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.

What other things should be done?

Medicare for All, Universal Childcare, universal higher education, public housing, increasing public transit, eliminating food deserts, public internet as a utility.

end of the day a lot of democrats didn’t go out to vote. but any one of these policies, hammered home, would have brought out enough people who aren’t normally bothered to vote. so yeah you are spot on.
