We gotta debunk or at the very least, be skeptical of the conventional "wisdom."

Those with less education elected a man whom they can defeat in a game of Scrabble. No wonder they are ecstatic.

...and to make all workers both more likely to vote Democratic, and more likely to vote, period - especially working class white men in the private sector, whom have trended sharply Republican over the last few decades - cannot be overstated.

Organized labor is critical to both the ability and willingness of Democrats to staunchly support and successfully advance a political program that would make the lives of working people, and people other than the wealthy and well-connected in general, better and richer and more hopeful overall.

Is fucking ignorant and a goddamned bigot. Period.

People keep trying to blame it on poor people, but even those of us who get educated find it hard to escape poverty. Very few poor whites voted for Trump, and the smearing of poor people as dumb hicks who vote against our own interests make people think that both parties don't care about us. So then people tune out and stay home.

I know of poor people of all races that spent election day getting high and trying not to think about politics. They don't like Trump any more than the rest of us. These are the people we have to reach, and the people liberals keep calling racists, stupid, hicks, etc.

He was full of shit, as usual. The dudes voted the way they did because of outright bigotry.

... didn't have a bachelor's degree (unlike me working under them).

One thing they all seemed to have in common was a total lack of guilt about their higher pay for mostly sitting on their butts in air conditioned offices as they supposedly made "important decisions."

They were all corporations. I'd like to think if they were privately owned, then maybe the owner(s) would actually see how their money was being wasted on those people.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that they were overwhelmingly Republican too.
