<$50K = Hillary wins

Among those worried about economic justice = Hillary wins

THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE VOTERS that so many Hillary supporters want to paint as racists/misogynists/xenophobes/Islamo-phobes/homophobes who abandoned Hillary actually voted for her more often than Trump and in a percentage similar to Obama's. In other words, not only did Hillary's message get through to Bernie voters, they answered the call.

The voters who DIDN'T come through were those white suburbanites that the DLC/Third Way has been pandering to for decades, the REAL racists/misogynists/xenophobes/Islamo-phobes/homophobes. They have screwed us over and over again and they did it again this year.
