I didn’t say that not liking him makes you a racist. What I’m saying is that after he wins, elected Republicans are going to say very racist things about him, just like they did after he won the primary

Maybe so. But honestly… New Yorkers who vote for him deserve whatever they get. I’m done and tired of feeling bad for people who bring their own hardship on themselves

That’s exactly how I feel about red states continuing to vote red. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, and that’s exactly what red states do. They keep electing people with shitty policies and wonderful why their states remain shitholes that need bailouts from blue states

Well then what’s your reasoning for the fact that even in red states, the shittiest places are often blue? Saint Louis, Memphis, New Orleans etc.

Really? Because typically the wealthiest communities are suburbs. On average at least

Despite being consistently right wing, rural areas consistently have a lower median household income, greater food insecurity (Food and Nutrition Service), worse education disparities (USDA Economic Research Service), and worse clinical care (NIH PMD: 37788228). Makes you wonder which places really are the “shittiest.”

btw there’s mountains of more data showing the red vs blue divide for economic growth, education quality, and other QoL indicators. or you could actually go to these rural, solid red towns and see with your own eyes how barren and abandoned they are.

I don’t even need to read anything else aside from “barren and abandoned” to understand how you view rural people. One of liberals biggest problems is their elitist mindset and the fact that you think where you’re born makes you better than everyone else

when someone gives you facts you’re supposed to respond likewise. And yes, these communities have largely been abandoned by economic interests and more recently social safety nets like federally funded healthcare and food programs. Rural flight is a real phenomenon. (Figure from Carsey School of Public Policy, University of North Hampshire)

The point is, even though you may think big cities are “shitty,” people want to live there. And it’s unlikely that they’d have a much higher QoL than Republican or rural areas if the politics running them were any worse.

I don’t want people to be abandoned either but you can thank cold hard capitalism for it

There’s no real legal pathway for that, i think he’s just saying stuff. I don’t think they would want to do an extra-legally either, since Zohran is not a mexican who cant fight back…. he’s high profile person nowadays.

Partisans maybe coming to the conclusion that politics on both ends tend to be redundant and oppressive?! This is awesome
