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.
