One Simple Question for Democrats, by Ruy Teixeira

[somsai]

Democrats are roaming in the political wilderness and seem bewildered on how to find their way out. More resistance? More moderation? More lawfare? More denunciations of fascism/authoritarianism/lawlessness? Look for ways to compromise? Don’t look for ways to compromise? Shut down the government? Don’t shut down the government? Better messaging of Democratic positions? Actually change Democratic positions? It’s all so confusing!

It needn’t be. There’s one simple question—a sort of test—that would illuminate the path forward for Democrats.

What would the working class say

Insightful ideas about what we need to do to start winning back some elections, especially in regards to the working class.
The maps of where we win and where we don't, match with uncanny accuracy where more voters have a degree, and where they don't.

Also it's worth taking a look at that crazy graphic with blue and red arrows zig zagging around. One axis shows income, the other shows education. We are now at about the same place Republicans were at when they ran Bob Dole for the presidency, if anyone can remember back that far, I was much much too young The Republicans are now in a place not too far away from where Bill Clinton was at that time. You can see little loop de loos from G W Bush, and then Obama, our last working class win, then a fast get away towards elitism.
