Democrats need to address the "Working Class" problem and get over the "Isms"

31. Biden is a straight, white man.

Protestant hasn't mattered since JFK. Just look at SCOTUS. It's like a college of fucking Cardinals. No, he polled abysmally. Harris didn't change that much. Turns out the polls many here poo pooed, me included, weren't wrong after all. But why did they poll so badly given policies that actually brought down inflation and helped average people? Honestly, I was with you a week ago. But after much thought, I don't think that's the whole issue. Certainly not the root problem.

Granted, being a minority female in a neanderthal country didn't help. But that's not the whole story. If you convince people you care and can help their wallets, many will look past all that. Root problem is, we're not convincing them. Trump is. As completely stupid as that sounds on its face, that's where we are.

Didn't use to be like that. I remember when Democrats were synonymous with the working class. With the masses. Repukes were the inverse. It was true, accurate, but somehow we lost that. Fux News is one cause, but still, we ceded it to the Repukes without a fight. Now, even though our policies STILL actually help average people no matter their demographic, we look like a bunch of college professors. Unconvincing. While I personally don't have a problem with that, the average Joe Schmo apparently does. If we can convince them we will help on kitchen table issues, if we have the average person's back, I think the rest of the bullshit Fux News, et. al. spews will pale in comparison in their minds.

In short, we don't message to the masses worth a shit. Haven't in ages.
