Working Poor

(5,621 posts)it seems that they still don't get it.
Did they not hear of Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton who pulled the rug out from under the working poor. They even gave him another chance and elected him again, and he did more damage.
Apparently they still do not believe that the Democratic Party decides who runs and gets elected. There have been only a few outliers that have made it past the DNC guards, who fight for the people. And, even some of these people have been corrupted once they smell the big bucks to be made in higher positions in government.
Blaming white males is such a dodge, since they are the only group that you can bash and get away with it. Your condescension toward the poor is all there to see. If only they had voted? They have voted for decades and it's gotten worse. Their choices, evil and less evil. And if all goes to Party plan, that will again be the same choice.
And, let's talk voting. How many people have lost their right to vote because they don't have a permanent address? How many are so overwhelmed by just surviving that voting is the last thing on their mind. How many people have given up voting because no matter how or who they vote for, it never matters. The average person on the street cares about having a roof over their head and food to eat, not who sits on the Supreme Court. Does that shock you? If you were poor and understood what it's really like, you wouldn't be surprised at all, and you wouldn't even consider the lesser of two evils.
