Joining us this week to talk about the real composition of the so-called “white working class” is Laura Bucci, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University.

Adam and Aimee start off the show with some reflections on our political moment as well as some critical advice for dealing with naughty kangaroos. In the interview, we cover a large variety of topics, from the nature of the white working class, the decline in union density, how to measure voting behavior and preferences, and the intersection of race and class. Finally, Aimee and Adam end the show with some extended musings on the Janus ruling and the role of the Supreme Court in politics.
