Because, whether rightly or wrongly, this particular iteration of the Dems has been thought of as the party that can’t get shit done anymore. It’s also a lot easier to block bills when you’re the majority

As an average. You know, like when people say “All White People voted for Trump due to racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia”

Did this happen when there was a Dem senate majority?

I live in NYC. It’s not sunshine and light here either. But if we cannot hear when other people are suffering in addition to us, we’ll never get anywhere.

It’s not a zero-sum game. It’s bad in a lot of urban centers too. But recovery was focused heavily on cities. Less so on rural areas. Proof: http://eig.org/recoverymap

http://eig.org/recoverymap. If you don’t have a job, as it’s harder to imply you do according to that map I just linked, and drugs are wracking your communities there is nothing for you to do. All I’m saying, literally the only thing, is that it’s ridiculous to imply that there was nothing underpinning Trump support…

NAFTA. TPP. Unfettered Free Trade. Gutting Dodd-Frank, and Glass Steagall before that. All of those crippled the American middle class. http://eig.org/recoverymap. Tell me how vast swaths of America being unable to open businesses due to policies you either supported, or didn’t fight hard against, helps the American…

The point is not whether or not he’ll help. The point is whether or not they think Hillary Clinton would have. And the answer to that appears to be no, with good reason. She supported NAFTA and TPP. Her manufacturing plan was platitudes and cliches. And she never visited Wisconsin, and barely visited Michigan. But…

If you’re watching your kids die, and the kids of your friends around you die, because there’s nothing to do in your town anymore I think that tops White Supremacy. I see, also, you refuse to address that other link I posted. Have a lovely day.

A: I’m not white. B: I’m pretty sure I live in reality, as here is an article detailing the differences in suicide rate between rural and urban youths. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/38487/20150309/suicide-rates-differ-greatly-between-rural-urban-youths.htm. Here is a recovery map wherein you discover no businesses…

Me? Like, me personally? I live in a city. But for my friends and family who don’t, here’s what they complain about. Not getting any money to open a business because banks aren’t lending, if there is even a bank in town. Seeing stable blue-collar jobs leave town, and nothing replacing them.

Hi. Before we go any further, I want this to be clear. I’m half-white and half-black. So if you somehow think this is about me trying to excuse white people because I am one, you’re half-right and half-wrong. (A little biracial humor for you there.)

If you’re living in an urban city, things are great for you. But if you’re living in a small town where the biggest employer is a walmart, and you’re deciding between paying the house note or the medical bills, America doesn’t feel great. If your cost of living is high, but your wages are stagnant, America doesn’t…

A mannequin is probably less performative than Matt McGorry.

I voted for Bernie in the primary, and Jill Stein in the general. I live in a blue neighborhood of a blue city (Brooklyn) in a blue state. I’ve been a feminist since I was old enough to understand what that meant. And Hillary never had a chance with me.

Ok. So fuck me then.

A: I don’t mean to be a pedant, but isn’t it Jose Reyes as opposed to Jorge?

At least for me, i’ve never received that attention so i wouldn’t know.

ok.

you’re welcome.
