No this has been democratic platform for awhile.
Democrats are the party for labor.
incorrect, a big part of the reason Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin is because the labors are no longer voting for the DNC at anywhere near the same numbers they used to.
there was a time when the United Auto Workers union in both states had a 75%+ rate of DNC voters. its now below 50%, and falling from what my UAW buddies tell me. most of them are 2nd or 3rd generation and their parents and grand parents are shocked its happening. it used to be as solid of a voting bloc as inner city blacks, no exaggeration.
you statement in 1992 or something would have been solid, but its one of those things dems repeat thats no longer anywhere near true.

The issue is that manufacturing isn't coming back. Cause even if companies were somehow forced to not outsource labor, they will just push more of their profits into automation and automate more jobs away even faster than they already are.
The real issue is that we have a population not educated and trained for the world that changed and the young generation are being failed. Combined with a government and culture of society that isn't going to adapt to the future. Since we keep nominating dinosaurs to be president and most of the incumbents who end up writing legislation are dinosaurs as well.
