Re: "the Dems are finding themselves paying the price for not bothering to listen to the people.
So are the media! When Trump was elected in 2016, I was as shocked as anyone and hoped the media would take a hard look at themselves and conclude, “Wow, we have to do a better job getting in touch with the average American.” Instead, they only looked outward and said, “Wow, we have to do a better job getting the average American in touch with US.” So, they became advocates instead of journalists, and now have one of the lowest credibility ratings in the developed world. When the media chose to abandon its role as the Fourth Estate, they did more to undermine our democracy than either party.
Perhaps the media felt just like Hillary. The average American that they are out of touch with is deemed a "deplorable", and therefore there is no point in even talking with them.
