So many don't think the system will work for them and do not participate. There are far too many people that do not vote. Nearly 90 million people did not vote in 24. Democrats will need to be bold to get them to turn out. None of this middle of the road nonsense to appease republicans that detest trump or center right democrats. Start now. Don't wait until election cycle. Stop trying to reach trump voters. The working class is not just white men.
