Propane Jane has been hammering this point for the last year or so. There’s an existing coalition that elected Obama, and going after this coalition (which, coincidentally, looks like the America of the 2030s) is not a bad strategy.

Both Sanders and Trump focussed on the white working class. While this is a large segment, it’s not longer a winning strategy to lean on them alone. You HAVE to build a coalition of voters now; you might be able to cobble together a coalition that includes white working class, but you cannot rely solely on them to win national elections.
