[quote=Anonymous]I agree with many of the PPs that it was a compelling personal story, but to the extent it was intended to be some kind of commentary on policy or politics, I didn't get that. There are so many missing dots between the culture he describes and any kind of conclusion about what should be done about it, or why the white working poor voted for Trump (to the extent that is the point). I don't necessarily blame Vance, he just wrote his memoir, but the problem is the book is being inaccurately framed as "must read to understand the election." [/quote]
