Trump won over the blue collar families despite hurting them far more than the Democratic Party.
The issues are a lot more complicated than policy. Kamala's policies would have helped blue-collar families far more than Trump's policies, but those same blue-collar families weren't motivated by policy.
Those who felt the party "walked away" are feeling walked away from for many reasons. I think they feel "walked away" from because they see a world that is changing, and it scares them. Trump was able to pick up on that and basically promise them a world that no longer exists. He also gave them someone else to blame.
Unless we have a candidate who can get the message across, it won't matter what the Democratic Party's policies are.
