Heartland Democrat to Washington: You are Killing Us

[Irish Exit]

Well worth the read IMO as this is what I have been discussing here and how I get attacked by the real left here as a trumpster/trumpkin or whatever nonsense phrase they think makes them as cute as a 13 year old mean girl. Most of the south is violet but the democrats have surrendered the south because they simply do not want any voice other than San Fransisco liberals in their party. It is also why I say the democrats are systematically trying to disenfranchise rural voters. They don't want rural people to have a voice in politics or their party.

"The facts are harsh. “The number of Democrats holding office across the nation is at its lowest point since the 1920s and the decline has been especially severe in rural America,” Bustos writes in the report."

.....

"From the Appalachian regions of Ohio to the Iron Range of Minnesota and the northern reaches of Michigan and Wisconsin, across Iowa and Missouri and through the southern swaths of Indiana and Illinois—areas in which Bill Clinton triumphed and Hillary Clinton tanked—the quotes from the 72 rural Democrats Johnson interviewed read like a pent-up primal scream. And Terry Goodin’s comments pop out in particular. In the report, he says the Democratic Party is “lazy,” “out of touch with mainstream America,” relying on “too much identity politics” where “winners and losers are picked by their labels.” The Democrats in his district, he laments, “feel abandoned.”'

I don't support either side of the corporate hegemony, so in a sense you are correct.

So? One wall street corporation loses power and another one steps into to take its place. That is the beauty of hegemony.

I don't think the Dems are prepared to become racists and adopt the alt right. If that makes them out of touch, then they will remain so.If the Dems are not for accelerating the plutocracy and putting unqualified right wing owned judges across the nation, I can live with that too. The tax bill is an enormous giveaway to those on top. It helped the plutocracy out immeasurably. Dems were against it. Go figure.

Rural voters aren't all racist. That you think so seems to be just a small part of the bigger problem the DNC is facing.

Don't say all or none. That is what Trump does. it not only makes statements flat out wrong, but the speaker looks childish and immature. The rural voters are not seen as one huge block by the left or right.

What was given to people at the top?

so you think the fly over states reject demmycrats because of racism?......

but you never cared that the republican party cheats its ass off?


why do you think they call these places rural?

because its a bunch if land and a FEW people


why don't you care about the populated areas where republicans CHEAT voters out of their rights?

Most of the minority-majority areas in this country are in red states. Are you alleging blacks and hispanics are racist against themselves? It sure sounds like it.

As for the GOP, that is not who I was discussing, just as I was not discussing the Labour Party, Sinn Féin, Likud, or the litany of other political parties in the world. I was discussing the DNC and the issues they face connecting with voters in many of these areas, especially rural ones. The DNC killing tobacco hurt them in tobacco areas. The DNC killing textiles etc, hurt them in areas rich in manufacturing. Hillary promising to kill coal hurt them in Appalachia. When many communities see the DNC as taking things away from them, and not giving them things, it hurts the DNC candidates.

 

[Nordberg]

A mere 70 percent of the Trumpy tax cut. You did not know that?

 

[Minister of Truth]

So, people at the top get to keep more of their own money, and that irks you, because you think it actually belongs to you.

You'll just remain bigots, liars and hypocrites.

Actually the reason the south is Republican is because the Republicans decided to do the racist schtick
