The only difference between white progressives and white conservatives is my handle. White conservatives are appreciably straight forward about the fact that their cares extend to the four walls of their household and that’s about it. White progressives will bend over backwards to give people the impression that…

That was Bernie’s “super-predators”.
With you on the first part, lost me on the second.
You have to make it out of the primary first though.
There are numerous, primarily self-serving, reasons for people and politicians to drive the ceiling on “middle-class” as high as people will allow them to get away with. Declaring people well beyond the 90th percentile for the US to be middle anything is an insult to math among other things.
Now, when a too-tall truck interrupts a laser beam above Gregson Street, a signal is sent to the new traffic light 100 yards away at Peabody, turning it from green to yellow to red. That gives drivers an extra 50 seconds to realize they tripped the LED message that warns them to make a left or right turn before the…
Except if you were, you know, paying attention to what was going on in front of you like a responsible driver you’d see that the sign only turns on when a vehicle that is too tall is detected.
“The dictionary definition of free is ‘provided at no cost or charge’. Taxes are a cost or charge. If your service is funded by tax dollars it is by definition not free.”

Whatttt??? Bernie Sanders opened his mouth and out came something fucking idiotic about race? Huh?? How could this have ever happened??
“If John Q. Public in rural areas think urban democrats they are not paying attention and have not been for a damn long time.”
Pretending “public funds” don’t come primarily from private pockets is intellectually dishonest. Now maybe these things seem free to you because you’re a child, a student, or someone that for whatever reason isn’t contributing to the pool but they are not.
“Because this continued idea that we should be the “bigger people” and be bipartisan isn’t an ideal shared by the GOP, demonstrated by everything they did in the last 2 years.”
How exactly was anyone supposed to “pounce”?
During all this Beto stuff people forgot that there’s a whole lot of Texas outside of what you saw that time you visited Austin/Dallas/Houston/San Antonio.
“What you are really saying is the only way the Democrats can win is to further promote the rights of a small rural minority over the majority.”
Are they funded with tax payer dollars?
Republicans fundamentally run on the idea that the federal government doesn’t work and as an individual you’re better off with some portion of your money back.
