Please stop with this b***shit that the Democrats are out of touch with the voting population

Trump lost the popular vote.
During an election with record-low voter-participation.
An election where some people voted for him not because they support his ideas, but simply because they "want to watch the world burn".

Trump's victory is no indicator whatsoever that his ideas are more popular than democratic ideas.

So, the Democrats are supposed to be the ones out of touch?

* Some Trump-voters are all surprised that the GOP wants to destroy Medicare despite promising to do so for years. But it's the Democrats who are out of touch.

* Some Trump-voters think that letting billionaires run the show is the right way to drain the swamp. But it's the Democrats who are out of touch.

* Some Trump-voters believe that Trump can bring back an economy where coal is in demand and coal-jobs are coming back. An economy driven by the honored and valued work of ordinary people, not by cost-cutting and obscene profits for Trump and his billionaire-buddies. But it's the Democrats who are out of touch.

If the Democrats are the ones "out of touch" with what the people want, what is this thing the people want and that the Democrats failed to offer?

What did Trump promise the ordinary working-class people that the Democrats should have promised?

Should the Democrats have stayed in touch with working-class people by making the fantastical and nonsensical promises these people obviously wanted to hear?
