What a piece of work.

Compare, same faulted outlet, but more intelligent, decent understanding:
SEN. SANDERS: I think if I am a working class person in this country, I’ve seen my job go to China, I’m working for $9 an hour when I used to make $20 an hour. I don’t have health care or a can’t afford prescription drugs. You’re resentful. Are we talking to those people. I think we’re beginning to see that under the last few months under Biden, but Democrats, traditionally, have been very tepid and feeble about going big.
SWAN: I think there’s a glossiness to it. A sort of San Francisco-New York gloss to the party.
SEN. SANDERS: (Imitation) I’m so smart! I’m really smart! We go to $100 dinners and who really cares about those working-class people?” (Imitation ends). I think it is fair to say, as a result of heavy duty corporate campaign contributions, the Democrat Party has drifted away from the part of FDR and even Harry Truman and being understood and perceived correctly as the working-class party.
SWAN: If that can’t be changed, if that trend of the Democrat Party becomes the party of the college educated, Republicans become the party of the not, do you think that’s sustainable for a progressive party?
SEN. SANDERS: No. And I don’t think it’s sustainable for American democracy.
Despite the typos, you get the drift. People matter, beyond needing a prod to get out and work for indecently low wages. Pay more. Profit a little less. It's not rocket science.
If you cannot pay decently and still profit, shut down your failing operation. But do not take capital's fault out on labor. Which is what McConnell advocates. He and wife Chao being millionaires, they've no problem with capital ruling ruthlessly. They like it.
