Reason to be skeptical of calls for Dems to appeal to white-working class again. GOP doubled-down on their white base with Trump and won instead of appealing to more diverse voters.
The election came down to less than 1% margins in three rust belt states. You honestly don't think democrats could've swayed just a few more of this demographic to pull out a victory in 2016?
Hillary Clinton never even stepped foot in Wisconsin during the general election. Democrats took these states and these voters for granted.
I can understand democrats trying to increase minority turnout for 2020; this makes sense. But trying to win over moderate upper class suburbanites to replace the WWC voters that are bleeding from their Party? Forget about it.
-But upper class suburbanites have more money to donate than the WWC.
That was
so helpful for Hillary Clinton.
