I especially liked the bar graphs showing relative support for various egalitarian policies. I keep running across the word pre distribution. The working class much prefers higher wages while the wealthy prefer higher taxes and then they will give handouts. I'd assume so all of those Sociology majors can get work at with the groups.

Towards the end of both the article and the study, Jacobin gives some ideas of how various policies can attract 10% of Trump voters, which would be enough for a huge bellwether shift in electoral power. Unfortunately the upper and middle class make policy in our party.
