What base? Who is in the Democrat's base that isn't voting for Hillary next month?
Appeal to people who will never vote for them? Like who? Dems have been shytting on rust belters, bible belters, business owners and white people for decadesAnd they haven't done shyt for most of their "base"; minorities and the poor/middle class are generally worse off than they've been in a long time. Gay marriage? Wow. So fukking what? Labor participation rate is still at historic lows. What are the Democrats doing about that?
Competent?After Benghazi? The email shyt? Mass incarceration? All she is "competent" at is self-enrichment and empowerment. Ken Lew, Bernie Madoff, dikk Fuld, they were "competent" too
:biggapls:
How exactly have the Dems shytted on white people and business owners?
Hell, the Democrats go out of their way to ignore black people's issues because they're scared it'll upset white people.
Is it that hard to admit that racial resentment really is the actual motivation of a lot of conservative voters? They feel like they're losing the country to minorities and don't like it, and they feel that "socialist" policies (like universal healthcare and welfare) benefit minorities more than them so they go for the most anti-minority candidate. It really is that simple to an extent.
The average voter isn't worried about NAFTA and trade agreements and all that.
As I've been saying for months, my priority issue is foreign policy, and I have no doubt in my mind that Hillary, from her unrepentence about her disasterous term as SoS to her stoking Russophobic sentiments with the neoconservative establishment coalescing around her, is the more competent and willing warhawk. But please, I would love to hear how opposition to amnesty and trade deals like TPP have been "discredited". My feeble mind simply cannot understand how legalization of millions of illegal immigrants primarily working in the same sectors as much of the African-American community is a better policy for the African-American community than enforcing deportation laws. When you're done with that one, I would love to hear how the corporate overlords would look after the African-American community in the wake of TPP. I was unaware that the only reasonable policy is to continue sliding down the mountain face, smiling.
anti-free trade is a protectionist policy. Opening economic borders for multinational buttfukkery is not protecting the American worker
