We warned the Democratic party that disaster was coming. They didn’t listen | Dustin Guastella

Can they change course? Maybe, but they need a message of commonsense solidarity without liberal elitism

Before the election it was clear that Kamala Harris’s closing message was not landing with working-class voters. The Center for Working Class Politics (CWCP) sounded the alarm that the Democrats could be heading for a disaster. And last Tuesday, disaster struck.

Harris lost badly. She resoundingly lost the electoral college (226 to 312 as of publication), and she lost the critical blue-wall states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Democrats even lost the popular vote for the first time in 20 years. In short, Harris lost the working class.
