Ok, like, I get what he's trying to get at, but, this is the exact sort of take that is the goal of Republican campaign tactics. Posts like this do their work for them.
Racial class grievances among working people, on all parts of the political spectrum, are what got us here.
If we ever want to see anyone to the left of the current Republican party take power in this country again, then campaigns are going to have to learn to directly address the economic needs of working people.
Retotric won't be enough there HAS to be meaningful follow through.
Posts, like the one presented here, are beyond counterproductive.
It's very reminiscent of Hillary's "deplorables" comment, isn't it? The smug sense of self satisfaction comes oozing from the screen.
She was right.
Big picture it doesn't matter if she was right or not
Trump won the election and we all lost because of it.
I understand the anger but I encourage you not to emulate the Clinton/Establishment Democrat deep commitment to never learning anything that might require the smallest bit of accountability.
Judging by some of the recent punditry I have seen from the likes of Axelrod and Matthews they haven't learned shit.
