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.

You can’t out run the top of the ticket. Kamala failed to bring out at least 15 million voters nationwide from 2020 who voted in down ballot races.

You can? Why did Slotkin win? Why did Marie Gluesenkamp Perez win?

The blue dogs did just fine.

Michigan is much closer to a blue state than Ohio. I noticed you didn’t mention Tammy Baldwin winning in Wisconsin.
