Hillary won working class voters in the 2016 primary by a comfortable margin. +28 with non-college-educated voters and +13 with voters under $50,000 in income.

The primary is not reflective of the general.
Against Trump, but I doubt that is a reliable metric to determine real support.

Trump was not a participant in the 2016 democratic primary, where HRC won by the indicated margins.
Not just the politicians. I recently overheard a conversation at the startup where I work where people were talking about the benefits of unionizing I’m front the executive team.
It was clear they wouldn’t do it and talked about it like it was a joke. Something poor people do.
Part of it is that unions badly need reforming.
The other part is that nobody cares enough to reform them.
Most folks at my company don’t care because they get paid too much to care. Not a bad reason.
Once the economy goes to crap that might change.

This country is not a hell hole? That's a tough argument to make for a lot of people!

Volunteer in Haiti for a month.
Where I live, grassroots organizers are doing all the hard work. I'm not talking about protesters. I'm talking about people who are building and connecting organically, who are facilitating workshops and popular education sessions, who are raising awareness about what's going on in local government to enable democracy to happen. Democracy doesn't function without grassroots participation. This country would be a hell hole without the hard work of local organizers everywhere.
