Instead of shilling for the white """"working class""""

[forjusticethunders]

(Marx is rolling in his grave at the idea that reactionary petit bougies are the working class, though some actual white workers did shift to Trump)

Can someone tell me how the fuck we lost 10m (some who stayed home, others who actually shifted to Trump ffs) from the Obama Coalition and how we can get them back?

Also yes part of the answer is voter suppression, but that's the game we have to play and win at.

1. Where are you getting 10 million?

Clinton 2016: 64.7 million and counting

Obama 2012: 65.9 million

2. Propaganda works.

6 corporations own 80% of all the media in this country, and that media has been shilling for the RW alt-right Nazis for 30 yrs.

3. This elitist shit talk is exactly why we lost. Tone deafness is political DEATH.

No one is shilling and the white working class is made up of mostly good, decent Americans whose life have been ravaged and they are angry and scared. Hillary didn't talk to them. Trump, as much of asshole as he is, DID. She barely campaigned there. He DID at lot. He came to Maine several times. She didn't come at all, and he won northern Maine.

She was running ads about child care, and he was running ads about creating jobs.

She and her team fucked it up. Plain and simple. Yes, there were other reasons why she lost, but she lost in the rust belt and deserved to lose there because she took those states for granted. Now, live and LEARN.
