If the Democratic Party went Populist would Centrists Flee?

96. Does this sound like a winning strategy to you?

Why exactly would we expect the white working class to vote for us, if our attitude is 'sit down, other people have bigger problems'?

This isn't an 'A or B' thing, there is absolutely NOTHING stopping us from making sure the issues of both are dealt with, but for some bizarre and mindboggling reason that I just can't wrap my head around, any mention of white working class problems are met here with these endless shouts of 'privilege!' and the implication that they don't really need or deserve help, or at least not as any matter of importance.

The very same 'populists' who get endlessly attacked here were the ones fighting for issues like LGBT and minority rights long before the party as a whole was even remotely interested, so don't try and brand us as bigots because we want to help everybody who is vulnerable regardless of their color, gender or sexuality. And yes, that includes white males.
