If the Democratic Party decides to ignore the concerns of minority voters to get white 'Rust Belt'

231. What is meant by getting "white 'Rust Belt' voters"?

I suppose that it may be helpful to define what is meant by getting "white 'Rust Belt' voters," and what would be entailed by attempting to do such. If this means not formulating and advocating for a policy agenda that addresses employment, housing, and criminal justice discrimination against various groups, then I would oppose getting "white 'Rust Belt' voters."

I think that the Democratic Party can adopt and campaign for a policy agenda that addresses employment, housing, and criminal justice discrimination against various groups, increases the rights of employees in the workplace (including the right to collectively bargain), and changes the terms of foreign trade relations and domestic investment. While I imagine that there would be significant disagreement regarding what such a policy program should look like, I see no reason why all of those areas cannot be addressed in a comprehensive program.
