(10,173 posts)31. Thanks Martin..
I'm still very bitter.
My bitterness led me to joining this site.
yes we need to reach out but every policy on the table this year screamed that we understood. And I want to know whether we will ever hold voters accountable for their own myopia and foolishness? It can't just be up to politicians, we also have responsibilities as citizens to understand the circumstances we find ourselves in - so I find it very difficult to give them a pass or understand.
If I hear the message, if it registered with me, why not them? If you , and I and others who understand the value of political engagement understand this, on a fundamental level, why can't they?

Yep. But they can't stop demographic shift. It's going to happen when they like it or not.

I think a Trump presidency will crystallize priorities for many, but the price to pay is still high.

The ones that really irritate me are the ones who use the term "working class" as a slam.

Black people get the same treatment the Republicans gave the religious right for years.

LOL! I'm sitting here at 18 below wondering where I'm going to be able to find the bucks for heat.

Especially when you consider that nothing Jeremiah Wright said was all that outlandish.
