Van Jones, I am sorry, but you are wrong.

4. Van Jones is 100% exactly RIGHT

But some people on this site refuse to see that because they refuse to accept the FACT that although racism, sexism and bigotry in all forms DOES exist and is a motivator for some voters (the alt-right mostly), it's not anywhere near as wide spread as some insist.

Van is SO RIGHT about the elitism. As someone who grew up in a rural area I can say the number one thing I heard regarding politics is frustration with the "city folks" who are trying to force their will onto country folks by way of gun control, rules and laws they deem pointless and being control freaks over everything they touch.

Keep right on calling these people racists and demonizing them and not only will you NEVER get those Democrat votes back, you will lose even more and NEVER win another election.

It's not the damn Republicans being racially divisive to voters...but this site sure as hell is. It needs to STOP.


Very few people vote over race. They vote over what is going to help them have a better life. Those rust belt people NEED JOBS. If Democrats had of dragged their collective asses to those rural areas and talked about jobs then Trump would not have gotten their votes.

Democrats are NOT entitled to voted...they have to get out and EARN them. That sense of entitlement to votes just because liberals think they are right is a perfect example of elitism and it turns the middle off. Seeing all this ignorant nonsense here is really pushing me away from voting Democrats next time and I've given my votes to them exclusively for over a decade now.
