As someone who has a lot more experience with white rural American than you, I can assure you that that article is bullsh1t.

It's hyperbolic, but it gets at the fact that there is a pretty big information bubble in many of these places. It was obviously colored by the experience of its writer (growing up in a white rural area).

And this claimed existence of an information bubble is a lie.

https://www.cjr.org/analysis/breitbart-media-trump-harvard-study.php It's not just rural voters, but its among trumps base, which is, by the way, pretty heavily composed of working class whites.

Never call yourself a "leftist" ever again.

Leftism isn't about who you think you can convince to vote for you.

But it is, in literally all its forms, about egalitarian ideas and helping the least fortunate/striving for a more equal society.  Ridiculing some of the less fortunate areas of the country and writing them off is antithetical to leftism.

There's a difference between "I doubt we can win these people's votes without sacrificing too much of our core values, if at all" and "Lets leave these people to die".

OK, the pointless bickering has gone on too long. One more reply and I'm locking this thread for a couple days.

1. Big money has been tried and it hasn't worked for the Democrats. Hillary got WAY more money than Trump and still lost. Democrats have lost seats they shouldn't be losing. Take 0 corporate money and maybe people won't think you're a sellout or some establishment shill. Maybe you'll get a bit less money, but then what do you do? Go all over the place talking about how your opponent takes big money donations (as Republicans tend to do), and about how your average donation is twenny seven dollahs.

Lol. That doesn't work as well as you think it does. Most voters really don't care. Again, not everyone sees everything in the same way that you do. The attack ads airing all over the state are much more
effective then the target of said ads speaking in random bars or wherever

Most of those people, while not well off, aren't actually starving. They're often just rich enough to be primarily concerned with social issues. Those who are are often less interested in programs to help the poor and more interested in making themselves well-off enough to not need it.

Why do I even argue with you...

The idea that WV's and working class people, can't be persuaded to vote for left-wing parties, and left-wingers if there was a candidate that spoke to their concerns and to their ideals is ridiculous.

So.... To summarize, Christianity is bad and the upper education system has no liberal bias, just a facts bias.

I'd say in NH the House is very much more populist while the Senate is more establishment,  this is true for both Republicans and Democrats.  

With the House you get a lot more "everyday folk" since there are so many seats, while the Senate attracts more typical politicians that aspire to be in DC someday.

NH is pretty unique, though, because one out of every four New Hampshire residents is a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Can I openly wish for Trump to die of bowel cancer? That doesn't seem violent or a threat.

I'm running for the Chamber of Delegates and also withdrawing.

I read this as "I'm running for the Chamber of Delegates and also winning"

Peebs just automatically gets elected if she runs.

I'm going to win. I'm going to win so much. I'm going to win at scissors, I'm going to win at Quantum Leap. I'm going to win so much, I'm going to be so sick and tired of winning, I'm going to say to myself "Dammit, Peebs, you can’t win anymore." I'll say "Dammit Peebs. I, uh, you, this is confusing. Either way, I don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else." And I’m going to say "Pull yourself together, woman! I'm going to keep winning, winning, winning, I'm going to make Atlasia great again."

Why is this forum so obsessed with hating her?

Because this is forum of Hilary democrats, they hate anyone or anything not pro Hillary, doesn't matter if it's Bernie wing of the party, Trump, Biden etc.

Trump campaigned on the politics of addition. Hillary campaigned on the politics of division.
