Forget the left intellectuals for a moment.

The urban working class, especially men and women of colour, have a pretty consistent history of voting for the Democrats against the Republicans.

Why is this? "False consciousness" - ie. they're just too dumb?

I've made my own views known many times on on why the urban workers vote Democratic, even in the so-called red states, but I'd like to hear how Doug and others explain it.
