I don't know. But sometimes they can be the smartest people here.
White/Black...Six of one...half dozen of the other...I rest my case! :giggle1:
:2usflag::2usflag:
Does anyone know how many people whom are on the Affordable Care Act and consider themselves conservative or just voted for Trump? :lamo
Why would you vote against your interest? Your pride is more important then your health? SMH wake up GOP.
Omg your making no sense. But I'll bite
So the black lady voted for a democratic and got a phone. Wtf does a poor white person whom im sure got an Obama phone too. Not to mention aca coverage. Yet they don't want Obama care and don't understand that the aca is just that. Bottom line what did the gop give to the poor whites whom vote for them?
Those voters may vote Republican because they have had it up to their keister with the constant barrage of criticism from Democrats who delight in blaming those voters' ethnicity for every single ill in this country.
I think an awful lot of uneducated or minimally educated whites vote their prejudices and fears. These voters, if they vote at all, tend to vote Republican. Their lot in life doesn't change much regardless of which party has power so they repeat the same mistake over and over again. Most Americans who work for a living don't have the time to study issues or people who lead or aspire to lead. Ideas that revolve around happiness levels, quality of life, and the common good don't get much consideration. Loftier ideas fall victim to prejudice, and fear. Most people do vote their own self interest but self interest is not the same across education and income levels.
Poor whites aren't well educated and are easily duped with dog whistle propaganda that targets their fears and prejudices. Which is probably why the founders didn't want them to vote.

Why do uneducated blacks and uneducated Hispanics consistently vote democrat?
It's obviously a function of racism. White people all hate anyone from any other race but educated whites are smart enough to feel guilty about it.:doh
Dood is well aware of the facts...he did his ridiculous hit and run in the thread which cited the statistical fact that 75% of black boys in California fail to read to grade standard. Of course...his only response is, its someone elses fault. Why do so many blacks continue to vote democrat despite being so completely and consistently ****ed by the democrats? See the OP.
This video explains a lot...
You know a town is dying when the only Walmart closes.
It's sad what happened to the poor people in coal country...but I don't think their jobs are coming back no matter what Trump promised them. At least Clinton had a viable plan to help replace coal jobs with retraining programs and business incentives for clean energy jobs...and now they don't even have that. Sad.
But coal isn't the first industry to lose jobs to newer technology and industrialization and it probably won't be the last. Nothing stays the same forever.
Because they believe what wealthy, powerful people tell them.Know that old saying, "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?" Well, the other side of that coin is, "If you're so rich, you must be smart!"
That, and ignorance is where mindless obedience to authority is born.
He who knows the least, obeys the best.
Education and intelligence are not one in the same. Although not always as verbally articulate, someone who has had to work and survive in the real world usually has much more common since and awareness that than a college graduate who has never worked outside academia, journalism, politics or a government bureaucracy.
What makes you think that they do? Is it everyone in the middle of the country white poor and undereducated to you?
Why do Democrats despise middle America?
