and for Republican Senators and Representatives do.

Not those of us who didn't vote that way.

First, welcome to DU.

Second, propaganda, or news, as the corporate media describes it, is not something people choose. It is background. And capitalists have always used identity to divide workers so the capitalists can better exploit the workers. That is not new.

And in a money based political system generally the rich are the only ones who can affords to run for office. Citizens United only accelerated a longstanding process.

Yes

What kind of crap is this?


ANY time innocent people are taken down as collateral is NOT ok.

People who voted for obama voted for trump. The working people of america take no responsibility for what they have done to themselves over the past 40 years. I lived it. I watched it. Sheep!

the people who voted for Trump, it will mean that those who didn't vote for him will also be hurt.

Why is that fair?


Maybe it doesn't bother you to suffer for what someone else did, but it sure bothers the hell out of me.

I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP!!!! I VOTED FOR HILLARY!!! There are just to many people for you to be generalizing that all Obama voters voted for Trump. I by the way am a poor uneducated woman in a red county and I have always voted Democrat. I do not deserve to lose everything and nor does most of the working class. I have lived it. I have watched it. I have seen most fight. It is amazingly hard to fight against a rigged election with the Russians backing them.

If not than you are immune to the powers that be.



Or so you think ...

and who did YOU vote for? tRump?

Have you ever laid your job, your financial well being on the line to do what was right. Too correct an injustice at your work place. Very few people have.

I have. It was brutal. I had to fight alone. I was willing to lose everything. No union, no other employee would stand with me. It aged me. But i won and it felt great.

How can people expect to have a better life if they won't fight for justice in their own workplace, let alone at the national level.

but some of us are already helping care for aging parents, adult kids who were laid off back in 2009 etc.. It's not that easy to walk away when so many people are intertwined and depend on each other.

You don't have to put yourself on the street to keep fighting. My parents and grandparents lived through the Depression, fought for unions etc.. they didn't leave their jobs first to do that.. They did both at the same time.

Not all. I know their are a lot of people like me who fight , who do not vote against their best interests. Their is not enough of us. We are losing.

I dunno... maybe?

I hope not.

I don't trust Trump with the nuclear football, but maybe he won't overreact to an insulting tweet after all?

CEO of exxon to be named secretary of state. I'm to old for this crazy shit.

They have failed to practice at the minimum standard of Congressional duty for the people.

but a lot of them sorely need to be educating at recognizing who is rooting for them and who is not

Sure, I'm angry at a lot of white working class people, but I'm not interested in retribution. They failed themselves, but the party as an organization has had a lot of failures itself over the years leading up to this.

Most democrats who voted for Hillary are working class. As are most DUers.

I work for a living and no, I'm not a masochist.
