who cares? As we have seen this election, small wins in a lot of states matter more than big wins in a few. Ohio is no longer a swing state. It's full of WWT. Don't care.
Yes let's just ignore those voters and double down on identity politics.
Seriously, this attitude needs to go away.
No it doesn't. Clinton should have focused on Georgia and Arizona this election, and ignored Ohio, which was not as close. You cannot please everyone. You need to make tough choices. Ohio is absolutely the wrong decision. Too much WWT.
By appealing to white working class voters, Democrats would not only contest Ohio but also contest Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota. These states are much more winnable for Democrats than Georgia and Arizona. Hillary Clinton spent a good amount of money in Arizona and tried to appeal to voters in the Atlanta suburbs while she essentially ignored Michigan and Wisconsin. She lost both Michigan and Wisconsin by less than a percentage point while Trump won Arizona and Georgia by 4 or 5 points each. It boggles me why some think that she should have doubled down on this strategy. College educated voters are much less swingy than working class voters.
