    I think the core of the problem is that the democrats left behind white low to medium income families and individuals. The US is about half democrat and half republican with a chunk in the middle called the swing voters. The democrats appealed to the existing democrats instead of the swing voters. I’m not sure what the demographic is for the swing voters but I have a feeling it is probably people who don’t want to see an extreme left.

      So… you’re blaming the democrats for not running on “yes I will ruin this economy again” platform? I’m confused as to what that speaks to low to medium income voters… I am in that graphic, trickle down has been nothing but a godsend to the rich, and bootstraps was a joke to make fun of the poor… so where was any of this supposed to speak to “us” tell me what lost the vote? Last 4 years were ok, the years before less so, these look bad (hey I’m repeating myself)

        I’m referencing a news segment I watched about low income people in places like Kentucky and West Virginia.
