quote:And don’t get me started on Chelsea. Yes, she’s a highly educated, well-spoken young woman with a lifelong front-row seat to politics and governance. I like when you see stuff like this pop up. For all their rhetoric about caring about the poor, what liberals really like more than anything is general upper-class indicators. To a liberal, the ultimate person is a rich person who has pity and compassion for those worse off (though just feeling it is enough, no need to do something extreme like pay higher taxes). When a liberal thinks of the type of person they like, the image of a well-dressed, wealthy (or at least upper-middle class) looking person with a "neutral" American accent who speaks in the way you would normally expect highly educated professionals to speak comes to mind. Even if they might say otherwise, stuff like accents (or anything that might indicate someone didn't grow up in an wealthy coastal liberal enclave) is viewed negatively.

^^^ Nah, people say this but it's more that the West Wing was reflecting attitudes that already existed. It didn't create those attitudes.Maarek posted:It's been said before but it's impressive how someone without any personality whatsoever was able to develop such a strong personality cult. Hillary has the type of personality that is very appealing if you're an upper class managerial-professional liberal. In the same way as someone talking with a Southern/Texan accent and referencing Americana appeals to more rural Americans, Hillary's general demeanor appeals to liberals of material means. Maarek posted:I think it goes beyond that. She is beloved by a very specific social caste that has a ton of people in it who work in the media and/or tweet a lot. When she lost the election to a fat idiot they (correctly) took this as a personal rejection and lots of them just doubled down on Her instead of being furious that she hosed up the entire country. Yeah, this (I hadn't seen this post yet when I replied above). I have a bunch of friends/acquaintances from high school and college who are consultants, lawyers, financial analysts, etc and they're big fans of Hillary. She basically sends "I'm from a similar background to you" messages to them. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 22:04 on Jul 19, 2017 |

I guess if you don't think I should be in national politics, you must just be prejudiced against me for whatever reason

whoa, mama, there's a lot to unpack about this article: http://www.theroot.com/bernie-sanders-black-women-problem-1796995081#_ga=2.184892448.821971625.1500235604-581843810.1476425799 first and foremost the guy who wrote it is tight with Ukrainian fascists and thinks that Stalin considered himself black, and he published it on The Root, which has had some...interesting takes lately.

I mean, unless you interpret "outvoted" as just "had a higher percent vote", but that's irrelevant to the greater "we can't win without all of this demographic" point.
