In reply to the discussion: How Does the Democratic Party Get Back Middle to Lower Class Whites? [View all]bluestate10
(10,942 posts)The problem with that group is that as a group, working class white men have barriers that make them difficult to bring over to work with us. The majority of that group work hard and are responsible. The problem is that they have been led to believe that no one else works hard. They don't like people that are better educated and better off, but for some treason they turn their anger against people that are struggling.
What we should continue to do is attract educated Whites, male and female, that group will make up the largest amount of democratic party support for a long time. Our party should attract Asians, an up and coming highly educated group that in addition, has many economic strata that range from rich to poor. Our party should attract Hispanics, a diverse group that range from wealthy people to working people. Our party should attract Blacks, also a diverse group of many economic strata that range from rich to poor. By expanding that coalition, we will continue to win elections and make america a more inclusive, even more prosperous country.
