What percentage of our resources should we dedicate to reaching medium to low income white males?

I've heard some good arguments from both sides on this; and of course a lot of riled up sentiments. I should say that for the purposes of this poll assume it's a zero sum game - if we invest 95% of our outreach towards one community that leaves only 5% to invest in another community.

In reality though we should do both; outreach but also increasing the size of the pie by GOTV drives and the like.

Low income, white Trump voters need to understand that they have been hoodwinked, and they are much more likely to prosper with the Democratic Party.
