re: #266 Blind Frog Belly White

Specifically, [Democrats] don’t have a satisfactory policy answer to growing wage inequality and the disappearance of well-paid jobs for blue collar workers, especially in the Rust Belt.

To be fair, neither did Trump. His “policies” boil down to unicorn farts and promises to turn back the hands of time, which he can’t do, and was never really going to try to do. But he offered a scapegoat - ChYna and Mexico - and promised a trade war and a wall as the prescription. Simple solutions aimed at the wrong target in a complex situation.

People will take simple, aspirational solutions over complex, reality-based ones almost any day…
