The Dem leadership is pretty much all from big cities that are too expensive for most of the middle class.

Both parties ignored these people for 30 years and many switched from D to R and chose Trump because he at least acknowledges their existence and has plans in trade and immigration to try to save their jobs.

Saw an article on the Democratic convention talking about how they didn't talk about jobs for these people. An anonymous adviser said they weren't a part of the "modern" Democratic coalition. They're written them off.
Oh really? What is Trump and the Republicans doing for these blue collar workers?

He's hostile to unions (which significantly enhance paychecks and benefits).

He's tried to gut health care.

He's only paid lip service to companies to keep jobs in the USA (while companies like Carrier continue to move their plants offshore).

He certainly doesn't care about workplace protections - trying to let off employers liability during COVID19 and pressuring companies and workers to return to the workplace before safety precautions are in place.

His hamfisted actions on trade have backfired on farm sectors like wheat, soybeans and pork exports.

Yeah, with friends like Trump, who needs enemies.

Hillary wasn't a liked candidate and a number of voters were Bernie or bust not thinking Trump will win.

Thank god for that! Now just take Trump's policies and mix it with Tucker Carlson's and we have an unbeatable force for decades to come!
And then came November 3rd, that's why I don't like bragging and boasting.

The Democrats are making this easy for us. People are waking up and realizing the Democratic Dream if you will is not something that we want to endorse in any way shape or form!!!!!!!!!! Politicians are just following suit and serving their constituents. The platform and mission statement follow organically.
oh yeah, so easy that they are trying to steal the election in the courts.

No no no , that' s what you want to believe, because that's what Trump wants his supporters to believe. But nearly 80 million people believe otherwise. If it was a razor thin election and one state at question, then you might have something, but the margins are way too large and too many states.

No, it's the TRUTH and it's the FACTS. You just don't want to believe it's possible because 1. You wanted Biden to win or you voted for him or 2. You hate Trump and want him gone, there is NEVER any logic or common sense with a leftist's argument just emotion.

I wanted Trump gone more than anything, it just happened to be Biden who did it. I don't hate Trump, I hate his ways and the things he say, I like to use the word dislike instead. It's no different than the people who voted for Trump, just because they hated Hillary.
