Can Democrats Win Back the White Working Class?

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE​

— One of the defining features of American politics is the realignment of white, college-educated voters toward Democrats and that of white voters without a degree toward Republicans.

— There are competing views on how or whether Democrats can perform better among white non-college voters.

— Appealing to the economic interests of white non-college voters may not be enough for Democrats to win back their support.

What is driving the realignment among white voters​

No, because the Democrats hate them. You're not going to win votes hating people.
 
It's not about issues and policies. It's about the huge power of the right-wing propaganda machine manipulating public opinion. It appears a majority of the country can be fooled into supporting the well-funded side of the propaganda machine sometimes. So far a third of the country all the time, and a majority sometimes, at least a majority after the Republican vote-theft measures are taken into account.

Democrats are wasting their time thinking the voters are basing votes on policy and messaging outside the propaganda bubble. What Democrats can do is try to 'get out the vote' of the voters who support them to get around the Republican cult.
No its about issues.
