I am not sure how you connect the common classes' needs to the dissociated rich congress people. Most have no idea how most of us live and struggle just to make ends meet.
While this panel mentioned that ppl didn’t frame their opinions as left/right or Republican/Democrat in the focus groups (or at least didn’t admit to it) most of the negative perspective of Democrats and the strong man support for Trump and Republicans ARE right wing talking points. I hope you’re taking that into account in your data analysis. I frankly don’t understand how you’re simply taking what the focus group participants say at face value?
This still reads as a “Democrats have a messaging problem” while ignoring that 92% of Black women understood the messaging just fine. Are ppl just mad that Black voters are called the “base of the Democratic Party” without knowing why they’re called that? You 3 probably know but I’ll state it here just the same. It’s because Black voters CONSISTENTLY vote Democratic in high 80’s percentages. They are not the largest coalition of voters but they are the most consistent.
It seems to me you’re looking at why the other coalitions, especially white voters who are the largest coalition, do not RELIABLY vote for Democrats. In order to find the answer you’re going to need to be more honest about what’s happening without relying on the inauthentic “working class” label.
Have you asked yourselves why Black voters heard the message just fine but somehow white voters don’t have their listening ears on?
I have not been able to reach Mitch or the Democrats. Stephen Miran, the chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, sounded an upbeat note about today’s jobs data, which showed that U.S. employers added 177,000 jobs in April and that the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent. Look, Stephen. The jobs report is jobs added through April 12. The April 2 Liberation Day tariff war was just starting.stopping.starting.stopping.something. Give me a break.
Trump will add $720 billion to the annual budget first, and then say he wants to cut $163 billion (that won’t fly). That add that I see is before the new tax cut happens. The $720 billion added includes the expiring TCJA, the 2017 old tax cut. Speaker Johnson does not want you to see him hiding that renewal. Look at the real numbers and the source data.

I believe that the sooner the party begins its messaging, the better. And, it should be consistent and cohesive, up until the mid-term elections.
I think a lot of things will come to a head in June. It's my opinion that folks should focus on those things in the aggregate.

Thanks for your comment. We hope you keep following along to learn more as we’re listening to working class voters to help inform future policies.
