Pennsylvania: At the forefront of race-based voter suppression but we're mainly talking about a job that has a lot of cultural meaning as a dog-whistle for poor whites. This is a shocking turn of events and definitely what we should focus on above all.

How about...the Dems focus on both? And again, it's not just the coal jobs that's the problem. It's auto workers, appliance manufacturers, and other Rust Belt jobs that are gone and have not been replaced.

Majorian posted:No, I think coal workers were part of the problem, as were other laid-off/underemployed industrial workers. The point is, the Dems need to promise a jobs program if they want to win in those Blue Wall states again. Your gut feeling is wrong, which we know because of the studies done on the election, and which has been explained to you multiple times, so maybe can we not loving discuss the election again with somebody who absolutely refuses to listen, thanks everyone

This is the part where you try and frame my disagreement as if I dont Care About Real America as we just focus on poor whites despite the part where I was talking about how much the few coal workers left have been hosed. If you want to find a post where I said I don't give a poo poo about declining quality of life go ahead but you won't because you are trying to have the argument you want me to be making instead of the one I am

All of which Dems talked about but they didn't couch it in xenophobic rhetoric and that's the key difference. The point of mentioning coal is it's a Good White Job.

BarbarianElephant posted:Use the accurate words when writing your academic paper. Explain things longform when talking to Uncle Notsobright at Thanksgiving. Fojar38 posted:Seems to me like preserving the intangible and abstract value of the work that has been poured into the field is less important than winning elections and getting policies in line with them implemented. It's triangulating bullshit. Clinton's husband did it 25 years ago and it was enough to invalidate the 2016 platform from the left-but I guess that was only a problem because it was economic and not social? "Listen, we care about your concerns-but if we don't discuss them, we can get more voters to join our coalition. We promise that we'll take care of you once that happens" are the last words you hear before you're sold out, ever since the days of Dorr. *To the extent that male equality is a question from a gender lens, it's entirely internecine. Egalitarianism vs Feminism has minimal impact on those concerns. Fojar38 posted:It's really weird that people seem to think that I am even a little bit of a Trump supporter just because I'm not melting down at every tweet. Are we measuring political positions by how visibly upset someone gets at particular things? For instance: Majorian posted:How about...the Dems focus on both? Majorian posted:That's a lazy cop-out of an answer that does nothing to put Pennsylvania back in the Dem column.

stillvisions posted:If he stays President, I can bet there will be three years private communications with EU and others promising he'll rejoin the Paris agreement in exchange for some trade concession or something else equally petty/showy he can use to prove he's a super-negotiator. It won't work (please please please let me be right) but I'm sure he's seeing this as "creating leverage". They have already told him to get hosed in the most polite terms. His lack of social skills or self-awareness means he doesn't get the message. When he does feel some heat he turns into a orb and hides. You don't need sanctions to get the US back on track, you need everyone to tell Trump to go gently caress himself at every turn. Grind him into paste. No bank in America will do bushiness with him because of his "Art of the deal". Hence he does his banking in Russia.
