dems are only 5% better for the working class - if that. By some metrics they're worse. We need to have these protests regardless of who is in power, I don't think the Dems really understand that the people no longer see them as the party of the working class, but they need to hear that message.
