(3,251 posts)You have no clue about why I feel the way I do, but I likely am quite a bit older than you. I am right and you are wrong because you have NO idea why these people keep fucking up with their votes election after election, year after year. You seem to think that pushing demagoguery about trade and "jobs" and oh, yes, the minorities and women, is such a winner in elections. These morons who voted for Trump keep screwing up all the time. I have had it with them.
Democrats have won elections over and over and didn't need to pander to these white male assholes.
We haven't had these fuckers for fifty years, since Nixon. You want to rewrite history and say they are part of the Democratic Party base. They aren't, and they haven't been because Nixon played the race card on these idiot dudes in order to get their votes.
The time for these stupid white dudes to have protested was in the 1980s, when Reagan went full force against unions, went for outsourcing and hollowing out the economy, for gutting pensions, for putting in ruinous trade agreements, for peddling crackpot Milton Friedman economics. Instead, these shitheads voted for Reagan and other GOP types. This is a FACT that you want to ignore. Where were YOU, if you were even around then? If you were, you wouldn't make such an uninformed statement as you just did, and trash a woman candidate because of some nonsense about "identity politics."
I am done with these white dude fuckers. They can be homeless for all I care. You cannot reach them because these guys will NOT LISTEN.
Your post is just babbling Berniespeak. Bernie was a LOSER who would have been slaughtered by Bloomberg and Trump if he had had the nomination.
And speaking of Sanders, where was HE in the 1980s? Giving interviews on video blathering about how great Fidel Castro and Cuba were in the middle of the Cold War. And people like you think he would have won the election.
