Why would they vote for Trump?
In March of 2016, Hillary Clinton said in a CNN town hall: "We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business."
This is exactly the outcome Democrats proposed, regardless of Trump being powerless to make good on his fraudulent promises of "bringing back coal". Hope for a better future inspires people a hell of a lot more than telling them to eat dirt. More than your messages of hatred for them. When I tell you to do better, it has NOTHING to do with appeasing Trump or Trump policies. It has everything to do with working class Americans and your utter failure to connect with them and to TELL them that you are there FOR them. To help them.
Clinton was at least smart enough to realize, post election, that it was a huge moment, her "greatest campaign misstep".
Would that you could listen to voices of reason. And at least attempt to win an election rather than beat down these workers with further scorn and malice. The comments in this thread are not ones for a civil discourse. But something that beggars any hope of restitution with those who feel abandoned. Mine is an aim to reach out and offer them a path forward with Democrats. To show them OUR hope for a better future. If only you had any.
