“ You have to meet the voters where they are. That’s reality.”

Rarely do the democrats meet voters “where they are” because they can’t effing find them. I think the Democratic Party lost connection to voters forty years ago when the working class and unions were abandoned to the whims of globalization and the free rein of finance capitalism. The part elite move in entirely different milieu than the voters they need to win.

Frankly, the Democratic Party is no longer a working class party and its governing elite is too fearful of looking for that base. This is why the timid electocrats keep searching for that moderate avatar that can attract enough disaffected middle class republican voters to win on the right.

What are you winning for working class voters when an inoffensive, milk toast third way candidate wins? Not Trump is not enough.
