"Elizabeth Warren says Obama doesn't understand 'lived experience of most Americans.'"

[JHan]

177. yes millions of americans left behind, including those who did not vote for Trump.

Clinton won voters making under 50k a year.

Trump's appeal crossed gender and class lines among a certain demographic. And the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, which doesn't garner much interest, also played a part.

No matter how you spin it her message is this: Obama and D.C focused so much on GDP and other trends, they didn't pay enough attention to the experiences of real Americans. I would say that the ridiculous partisan politics in Washington, and she is a Senator so she knows this, bears the lion share of blame. The actions of the Republicans today should leave no sensible person confused about who the real enemy here is....

And btw, I say this as someone who LIKES Elizabeth.

The only way you "change" anything is to vote enough people into office who will do the changing. The only kind of change that will partly fix this problem is recognition and acceptance that we're going through an economic transformation that has been evident since the early 00's, Obama laid this out in his farewell address speech succinctly, and that we must find solutions to ensure the transformation doesn't wreck the lives of Americans.
