You can't just blame Trump voters...Democrats need to rethink what they stand for and why they failed in this election.
Going back to the time of Bill Clinton they basically made a deal where they coopted right-leaning economic policies along with social liberalism. That approach worked in terms of gaining corporate support for the Democratic party but it has obviously failed to deliver for the middle class especially post 2008.
It was weird to watch Bloomberg news the other day discussing the election, the commentators were obviously all Clinton people. So Democrats managed to assimilate Wall Street bankers into their coalition but completely lost the working class.
If people don't see any upside in terms of policies that will materially help them, they will vote for the far right as has been proven many times in different countries.
