Apparently the D&D thread is going on about "DEMOGRAPHICS!!" and saying that rural areas are abandoned to Republicans

Gee I wonder if there's some sort of economic policy or message that would resonate with people who are not wealthy or struggling as jobs become increasingly difficult to come by outside of cities. ....hm nope guess I'll just give up and hope that in 40 years, the demographic changes do all the work for me

Those people are terrible racists and we shouldn't appeal to them.

The terrible racists that live in the suburbs, however, are another story entirely.

I got friends going that way in a few years if all goes well and one plan is to just hitch in with them and try to find something.

other plan is just to join a vihara and leave the secular life.

It's lovely that people think rural America is some sort of cultural monolith, as if everyone outside city limits is a drooling inbred racist homophobe while all those in the city are morally superior

There's blue voters in all counties so why the gently caress would you not try to expand that margin if you wanna run for office

tbf whenever the democrats try to do it instead of just talking about how their politicies would help their lives they just say "WHAT IF IM RACIST WILL U VOTE FOR ME THEN" then act betrayed when no one votes for them

maybe these posters just starting following politics after trump won so they arent like aware of how politics works in america

Some are young/college-aged, but most are just white guys who immediately transitioned from college to a high-paying professional career, which basically results in being insulated from having to think seriously about things like politics.

spacetoaster posted:

Holy poo poo the DnDers are all talking suicidal poo poo again.

And saying republicans are a dead party because "demographics" will allow the democrats to win forever in just a few years.

I'm honestly stunned and disturbed at how much those people like Beto O'Rourke. I think it's largely a function of the forum being strongly skewed towards higher-income white folks.

One of my greatest fears is that, when government control inevitably shifts back to the Democrats in 2-6 years, we just do a repeat of the Obama years, and someone like Beto would guarantee that outcome.

Wait, why are the DnDers suicidal, were they expecting the Senate to flip or something? Lol

This is about as good as it was going to get, especially with gerrymandering and voter suppression. If you believe in the system how is this a bad outcome?

Liberal smugness means that working class people don't deserve economic justice if they don't have the correct opinions.

"Little Billy, I;m so sorry you only eat once a day, at school with the free lunch you're entitled to for being so poor, but your father owns a MAGA hat."

Helping that family means "appealing to racists" so it's forbidden. But it's just a cover for them being afraid of more people having class consciousness and demanding things that would necessitate regulation, nationalization, and taxation.

The one ad he ran over and over and over was "Wisconsin's roads suck, you and your coffee deserve better." with footage of a coffee spilling in a cupholder.

He's not amazing but he'll be fine. His background in education gives him the chops to un-gut our previously top 5 in the nation school system.
