re: #242 BeachDem

Brava! Where did this new “Democrats didn’t talk about economic issues” crap come from, anyway? (other than 24/7 from BoB folks and Bernie himself, but I digress.)

I guess because we didn’t lie straight to their faces—telling them industries that have been dead for 25-30 years are going to come roaring back with high-paying jobs and unicorns.

I’m of the “go home from the dance with the one who brought you” camp—don’t abandon the people who believe in your values and support you to woo the ones who don’t.

I don’t know the answer—but in my mind it sure isn’t jumping on the populist Trump train to soothe the feeling of “white working class” people at the expense of everyone else.

I figure it is my responsibility as a white woman to use my soapbox for something.
