VA has an enormous number of folks from Central America. I know Iâm repeating myself, but if Dems would actually reach out to working-class Hispanic communities instead of angry white coal miners in Scranton, PA, theyâd be running the tables.

Angry white coal miners donât matter at all. White truck drivers, retail workers, call center workers, and restaurant workers absolutely do. One of the key problems is that both parties are still targeting the problems of occupations that barely even exist anymore.
The DNC should be running hard on making it illegal to send people home before their scheduled shift is over, making it illegal to radically change someones shift without notice, etc. There are tons of abuses going on of lower class workers in the 21st century that you could straight up fix. A fifteen dollar minimum wage is pretty spotty in terms of the benefits it brings, but most workers in the bottom 60% are living with massively unstable paychecks because corporate profits.
A big part of the AOC appeal is that she actually worked some of these crappy jobs and can speak to normal folks.
Part of the reason most Democrats offer utterly useless policies like tax deferred whatever the fuck for people who canât afford health care and are swimming in debt is that theyâve never been anything other than upper middle class or above.

Yup this. People donât realize how shitty big corporations in particular are to their lower level employees. The biggest reason why they do all that scheduling bullshit is so that they can run their operations on the ABSOLUTE minimum amount of labor humanly possible. This doesnât just make your wages totally unpredictable when youâre living on a knifes edge between being able to pay your bills and not⌠it also means that every single shift your job is running on a skeleton crew that is stretched to the absolute breaking point.
And the sending people home part is basically so that if there happens to be any slack because more people show up than expected they can send people home, unpaid ldo, so that they can go back to having every single human on the clock working their fingers to the bone.
I worked in call centers for years. During those years we were basically always in back to back call mode where callers were waiting on hold and weâd get another call slammed the second we finished a call. We were expected to wrap those calls up and be ready for the next one in fifteen seconds or less generally and had to ask permission to use the bathroom âbecause weâre in Queueâ which of course we always were because if we werenât theyâd start sending people home.
Itâs really hard to explain to people whoâve never been treated like an animal at a slaughter house at their job how dehumanizing it all is. More money would be great and all, but more than money these workers need to be treated like people and work at something resembling a normal pace.
And I hear Amazon warehouses make the jobs I worked seem like sugar candy mountain.

My chud friend that voted for Trump over Hillary said heâd vote for Bernie over Trump.
Thatâs my fun anecdote of the night.

Trump over Warren though right?
The unspoken truth about the furor Buttigieg arouses is that his success threatens a core belief of young progressives: that their ideology owns the future, and that the rise of millennials into Democratic politics is going to bring an inevitable demographic triumph for the partyâs far left wing.
The left believes the youth are on its sideâand as shown by Bernie Sandersâ popularity among the under-30 set, as shown in a recent Quinnipiac poll, theyâre apparently right. In a primary debate with the incumbent former Rep. Joe Crowley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, âI represent not just my campaign, but a movement.â Mobilized young Democratic Socialists of America members have raved to the New York Times about how the DSA is âwhat the Democratic Party should be.â

Buttigieg does not enjoy considerable support among young people. In a recent New York Times /Siena poll of Iowa voters, he placed a distant third among 18-to-29-year-olds, behind Sanders and Warren. But he does appeal to a certain kind of young person, as now represented in the cultural imagination by the âHigh Hopesâ dancers. And to the self-renouncing meritocrats who act as thought leaders to the young left, those people represent both a personal frustration and a political fearâthat the institutions of tomorrow may yet be built by those with faith in yesterdayâs ideals.

Just amazing that these dumbasses continue to think like this. When was the last time Republicans signalled a willingness to work with Democrats?
Underlying this is this same old, honestly the word âcuckâ seems appropriate, Democrat mentality that voters have set political preferences and the way to win their votes is to attempt to appease these preferences. How about actually trying to convince people that you have good ideas?

Al gore picked joe Lieberman for vp so itâs not like a crazy idea. I of course take him literally. Jeff flake, bob Corker, theyâre in bidenâs vp wheelhouse
Is he trying to get actual progressives to not vote for him if heâs the nominee? Because this is how you get actual progressives to not vote for him if heâs the nominee.
Unless actual progressives are idiots, they will suck it up and vote for Biden vs Trump if thatâs the choice. Sitting it out, voting 3rd party, or voting for trump are not options. Doing either makes one an idiot actual progressive or not an actual progressive.
None of the above should be interpreted as a defense of Bidenâs line here.
