I think I have a good understanding of why Hillary lost, but what I still don't get

7. This kind of attitude is exactly WHY Dems lost...

The reason white working class voters went with Trump is because they are sick and tired of the following things:

1. Having their very REAL job and economy concerns ignored for decades in favor of focusing only on issues related to minorities or legalizing weed. They are sick of Democrats never focusing on issues that also matter to and impact EVERYONE. These people usually support minority issues too, but are fed up with their concerns never mattering and being accused or being racists/bigots or being shamed and made to feel guilty about wanting their concerns cared about too.

2. Lack of respect and being talked down to or treated like they are stupid by some Democrats. (This is what is meant by the elitism complaint.)

I see it happening here. I'm a swing voting Independent and reading some of this stuff pisses me off so deeply. Until Democrats smarten the fuck up and actually LISTEN instead of assuming they know it all they will keep on losing. There is absolutely NO reason why Democrats can't care about the economic hardships and struggle of ALL of the working class just as much as they care about issues that impact minority groups. If Dems are honestly incapable of doing BOTH then they don't deserve to win.
