Historically disadvantaged populations don't take the help for granted. They conduct drives to register those eligible to vote and get them to the polls. The working class doesn't match that as a group.
The Dems' focus shifted away from the working class partly because after they gave it help, it became placated and politically indolent. It couldn't be bothered to get out and vote in numbers necessary to offset the effect of the Electoral College.
Example:
You.
I don't envision the Future Majority group gaining traction with the party at large. I do envision the party using it as a propaganda tool to spread false hope.
