The emphasis on voter demographics' political preferences undermines the Democrats' failure and the Republicans' success. What did Democrats fail to deliver that encouraged voters to change their minds within four years, or did Republicans offer something better?

An evaluation of the Democrats' socioeconomic policies' impact on various income classes, especially the working poor who were told the economy was great, and what Trump represents might provide some insight.

I don't blame anyone but Democrats for failing to beat Trump, even if people voted for him to spite Democrats. They should have clearly defined the housing and living cost crisis as their campaign message instead of throwing concerts in impoverished cities and showcasing billionaires like Mark Cuban.

Trump acknowledged people's anguish, and although he won't improve livelihoods, he minimized financial shame by addressing it, which is better than being told the economy is great, so it's your fault you're poor.

The two-party system doesn't allow much change, and people are desperate. Perhaps electing the Democrats would have concealed the majority's suffering, prohibiting any discussions or policies to address the nation's poverty crisis.
