You are talking about 50% of the country and when you turn your back on some of them, their message to the rest of them increases. You give them the talking point that the democratic party does not care about them.

It is our job to convince them that we have something to offer them. Denigrating and writing iff voters is the trump way. And it is beyond stupid.
