@wdlindsy "What Black people have to say isn't really important to a lot of us"?
Trump received higher percentages of Black and Latino votes than Republicans received for many years.

@wdlindsy You're welcome! A candidate should never communicate in a way that needlessly alienates voters whose votes she could gain if she was more inclusive and less classist in her tweets. Every time that Kamala Harris said "middle class" without adding, at least, "working class" I winced. She could also have written about "the American people" but instead she wrote: "Americans deserve an economy that delivers for the middle class–not just big corporations." Guess what other voters she forgot.

@wdlindsy If there was a bad trend in the past, then Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are still to blame when month after month, year after year, their comments kiss the ass of the middle class while treating working class people as if they are too stupid to know how to read Joe and Kamala's many tributes to the middle class. Yes, that affected people's votes, and yes, politicians need to understand this and not repeat the mistakes of repeatedly disrespecting voters who are in the working class.

@Greengordon @wdlindsy NAFTA alienated working class people, even though it was good for our nation's prosperity. Pres. Clinton should have explained why it is a good thing and acted to help people who were harmed by this change. Similarly, the Trans-Pacific Partnership would have been good for our nation, but Pres. Obama was not able to convince enough people of this, and he also should have acted to help people who would have been harmed by it.

@wdlindsy The history of the 1950s and 1960s is one thing, and the decisions by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to tweet as if the working class can be safely ignored, at the same time that they were often honoring the middle class, helped convince working class people to vote against them. This was a stupid mistake that both of them repeatedly made. Politicians should learn from this mistake and not repeat it.

@wdlindsy Yes, much of the media was truly disappointing in both their coverage of this election and in some decisions not to endorse anyone. That decision cost the Washington Post more than 250,000 subscribers. The media could and should do a better job when covering the Trump Administration.

@wdlindsy The fact is that Joe Biden wrote: "I came to office determined to strengthen the middle class" while silent about the working class. Kamala Harris wrote: "Like we promised, our Administration is prioritizing the middle class" also silent about the working class. These are two of many statements they tweeted that disrespected the working class. Many working class voters paid them back on election day. I wish Kamala Harris would have been elected. Her own shortsightedness cost her votes.

From @wdlindsy: "The media have done this persistently for some years now. By trotting out their tired (and mendacious) refrain that the Democrats are out of touch with #RealAmericans."

Certainly both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were out of touch with the working class. Evidence: yesterday I posted here what they often wrote, showing respect for the middle class while treating the working class like second class citizens. Then much of the working class voted for Trump. We need to do better.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Who do you think will be the next presidential nominee from the Democratic Party?"

Dan Pfeiffer: "If you asked that question in 2004, after George W. Bush was re-elected as president, no one would have said 'Barack Obama' (the nominee and president-elect in 2008)." #politics copy: @tchambers

@KamalaHarrisWin @tchambers To cope, I am seeking and sharing the best ideas from the best people who are providing advice to people who agree with the ideals of Kamala Harris. For example, Sen. Elizabeth Warren had some good advice for us, and I already shared it here today.

@wdlindsy Among the many millions of people who were shocked by Biden's bizarre comments and dazed appearance during his debate was Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. Biden had one week of debate prep, and he made so many people who hoped for his success ashamed of him. If Biden was the candidate today, Trump would be the president next year. When Biden stepped aside, money and volunteers for Kamala Harris poured into her campaign. Now we have a good chance of winning the presidential election.

@wdlindsy Biden was not forced out of the presidential race over a single debate performance, even though it was the world's worst debate performance, where he proudly said: "We beat Medicare!" After his debate Biden continued to make mistakes, such as talking about Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump." If Biden remained a candidate, it would have ensured the re-election of Pres. Donald Trump.
