I'm not 100% on Hirsch's actual intent but I think it's a perfect summation of dem refusal to make any appeal to poor and working class whites. They refused to do it because of unempathetic "ugh, they're all icky" hyperpartisanship and it bit them. Hard.

How exactly does "We'll tax the rich and re-distribute that wealth, expand health care for you, and raise minimum wage so you don't have to scrape by on 3 part-time jobs with no benefits" count as "not making any appeal to poor whites"?

i think it could be argued that if bernie was the nominee he wouldn't have done as well with non-whites but apparently that didn't matter this election

i mean, maybe? because on the one hand who would non-whites have voted for? Trump? Or a third party I guess? Or just stayed home? Then again, apparently Trump BEAT Romney's vote margin among Hispanics so up is down and left is right and I don't loving know anymore

The (center-)left still has no coherent answer to the economic anxieties of those affected by the decline of the manufacturing sector and other sectors affected by free trade and globalization in the first world. So the populist answer of "the foreigners took your jobs" is the best they are offered. And that's how you end up with Trump, UKIP, FN, Fidesz, AfD...

I don't see anything in there about loving over minorities. In fact some of that seems like it might help minorities as well.

It runs contrary to the "Hillary has no policies" narrative that I made up after zoning out during every single one of Hillary's speeches.

I would argue that "the end" is in play. We will anger another country very early in this presidency. Thanks to previous conservative rulers, many people want the USA to be shattered.

Agreed. This is the man who asked 3 times during foreign policy briefings why we don't just use nuclear weapons. I'm honestly a bit scared he'll start a way because another country's leader snubs him or insults him.

Hell, he said that we should have fired upon Iranian ships that had sailors jeering at the Navy boats at sea. Not attacking physically just basically giving us the finger.

Maybe they will actually come up with something?

To be honest the only real solution is to tax rich people and give it to them or build poo poo in their area.

This is pretty accurate for most of the democratic platform. They need to focus on simple, clear policies that anyone can understand, as opposed to 1,000+ page dissertations on every possible topic
