The average voter is living paycheck to paycheck, just trying to make ends meet. They see executives making billions while the US government is spending trillions on military equipment, and meanwhile, they're seeing the prices of basic necessities skyrocket and they're just trying to figure out how to live.

This person may vote for Trump, or just sit out the election because they don't think either candidate cares about them. It's not about whether you're progressive enough or centrist enough, it's about speaking to the biggest problem: wealth inequality.

Will the Democrats figure this out? I guess we'll see in 3 years.

Given that the only person I've seen blaming anyone but the voters has been Bernie, I doubt it.
