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

36. Let me tell you why you are SO wrong:

Bill Clinton won MANY of these people you are stereotyping.

So did Obama. Not all of them, but a hell of a lot more than who voted for us this time. In my rural congressional district, Obama won by 9% in 2012. Clinton LOST this year by 10%. People are MAD, want CHANGE, and we didn't offer it at least in a clear enough way.

So you are just going to write off MILLIONS of voters who are in economic despair? RIDICULOUS!

I am middle aged, come from the working class, and know exactly how they think. I know that rabid right wing racists in rural America will never vote for Democrats and I am not talking about them. But there are plenty who are still registered Democrats or Independents who WILL listen to and respond to a strong, populist economic message. Bernie Sanders proved it in many places.

Others have proved it. In my state this cycle we now have two Democratic state senators who just won in one of our most rural counties because they spoke strongly to economic issues, respected the local culture, and SAID so. The people voted for them but also voted for Trump and the Republican running for Congress.

Now who is naive? Take a very, very long look in the mirror because your way of thinking is why we LOSE! Wake up!
