The pundit on CNN is not having it. He has been on every single half hour reminding everyone that a sitting president has only one time in history fired the head of an investigation on himself. And we all know how that turned out. Every single half hour show.

There is a distinct difference between being open to other opinions and letting people publish terrible, incorrect information. The NY Times seems to be struggling with this lately. There are two or more sides to many arguments. That doesn’t mean they are all correct, or factually supported, or deserving of attention.

That depends on the context and timing of your interactions with people in WV. For example, I worked in a diner 2007-2008 and was treated regularly to conversations like this:
“Who you think the Democrats are gonna go with?”
“I don’t know, but it’s a sad situation when you’re stuck choosing between a woman and a

Hillary Clinton did not simply say she was going to take away their jobs. That was an opening statement that was immediately followed by the promise of a $30 billion program for all of coal country, with investment in new industries and retraining programs.

You act like there’s a debate, that the racist reputation of the state is just anecdote gone viral. Survey after survey validates the states reputation. Demographics, employment stats, you name it.

It’s a waste of your time to write long responses to me. I see that you’ve made one, I automatically dismiss it because you’re racist trash. But keep on trying, fuck stick.

I have been to Beckley, and you are correct.

I wish I could give you 10,000 stars. I grew up in Grafton, WV but spent alot of time in Elkins and down south in Bluefield. I KNOW how people are in WV and the vast majority of people there are extremely racist. As a POC they made my life a living hell. When I turned 18 I got out of there as fast as I could.

As someone who gave living in West Virginia a try (I’m originally from California, lived in WV for about two years, then moved back to CA) there were some good points to this article, but I think you really underplay the role of racism/sexism in Donald Trump’s election there. When I was living in WV, I routinely heard

I feel you. For the third grade science fair, my project was about if a dogs mouth was cleaner than a humans. My school was k-12. So I walked over to the high school part of the building and asked the 9th grade teacher what I needed. I ordered the petri dish, made the agar. swabbed the mouths. I put the dishes in the
