I mean, they have better economic policies but only because Trump's economic policies would actively make things worse.
The problem is that their economic policies are neither non-existent or complicated incrementalist means-tested shit (tax breaks for minority middle-class, small business owners with two kids and a successful business in an undeserved neighborhood for 3 years; or debt relief for students in a private college that had lost accreditation and had a Pell grant or in a public service job or non-profit for ten years, etc). Turns out having better than a negative economic policy can only get you so far.
You could try winning their votes with better economic policies or be
"I choose Hitler"
"What, like not even a little conside-"
"I SAID I CHOOSE HITLER"
