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

[mythology]

48. You do realize that the white working class aren't the ones paying women less right?

It's hard to say that a white guy making $20,000 a year is privileged just because he's white and male when it doesn't necessarily reflect his life. Yes a black guy or a woman etc, making $20,000 has more problems, it's stupid to tell the guy who can't pay his mortgage that he's so much better off that he owes you. Because when he's worried about paying his mortgage or a medical bill or college for his kids, it isn't exactly inclusive to tell him that he's what's wrong with the world.

It's smarter to find a way to reach out to him and say "hey, we agree on X, Y, Z, here's the Democratic plan to address your concern about your economic future". Telling him he's a nazi, or personally oppressing you (without any actual specific action by that person), is just going to make them go to the Republican side. And as we just saw, that doesn't work out well for us.

Clinton ran ad after ad lambasting Trump, but at least in Massachusetts (getting the New Hampshire market), I saw very few ads about why to vote for her. Obama was great about that, about saying this is my vision for America and what I plan to do to get there.
