Mike Rowe appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher last night and dismantled the myth that the DSA is some kind of working class movement.
It’s the second time this week that he has talked about the DSA in a negative light. He went viral on Twitter/X earlier in the week by calling them out over the dangers of communism.
Here, what Rowe suggests is that most of these people have useless college degrees and are drowning in debt because of it. They can’t find jobs and are angry about it.

“This is happening because a lot of people with a really expensive credential are in the hole in a big way.”

“They took our advice.”
“We said borrow whatever it takes. Go follow your dream. And then go get your dream job. And that was a bunch of nonsense!”

That is exactly right.
If you listen to DSA candidates and supporters, they constantly mention the working class as if they are part of it and support members of the working class, but it’s all just words and talking points to them.
None of these people are working class. They know absolutely nothing about the working class.
