Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Much of the working class regularly votes against their own self interest by voting for face eating leopards. Well at least they owned the libs, so they have that going for them.
“Against their own self interest.”
As true now as when it was written.
Yeah, it’s a real shocker why the working class wants nothing to do with the moment left. There’s nothing more modern leftist than insinuating you know better than the working class.

That "Elitist Left" line really is some world-class propaganda. Kudos, right-guy, your teams propaganda is the best. It doesn't seem to be possible to construct a sound-byte-level counter to it. It takes at least a paragraph to deconstruct the argument. But a paragraph deconstructing an argument is exactly what an elitist would do. It plays right into the narrative. Even the fact that I think a sound-byte is needed only helps the narrative. It's really spectacularly good propaganda.
Well well well, college boy think they're better 'an me

My guy, the article I linked was written by a leftist for leftists.
Problem is they, like many others, are tricked into fighting about culture issues. The robber barons have returned while we fight amongst ourselves.
Didn’t read the article, huh?
That’s the problem.
Great article, written by a anti-Trump leftist, for other leftists, on what went wrong regarding the working class support, but getting leftists to read it is damn near impossible.
The problem is people don't read articles bigots post in comment threads? lol You make it impossible for yourself. You shouldn't be surprised people aren't interested in reading your recommendations when you openly spew hate. Trans people aren't hurting anyone by wanting to be their authentic selves, they aren't a problem. Bigotry is a problem, it hurts people while distracting from the robber barons exploiting the working class and the environment.
Nope, the problem is that you guys lost to a dumbass like Trump, twice, and learned nothing.
All while actively chasing away the working class, which is pretty wild for a leftwing ideology.
Lol pretending not to be a trumper
The problem is...
It's paywalled, m8.
Why would I not want the people running the government to be better than me at running a government?
