Democrats hone a new message

The Left are now strangers in their own land: How Trump redeemed alienated conservatives and cast liberals into the political wilderness. Trump is a great storyteller — we need to be better. “You people think you’re better than us”: It’s easy to see how the sense that liberals look down on regular folks might arise, and be fanned by right-wing media — the question is, what do you do? Democrats hone a new message: It’s the economy, everyone. The way forward for Democrats is to address both class and race. Don't stop arguing, complaining and fighting for “identity politics”. Standing with the victims of Trumpism might make it harder to build a majority against him — it’s worth it.
