Sheng-Ji Yang posted:its certainly fueled it for the last 40 years for sure. and the rich have eagerly exploited the political dynamic for their own gains, to the detriment of the entire country. but the notion that republican voters in alabama are nothing more than victims exploited by the capital class is hopelessly simplistic. it's the kind of conclusion you reach if you insist on interpreting every decision through an economic lens. you can trick people into making dumb choices, sure. but when they have a choice in the matter, people don't just vote to gently caress themselves over decade after decade for no reason. if they've been taking it in the rear end economically for 40+ years then they're getting something out of the deal. the people of alabama are, and have always been, free to vote for leaders who don't dig poop trains. they are worthy of mockery precisely because they choose to have poop trains (it's notable that the poop train was tolerated in the town for months until the story went national and made the state look bad)

Bhodi posted:
in fact one party made a significant medicaid expansion available to the rural poor, many of whom* then doubled down on the other party whose platform fixated on blocking said expansion. politicians tend to pander to their voters pretty shamelessly on issues the voters really care about. you couldn't even win an election for dog catcher in these places if you publicly called for strict gun control laws, but promise to keep them from getting government healthcare and they couldn't care less. those are their political priorities. if and when those priorities change, the politicians will follow, not before. *the white ones

imo we POC (who are actually a majority in NYC) shouldn’t be asked to coddle whites who voted against our existence or to entertain any excuses for their behavior or people who care more about their inherent goodness than about our humanity seems simple enough

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:i mean, yeah? your explanation for the way red states vote begins and ends at "right-wing media brainwashing". but then, why is it so much more effective in rural and southern region? is it a question of education? culture? innate intelligence? ethnic homogeneity? historical circumstances? if they're being consistently tricked for 40+ years then there's gotta be something to explain it, right? you are embodying the caricature that red staters have of outsiders who think they're all just too stupid to vote the correct way. it's not a convincing argument, bc it refuses to acknowledge their own, non-economic motivations for the way they vote. i don't think they're too stupid-- i think they're a mixture of too prideful, too scared of change, and too bigoted. and while they wouldn't agree with my analysis, they frequently claim to vote in support of abstract non-economic values of heritage, traditional values, and "freedom" that, subject to interpretation, can be understood as fig leaves to excuse the list of moral failures i just gave. again, the poop train only got fixed when the story went national and embarrassed them. wallowing in poo poo for a month wasn't fun but being laughed at for it was completely intolerable. that says something key about local priorities that has very little to do with right-wing media, and shows that ridicule, not sympathy, can actually motivate positive change Dixie Cretin Seaman has issued a correction as of 22:49 on Apr 22, 2018 |
