Let’s be real. What has the alt-left or alt-right ever done for us?
The alt right at least openly hates us and wants to deport, deny us rights or suppress our ability to control our body.
The alt left likes to play lip service to these ideas. But when push comes to shove, racist Uncle Joe in Kansas ability to get a job trumps any of those ideas.
Let the alt left and alt right fight for the “poor white guy”.
I mean what do we care. What has the “poor white guy” ever done for us.
He has done nothing but blame us for the reason his life sucks. Brown people took away his ability to get a job. Black people unfairly get into college and jobs because AA action. Women are too sensitive about “locker room” talk and need to know better than to get drunk at parties.
Maybe we focus on down elections. Moms...go run for the school board. LGBT go run for city council. AA go join a community task force.
What is the point of us being part of a broader party if every time we lose elections, the answer is to give into racism, sexism of the middle, marginalize the core base of your party and give away rights.
I’m pretty sure we had an infrastructure plan geared right at that middle. They didn’t listen. Progressive bros keep telling me that it isn’t racism...it’s ignoring the rural guy.
HOW? How did we ignore them? What exactly did Trump promise them that we didn’t also.
We haven’t been ignoring them. They don’t want to listen to a bunch of women, LGBT and brown people. Fine…
Dear Progressive Bro: Party is all yours. Show me how you are going to win the support the middle. You need to do it without Latino’s, most women and minorities.
You can’t count on my vote anymore because I can’t count on yours to keep me safe.
Let me know when the middle is willing to accept your socialist ideas where we all pay more taxes and government is a main driver of health care, SS, education, EPA etc
...and they are willing to share space and leadership with us “identity politics” folks.
Until then, good luck.
