Every politician you mentioned by name made an effort to reach out to the working class and be inclusive of them and tell them that their interests were a priority, that’s why they won. My point is that all of these unpopular candidates talked past the working class and ignored the reality faced by most people (work doesn’t pay enough and everything is too expensive) and essentially ran on an “I’m not the Republican” platform. They misidentified the core needs of their voters and failed to be electable.
The especially frustrating part of this is that we just did this same thing in 2016 and the democratic neoliberal committee appears to have learned absolutely nothing.
