[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm honestly scared for my Gen Alpha kids and the mess they're inheriting. Schools are underfunded, healthcare is a joke unless you're rich, and more basic rights are getting chipped away every day. Meanwhile billionaires hoard everything and politicians only care about their own interests instead of actually doing anything. Climate change is getting worse and half the country still acts like it's not real. I don't want my kids growing up thinking this is normal. I want them to believe in a country that actually cares about people, not just profits. But right now, it’s hard to feel hopeful. And that's just the surface. I'm not even going to start talking about the economy they'll inherit.[/quote]

it is not just the billionaires.   the middle class is disappearing.   we have the educated elites consuming most of the resources and [b]the working poor, i.e. the deplorables,[/b] doing worse and worse.

really it is the people like DCUM that are a major part of the problem.   Pushing for more and more immigration , to lower wages even further.   while complaining about a fed job making over $252,000 but no raise one year.

I don't see it ending well. [/quote]

Hillary was very specific in referring to "the deplorables" as the racists and xenophobes. In the very same quote you are referring to, she said:
[i]
"But the other basket, the other basket, and I know because I see friends from all over America here. I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas, as well as you know New York and California. But that other basket of people who are people who feel that government has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they are just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."[/i]

So let's stop with the false narrative that she was referring to ALL Trump supporters or all working poor as deplorable. That isn't what she said and you know what, she was spot on in what she said.[/quote]
