These are people, based on social class, who should be Democrats.
"Based on social class" -- Dems always put people into buckets or classes. That is why normal, ordinary, everyday Americans absolutely HATE Democrats. Yet even this guy writing about possible fixes cannot help himself. The first thing he does is put the people they want to woo back into a bucket. They would then pit this bucket against the homo bucket, the trans bucket, the woman bucket, the ghetto bucket, the illegal immigrant bucket. They just don't get it.
Democrats need to nominate more compelling candidates, who can narrate the grievances of ordinary Americans in a convincing way and propose drastic remedies.
He just cannot help himself, can he?. They want to capture people by appealing to their "grievances." Every person in their many buckets has "grievances." Again, they would have to pit every bucket of people with their own pet "grievances" against each other. There is NO WAY to win that with so many competing "grievances." It is doomed to fail.
It is so funny that he cannot see he is perpetuating their very fundamental problems with his proposed fixes. They just cannot see the way for the nation to succeed and win is getting government out of the way, ending all this bucket- and grievance-focused politics, and embracing freedom and liberty for all.
Moreover, if they have a choice that means either helping themselves or hurting someone in the basket of deplorables, they’ll hurt the deplorables all day every day.
Excellent analysis...
