    If it’s that important maybe the democrats should start appealing their target group instead of trying to get Republicans to vote for them (which didn’t really work anyways)

      It’s possible that there is a way to win them over, but it’s not by getting up on stage with Liz Cheney. The idea of “the elites are working against us” does resonate with certain Republican voters, even if their anger is being misdirected in support of Donald Trump. It’s not something the Hillary Clinton wing of the party could possibly harness. People like Bernie or AOC could, though.

      Here’s Bernie demonstrating it: https://youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc

        I’ve seen that video before. It’s a good one that, to me from far away, shows how the more progressive side of the democratic party should very much resonate with poorer, currently republican voters if they just leaned into that messaging more.

        The message at it’s core is so simple: The country is rich, you’re poor, fuck that shit.
