Fuck the braindead notion that we can say "Fuck the white working class."

22. This is not an either/or question. What don't you understand?

As I said in my OP, of course the Democratic Party stands for combating bigotry in all its forms. It is completely Democratic to fight for social justice AND economic justice EVERYWHERE.

But even with full social justice, it doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't make a living, and people of color face the brutal economic inequality as well as every day. There must also be economic justice for EVERYONE. They are not mutually exclusive.

Try walking in the shoes of rural folks (and they aren't all just white by the way) whose jobs have left, whose kids don't stay there when grow up, whose storefronts are being boarded up by the day, who feel they have no economic future.

Try walking in those shoes.

And economic despair ALSO an urban problem.

We lost the election, MAINLY (not entirely) because rural working class folks have left us, and THEY are NOT all racists and sexists. They are majority good people who are in economic despair and we need to speak to them TOO. The party of EVERYONE needs to be the party of EVERYONE.
