It seems to me that there's no place for it precisely because of what PG calls "woke". Class consciousness doesn't work if it's not reciprocal. Obama put up great working class numbers, but the modern Democratic coalition isn't willing to pander to socially conservative views, so it doesn't work so well anymore.

A pithy but I really feel important example: a party with no room for Joe Rogan in it is definitionally not a party of the working class.
