Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on ābread-and-butterā concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harrisās progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sandersā messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for āabandoningā the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.
Ah not sure if you watched the video. But agreed. Iām not sure it will work but we better damn try our best in our personal lives. Canāt trust society to help guide anymore :/
Ah, no, I didnāt. I generally donāt watch videos. I just read what you said about numeracy and moved on to the point about other forms of education being my concern.
Haha thatās totally fair. I generally donāt either. But that one surprised me a bit. Friend at work shared it to show the context of how confused we all are due to what we are objectively told to feel. Rather than HOW we feel.
