Briefly

The article discusses the challenges Democrats face in appealing to working-class voters as the Republican Party increasingly targets those demographics. It highlights a long-standing failure by Democrats to articulate a coherent economic agenda for the working class, with the party shifting its focus toward affluent elites. Historical references are made to past elections, illustrating how perceived lack of connection with ordinary Americans has consequences. The text underscores the urgency for Democrats to reclaim their working-class base amidst Republican advances on economic issues that were traditionally theirs.
