One of the better examples of a pot calling a kettle black. Seriously? No, you can't be serious. Are you? Cause that's some dumb*** **** right there if so. So we will assume you were joking.

There will be a 2016 version of "BUT HER EMAILS!!!" or Swiftboat and I am 100% positive that the media will once again fall sucker to Republican smear attacks. This. So this. It usually starts on FOX or another right-wing source, then MSNBC or CNN or whoever will cover the nonsense in the name of giving equal time, but all they are really doing is validating the coverage of nonsense. And you know if 8-10 months from now Joe Biden is still leading by as wide a margin as he currently is, there will be plenty of kooky stuff from his past that the GOP/Right wing media will look to amplify and and per usual the rest of the media will fall into the same "well shoot, we have to say something about this" trap.

That party's primary focus is division by race, religion, gender, etc. and has historically highlighted differences between groups including feeding hate to gain political advantage.

Yes, the party that runs in opposition to white identity politics, which has plagued this country since its inception, is the real problem.

No one has offered much of anything to help them since Farm Aid. I know tho, "Bernie sucks!" so it has to be bad, but its an offer. I don't think it's the best offer, but its a start to a convo that no one was having but is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if there's some reason to be sure that this is what Red State voters want or that it will win them over. I haven't seen much discussion on it before, and I'm not sure they wouldn't pick Trump over something they previously wanted if he tells them it's bad. It's also the sort of thing Republicans would be against generally. (though these days that doesn't mean as much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only point is that its a policy that is aimed to specifically to help rural areas. That is a group of people that have been abandoned by neoliberal policies and it may be why some, not all, have turned to white nationalism.

NoCalMike Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think you can counter the jobs report pretty easily. Is the middle class still being squeezed? Are you still living paycheck to paycheck? Is it still taking 2 or more full time jobs to afford basic necessities? Yes? Well then a good jobs report doesn't really mean squat for you. Oh awesome, more people have joined the losing end of the daily grind of working non stop in order to stay in their homes. Hooray! It is long past time that we stop defining the economy on a vague and generic "jobs" report and start actually examining the actual jobs themselves. I remember in 2016 when the GOP actually stole some talking points from the Occupy Wall Street crowd and pretended for about 2 minutes to care about some of these issues too because they were running for President at a time where these same jobs reports showed that Obama was leaving the country in a good economic place if you were to solely judge the economy off these reports, oh at which time Trump also said they were fake numbers. So there's that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's that too. Exactly. The problem is most Dems aren't willing to say that. Ironically, like you said, that was probably the realist point in Trump's 2016 campaign. The economy wasn't helping the middle class and the poor. Working for Uber/Lyft or delivering mail for Amazon is not a stable job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I remember Ted Cruz......TED CRUZ....uttering the phrase "income inequality." during the 2016 campaign. I am willing to bet he has probably brought it up zero times since Trump has been elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It would be nice if some of his more realistic policies made it into the platform like in 2016. I don't want him as the candidate. Although if he is I will vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
