Democrats Dont Have an Easy Answer for the Rust Belt

68. I sincerely appreciate your open-mindedness, B_A.

I'm the opposite, an uneducated, lower class, 71-year old white woman. Many of the issues facing people of color are the same issues facing white people, especially in rural areas. I communicate with these folks (poor folks) every single day. Many, if not most, are Democrats at heart, but they're desperate for some way forward in their neighborhoods. I can't tell you how many times they commented on why there were so few Democratic leaders showing up in Flint, in Chicago, in Detroit, with the Standing Rock Sioux. They wondered why there were so many new bike paths and so few safe rural bridges.The list of what binds us is immense. The list of leaders willing to do that binding is not. We MUST reach out, as the saying goes, all for one and one for all.
