re: #411 HappyWarrior

I think the point Smith and I are trying to make is that the party has no problems with Hispanic and Black working class voters supporting it and yet Senator Sanders wants to act like we have a working class problem. I mean I get his concerns. Honestly, it does sadden me that the demographic that my family was in when they embraced the Democratic party first as immigrants to this country has shifted to the GOP but unlike Senator Sanders, I can see that a big part of that shift is due to that demographics’ own prejudices. I am not saying all of them are racist or none of their concerns are economic but the fact is we do talk about these issues and so many of these voters would rather hear the empty rhetoric Trump showed them.

My comment wasn’t made to say you and Smith25’s Liberal Thighs think any certain way. I made it because what both of you were talking about made me think there may have been an unintended consequence to how Hillary and the Dems ran their campaings.

To put it simply: did too many white people suddenly grow more concerned about their own butts to worry about “other’s” butts?

And then they decided, screw the “others” I got my own problems and maybe Trump makes it better for me and mine. So, they went on a gut/base decision and voted for Trump thinking even if his policies are awful and mean to several groups maybe it opens up more for them. Let Trump do the dirty work and hopefully they benefit from it all.
