Yeah, I agree with Bernie that Dems should do more to support the working class, but wish he would acknowledge how much of a role racism/sexism likely played in this outcome. It seems like a pipeline of “I have no money and I’m mad” to “it’s the immigrants’s fault I’m poor and I want to punish them”

It would be interesting to see how a populist, liberal candidate would fare in an election against a Republican. There’s been such a campaign of misinformation and associating everything even mildly left of center as “communist” that many Americans might continue to vote against their best interests
