    Who’s kicking them? It’s an internet comment stating how shitty they have been and how little trust they deserve.

    Let someone else suck their dick cause they may pay Bernie lip service… vs decades of voting data and the harm their very political participation has caused? You’d have to be stupid to start fawning over them now. Let them prove it then I’ll say cool. They’ve actively proved otherwise throughout my lifetime so this article ain’t moving the needle.

      I just literally told you that some of the now reddest states used to be blue and literally instigated insurrections to stick it to the man. Just treat them decently and they will abandon Trump. The fight isn’t over and the democratic party right now is changing. You don’t see it cause nobody reports about it but Bernie is literally talking with ‘the deplorables’ and winning them back on reason and sympathy. That is amazing. And MAGA has nothing to fight that but ignorance and outrage farming.

        How far back are you looking? Just at Florida, which was turned red by a sea of geriatrics that doubled the state’s population over the past 30 years? Or further than that where the south was governed by Dixiecrats who just turned Republican when the Democratic party stopped being cool with Jim Crow?

        Oh yea I’m sure they will, just like after Bush crashed the economy… just like after Trump’s first term… just like when my magic fairy?

          This is not about a miracle cure for their issues. This is about awareness for who understands their issues. Even the most basic coal worker understands that a politician cannot just swing a wand and fix their issues. But they also understand that not giving tax breaks to billionaires but to them would go a long way.

            Totally true, they have shown a historical trend AWAY from awareness… so why should I trust them to be aware now? Even the most basic coal worker has not understood these issues for DECADES FOR FUCKS SAKE. All while voting in republicans to take it worse.

            If they want to be different they needed to vote differently BEFORE now. Until then why not assume they will vote the same?

              Have you even read what I posted? Have you looked into their history and voting behaviour?

              You commit the exact error of dismissal that made them vote red. Bravo.

                Yea I personally made them vote red. Thats the issue here… have you read what I said? There are decades of behavior contradicting you…

                On top of that are you saying a simple dismissal is what makes folks act that way…? Clearly I guess you think it’s not their fault… it’s my dismissal… the snowflakes… no accountability there…

                Simply delete my account and we can have a utopia… Bravo with a fucking mindset thinner than paper…

                    Totally, believing you is.

                    I’m glad you understand that. There’s nothing I’m saying otherwise but you’ve landed yourself into a corner where you have to be a defeatist to even entertain the bullshit you’ve flooded this place with in the mean time.

      Where were your kin at the Battle of Blair Mountain? Why’d you let California vote for Reagan? See how unhelpful these criticisms are.

        I’m not criticizing the battle of whatever I’m criticizing every vote after the fact.

        Why Cali elected Reagan is nothing when you look at California SINCE THEN.

        Tell me about Appalachia or Kentucky since then…
