TIME: Meet the rust belt voters who voted for Trump

55. fair enough

We desperately need a non-partisan movement in this country. Van Jones is onto something with his MessyTruth but it will always be viewed as partisan since he is a democrat. We need a new non-partisan media network with focus on fact-checking and ordinary people like the ones profiled in the article. Both prties have been focusing hard on pushing out moderates over the years so we are now a hyperpolarized, post-truth society. If we continue with Pelosi, Ellis, name-calling, etc., we are going to see collosal losses in the midterms. Please ask yourself, how exactly does a San Francisco democrat, Nancy Pelosi, connect to critical voters in rust belt states?? Democrats need to start being strategic and stop being idealistic. I know the truth is hard to swallow sometimes, but America is worth sacrifice, so the focus should be on long-term, two step back is better than 10.
