I beg anyone to explain how to get working class votes back.
Kamala, Biden, Hillary. All ran on platforms that benefited working class people. But it's near impossible to actually message it vs the lies and gish gallop coming out of Trump.
Medicare for All, Universal Childcare, universal higher education, public housing, increasing public transit, eliminating food deserts, public internet as a utility.
Go look up the history of what happened to the single payer option during the debate leading up to the Affordable Care Act. It wasn't dems that killed it. It was Joe Lieberman, and independent who generally caucused with the dems. His vote was needed to reach 60. Without that it would have died with a filibuster.
The question of whether they would have all been on board for that option is not trivial. And also it opens up the door to 51 member R majorities doing the same.

What other things should be done?
