If you support Hillary and still think the WWC can piss off...

7. I don't know exactly how many WWC people voted for Clinton but it was a lot.

And she won among the working class overall. A segment of *white* working class voters have different priorities than the working class as a whole, and we know why.

A white backlash has been building for 8 years, including some who voted for Obama.

I'd rather the Democratic Party focus on fighting voter suppression and gerrymandering, while also attempting to engage the disengaged (the 40% or so that doesn't typically vote in presidential elections and the 60% or so that doesn't vote in mid-term elections). Democrats also need to promote media literacy and critical thinking in schools, while drawing attention to the GOP's complicity in millions subscribing to patently false beliefs.

But I will say more outreach to rural areas of purple states (where there are Democrats, not all of whom are white), without needing to change the message, is something the 2020 candidate needs to do. As Obama said, you have to try to minimize the losses in those areas in order to carry the state. And some people simply won't vote absent a GOTV effort aimed at them. Again, suggesting more outreach to rural Democrats in purple states is not the same as suggesting a change in message.
