Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on “bread-and-butter” concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harris’s progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sanders’ messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for “abandoning” the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.

EDIT: Downvoting it doesn’t magically pull cannabis out of Schedule I.
They literally didn’t, I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.
…I mean I know why, but its wild.
Centrists see that Trump has a cult of morons who will believe any lie they’re told, and get mad at anyone who demonstrates that they don’t have that too.
It’s why they courted Republicans, they wanted that same “they’ll do anything we say” energy.
And worse, they assumed they already had it and were fiercely hostile to anyone who pointed out that they didn’t.
