STOP this talk about "throwing people under the bus" or trying to "appeal to racists"!!!!!!!

No one is saying that. We are saying to stop ignoring ANYONE, and yes, that mean STOP IGNORING WHITE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE IN SMALL TOWN AND RURAL AMERICA! The "party of the people" means EVERYONE, not just urban liberals. We need urban liberals too, but we were ALWAYS the party of the rust belt and small town working folks and we have LEFT them and it is KILLING US!!!! The vast majority of them are NOT "racists". They are good people who want JOBS because they have been royally screwed over by shitting trade deals and other things and they are HURTING. Trump gave them a strong economic message. We did not. And that is why he won. Plain and SIMPLE. We need to get back to being champions of working people again, PERIOD.
