The manufacturing jobs have gone. Either overseas or Mexico. Cheap labor and poor union support. The Democratic party did slide to the right. Corporate money convinced them to do so. Many here have lamented about "establishment" Dems. Only to be chastised by "the powers that be here."
Fortunately our current President Biden is showing some real Democratic zeal in regaining the support of working people. Maybe better days are coming, who knows?
