Here's what Andrew Yang had to say in an interview about the down ballot loses.
“I would say, ‘Hey! I’m running for president!’ to a truck driver, retail worker, waitress in a diner, and they would say, ‘What party?’ And I’d say ‘Democrat’ and they would flinch like I said something really negative or I had just turned another color or something like that.” Yang told CNN host Don Lemon during a panel.
“So you have to ask yourself, what has the Democratic Party been standing for in their minds?,” he continued. “And in their minds, the Democratic Party, unfortunately, has taken on this role of the coastal urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life that has been declining for years.”
https://nypost.com/2020/11/07/andrew-yang-calls-out-democrats-for-being-coastal-urban-elites/It used to be folks viewed the Democratic Party as the working man's party while the Republican's were the party of business. It seems to me the Democrats have either lost or are losing their identity as representing the working man. The democrats seems to have forgotten him. More interested in which bathroom a transgender can use, tearing down statues and changing names, supporting rioters and looters than about the working man or improving the working man's life.
Union households use to be a group where any Democratic candidate could count on 60, 65,70 support or could until 2016. Hillary 51%, Biden 56%. Democratic candidates for president were from 1976 till the present above 60% with the union household vote. Trump won the votes of those working full time, Biden those who don't.
So is Yang right?
