Your answer here in reply to what he posted would give one a pretty strong inference you’re either literate or just a flat out lying troll. It does not in any manner address what he posted.
I stopped bothering with anything above ridicule when it spent days raging at me that I was both a doddering old fool, AND they were older and more experienced… and apparently this happened exactly, according to them, 17 times. Not 18, not 16, but precisely 17 times.
And yet here you still are, bothering away.
I didn’t curse in clas or seminars, just in my lab
Biden and the Democrats won. Trump who denied racism lost. You were saying?
I don’t know if you have realized it yet but the ''average white blue collar voter’s is a distinct minority
A lot of the country gets it and after George Floyd realizes that we need to do something about it.
Well, in my experience it might convince people, but it won’t technically prove it…
And even though his ancestors weren’t allowed to vote, but did count as 3/5th of a vote for representation and direct taxation purposes.
“Not racist” - yeah, right…
Even though there were still separate facilities for ‘coloreds’ when he was born… Even though in his lifetime Tiger Woods gained the ‘privilege’ to play at the Masters the first being Lee Elders, in 1975.
Defensive?
That’s fucking stupid as a statement.
What I sound is irritated and frustrated that the Lefty Progressives can not do good retail politics and insist on being preachy tone deaf fools insisting on snobbish Lefty academic language rather than playing a smarter goddamn political game.
Won by the hair of the teeth for God’s sake you stupid idiot, fuck me, no wonder the Democrats lose so often. Barely pulling out a victory (by electoral geography where it goddamn counts) against the single most unpopular President in our lifetimes is not some stunning recommendation that the Dems have Comms right (outside racking up votes in already Progressive basions, but that doesn’t win Congressional control).
Between dreaming of Permanent Majority in counting ethnic minorities automatically in the bag to foolish tone deaf own-goal rhetoric like Abolish ICE, Defund Police, USA is a Racist nation… you virtually fucking make the ads against you to play to non-Activist crowds.
I haven’t realized it as it’s not in fact true.
Check your data:
So each indicator that can be used to define the white working class, whether applied
broadly or narrowly, shows huge declines from the World War II era to today—declines
roughly in the 30-50 percentage point range. The income-based definitions show the
sharpest declines and the occupation-based definitions the least, with the education-based
definitions somewhere in between. And in each case, these shifts have moved the white
working class from being the solid and sometimes overwhelming majority of US adults
(or workers or families) to being a minority.

Quite a comeback for someone who is not the least defensive.
And what exactly is “retail politics”? Some word crap you made up to sound educated?
It’s kind of cute that you think ads against Progressives will create voters.
Their share of income is now a little less than 25%, so playing to them at the expense of the other 75% makes no sense, even if you insist on calling it retail politics, which has become less and less effective as methods of reaching larger audiences have proliferated.
Have you read this and if so what did you think? I’m looking for some audio books for an upcoming trip.
