2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Fuck the white working class [View all]radical noodle
(8,751 posts)6. They all need to wake up and realize
we freaking won, if not for the weird electoral college. We have the majority. She has over 2 million more votes than Trump now. And still we have this same maddening story about how we must blow up the Party.
I just saw a post related to that where the person admitted that they didn't vote for our candidate. Why in hell should that person have a voice now? I don't see it. Those are the people who gave away everything for their own personal gotcha moment. This country will go back in time because of them. Maybe I'm just old, contrary and angry... but I am what I am, and I'm mad as hell.

if Trump's voters trended wealthier than usual, then it seems odd to blame it on the working class
