I don't watch television so I had never seen the Bernie Sanders ad until now. I think it's immensely offensive: there must be several hundred people shown in this ad, and I see four fleeting images of African-American faces and one possibly Asian-American. His America is definitely not mine, and I wouldn't want to live in his.

For what it's worth, I'm an over-60 white female Democrat, and I have spent all but one year of my life living in cities. The one year I tried living in the country, I felt I was living in Ghostville: all I could see were middle class white faces. So I fled back to MY America, where I see and live with all manner of colors and classes, people of poverty and people with Ph.D.s; Jews, Christians, Muslims, Black Muslims, Hindus and people of no faith.

"People of Poverty" is such a uniquely horrific turn of phrase I feel like Laura Penny is actually a clinton pseudonym.

Down I think. I think I read that in Politico postmortem. Latinos in Arizona broke harder for Trump than Romney, and nobody voted in PA and Milwaukee.

Also 100k less voters in Milwaukee and 40000 less voters in Detroit

Flint is a black city too, it's also a city that used to have manufacturing before NAFTA, and saw its citizens get thrown in jail for weed under the Clinton crime bill, and watched their social safety net dissolve under "welfare reform" that made sure people had "skin in the game". :eng101:

Michael Moore is also from Flint which is probably related to why he knew Trump could/would win.

So basicaly some white lady is pissed because a commercial doesnt show every consevable racial/ethnic/religious group under the sun. They want politics to APPEAR diverse instead of actually helping everyone.

Whenever a neoliberal accuses class issues of ignoring race, gently remind them;

"In absolute terms, the median white household had $111,146 in wealth holdings in 2011, compared to $7,113 for the median black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. (All figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Participation.) This is what is called the racial wealth gap."
