ikanreed posted:Suburbs are worse than rurals. Suburbs are a lot more varied a sort of place then people itt seem to talk like. Some suburbs are classist white flight strongholds yes, those are home to chuds aplenty. Some suburbs are working class and mixed, some are working class whiteflight. Some are indistinguishably blended over from cities and knowing where one ends and the other begins is impossible unless you're super familiar with local borders. Really depends where you are. In some places the idea that they're worse than rural areas is a laugh. Sometimes as in my state you see more a combo of the bad suburbs (the first type I described) teaming up with the more rural areas to represent the GOP voting base. One could not operate without the other, and they still have some differences. In some cases the lovely type of suburb transitions to better type over time as well. Orange County is the best example of that in 2018.

trying to derive a judgement on a geographic region from voting numbers in a country where half the population doesn't vote and we have tremendous voter suppression and gerrymandering seems like a bad idea

i was good friends with the son of two libertarians when I was growing up. His dad was once upon a time the candidate for governor in our state for the libertarian party. their house ruled because we could ride 250cc dirt bikes while wearing no protective gear beyond a bicycle helmet at age 10 and we could build trebuchets and poo poo. they were mostly hippies who wanted to be left alone by the government. they were grain farmers. I assume they took advantage of subsidies and crop insurance. i havent seen my friend since we graduated as he now lives in south america with his south American wife. his younger brother lives in Canada with his Canadian wife. I dont know if they held on to their libertarian leanings or if they realized a government-free Neverland was pretty dope for a 10 year old, but society rules and so does helping the needy.

Suburbs are a mixture of urban people who bought a home for their family and chud desperate housewives Show me a rural area that is anything more than the breeding pool for racist gun fuckers (don't include the farm labor mexicans)

Chokes McGee posted:I keep telling people who run into threads screaming RURALS AREN'T THE PROBLEM to give me a breakdown by state of the rural vote percentage instead of national and I never get it Any statistic on rural vs urban is going to be skewed because of how the census bureau defines rural vs urban. There's a ton of people who live in areas that they consider rural, and the average person looking at where these people live would absolutely consider them rural, but due to quirks in the census, they are counted as urban. See this article. quote:The sprawling, diverse segment of the United States that has changed from rural to urban since 1950 is the fastest-growing segment of the country. Culturally, newly urban areas often have more in common with persistently rural places than with the biggest cities. Most notably, in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have won only the counties defined as urban when the metropolitan classification began in 1950, while Donald Trump would have won every group of counties added to metropolitan after the initial round…. The people who live in this town are not rural per census definitions ChipNDip has issued a correction as of 18:39 on Jun 7, 2019 |

Victory Position posted:should have rubbed salt in the wound with a proper patriotic defense where you state that all the children who go to America's public schools are their kids It's amazing how easy theoretically it should be to couch socialist style messaging into patriotic stuff. Like reach the point where that messaging is working and happening and you're on the way back to winning working class people the GOP has controlled for awhile. People get too caught up in "BUT AMERIKKKA" and just never even try recapturing that stuff for good use.

Even her big mea cupla article was entirely lacking in apologies or any understanding of the damage she did to other people - it was entirely focused on herself, and the mess that neo-nazism had made of her life That was her big message - nazism is bad, not because it's evil, but because it really screws up your future career prospects. Yeah I'm pretty much sure if she was still making piles of money off of racist op-eds and books she would never had quit the alt right movement.
