'poorsplaining'

99. b/c inciting racial animus is so much more rational

than having an honest discussion about the aggregate effects of decades of neoliberal betrayals and the entrenched systems that keeps these measures in place.

i find it sad that so many Ds are comfortable scapegoating white working class americans with this race-baiting horse shit. this rhetoric is no different than Trump's, it's just serving a different Master.

There are things we can change as members of a party, and some we can't. This messaging that DWS and the DNC has embraced about the "un-educated" whites in "flyover states" is abhorrent, but what's really awful about it is that it masks what people can actually DO to change things.

you want to bellyache about "uneducated" whites? let's not make going to college an ordeal that you have become a sharecropper to CitiBank for, for the rest of your life. Kids who forego college are making the rational decision that they can't afford it, and can't mortgage their future. this situation came about as a matter of policy, and it will be changed as a matter of policy. it's not racism, and it's a lazy, sloppy, dangerous lie to make it about that.
