Beyond losing their shot at the White House and surrendering the House and the Senate to the Republicans, the Democrats are at their lowest levels of popularity with American voters in roughly two decades. Many voters see the Democrats as the party of wealthy progressive urban elites, not the working class, which the Democrats have marketed themselves as representing for so long. Just this past weekend, most Democratic leaders nevertheless showed they were unwilling to grapple with why they are so unpopular, electing a slate of milquetoast party insiders and leftist activists to lead the Democratic National Convention for the foreseeable future. But at least one Democrat seems to be trying to bring his party back to the drawing board. Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, posted a video on Tuesday in which he interviewed various workers left unemployed by the recent closure of Master Lock’s plant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Rather than repeating platitudes and lying to their faces, as many Democrats did in the last election cycle, Khanna seemed to admit that the Democrats need to better represent Americans in the heartland impacted by the decline of manufacturing and industry. “You know, we made a colossal mistake in this country to allow all of our industry to leave,” Khanna acknowledged to the workers.

One of the unemployed workers said that Master Lock “took my livelihood away from me.” Khanna noted how the employees once had “a decent life, a car, a house,” until they lost it all when the plant closed. Another one of the workers recounted how his daughter learned that her dad lost his job, then took chalk and wrote, “I am so sorry that your lost your job Dad” on their sidewalk. “And that made me cry,” he said. But the video got even darker. Ro Khanna @RoKhanna Chancie and Quentin's story is why we lost the election. We failed them. Their livelihood was snatched from them. We need a transformational new economic vision to earn back their trust. https://twitter.com/i/status/1886884669251006875 Poster Comment: Since the Clinton and Bush Crime Families passed NAFTA, 80 US manufacturing plants have been closed.
