You do realize that minus that fascism nonsense you started your reply with-- those same criticisms can be levied against the black community when we vote Democrat. I don't even need to delve in to the minutiae of what you wrote. What you just described is a mirror of OUR experiences dealing with politicians.

You make a good point but objectively the DNC has far more progressive policies that are favorable for workers. There is really no reason any working class persoj should vote GOP IMO

I feel like in a normal country we wouldn't even be having this problem because we would have various parties that catered to different needs of the populace.Normally you would have a: socially conservative/economically conservative party, a socially conservative/economically liberal party, a centrist party, and a socially liberal/economically liberal party and then you could form coalitions to get things done but since it's a America with a fukked up political system. You have the GOP who represents just social and economic conservatism and Democrats who represent everything else. It's why we can hardly get anything done in this country.

So the GOP is for the working class ?
No but Trump spoke to them even though he did the exact opposite Dems need to specific what they are going to do for people who work a regular 40 hour a week job and struggle to pay bills but also don’t apply for welfare programs and food stamps. As a black man that grew up in those circumstances I never felt any politician speak to that just extremes.

But see? Stop doing that. It isn't fascism for a lot of them. It's about their actual livelihoods falling apart. Many of these blue collar, non educated white people don't even know how to properly define all these 'isms'. You can't ignore 70M people.


It’s racism. fukk them

Fukk Trump
1) The biggest problem in politics is that a huge percentage of white people are racist and would prefer to be poor if it means a black or hispanic person will also be just as poor as them, or hopefully more poor.
Thats really what it comes down to, and nobody is going to go say that on Live tv.

2) The second biggest problem is the right wing ecosystem. If I live in the middle of Nebraska, I typically have access to a ton of right wing radio stations and local news channel. I have to use youtube to find progressive or even centrist Democrat ideas, or cable news. If I dont have reliable internet or cable news, Im not even exposed to those ideas.

3) Third biggest problem is the actual framework of our political system. The electoral college was literally invented to give slaveowners more power wtih the 3/5ths of a person rule for black slaves. Id say 80% of white people arent even aware of this thanks to problem number 2. The electoral college and the senate are designed to give rural states more power. This is why they continually get there ass beat in the popular vote for both President and the Senate on a regular basis. The House of Representatives is also skewed because there is an artificial cap on the number of seats, and through gerrymandering, states destroy the integrity of your vote as well

Plenty more to go, here is good place for a break.
