Affordable Healthcare, minimum wage advocacy, affordable housing, forgiving college debt, etc don't mean anything to the people in the rust belt (as is evidence by the 2016 election results). Why...
Because what these people want are their MANUFACTURING JOBS back from overseas. They want the ability to provide for themselves, not an increase in social programs that are going to raise their taxes anyway! And even if Democrats felt this was the way to go, do you really want to relay that message through EVA LONGORIA, TRACY ELLIS-ROSS, KERRY WASHINGTON, BILLY ILLISH, and JOHN LEGEND at a publicly televised convention? Hollywood celebrities will NOT flip the rust belt back. But, go ahead shoot yourselves in the foot again. More Supreme Court picks for Republicans!
They know Democrats are more tough on the economic establishment in this country, unlike Republicans who give them everything they want while ignoring the majority of American workers.

He's a billionaire hedge fund manager so he... hedges. Think very carefully about that... He's admitting that Biden/Harris and a Dem Admin would provide him with a greater opportunity to rake in the most $$$$$, just like Wall Street raked in the most $$$$$ during the Obama Admin.
In contrast, here's what happened during the trump Admin:
After they did an autopsy on Hillary's loss, they came to the conclusion that it was because of a lack of minorities and women turning out in battle ground states. So they are catering their message to court these voters more. The Dem convention on tv has made this strategy apparent.
However, this is NOT why they lost. They lost because Blue Collar working-class men and women, in the Rust Belt (Blue wall), voted for Trump even though they voted for Obama years before. These are people often called The Forgotten Man, The Little Guy, or Reagan/Trump- Democrats. Many of these people would've voted for Bernie Sanders because of his populist message.
The Democratic Party is STILL forgetting to speak directly to the working class (the Little Guy), and would rather be represented by Hollywood celebrities than factory workers with dirt on their faces. They are TOAST in 2020!
I would also add that their message is filled with hate, America is a bad place, minorities still are being murdered, blah blah blah. They're running a fear mongering evil white man systemic racism is out to get the black man campaign.
None of that is true, racism exists, but it's not the number one cause of minorities problems, more and more black folks including celebrities are seeing that the message is BS.
The democrats are also putting way too much time into social boutique issues that really doesn't' matter that much at the end of the day. Most people care about the so call kitchen table issues.
Most people aren't concerned really all that much about all of the SJW woke stuff that seems to go along with the far left lean of many in the party. Don't get me wrong, people should be included and we all need to live in a society where we all can get along, it's just the Dems are just losing sight of the core things and again, too much on things that really make the average voters lives any better.
So sayeth The Babylon Bee, self-described as "the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims." I think we need a second opinion from The Onion.
It's kinda scary how some people are quick to take satire sites as real.

So, Trump certainly isn't helping the American working class when he says boycott Goodyear tires. If you listen to Trump and buy Made In China tires, you and him are only helping Chinese working people.

The economic elite are backing the Dems in 2020, just as they did Obama in 2008 and 2012, and Hillary in 2016.
