I am very confused. Will the DNC continue to walk away from rural America, thus our district, or will it open its eyes and look in the mirror? My bet is that nothing will change, and we will continue to lose elections by larger and larger numbers in our county and congressional district.
Why do the leaders of unions support our party, but the rank-and-file members don’t? Why do white men like me get called privileged white males when we disagree? Are we hated? Would explain a lot. Tough to win if you hate those you are trying to represent.
I am calling for a change in direction. We must get back to working for the voters. Listen to them instead of pushing the national agenda. Work for them, not party leaders. They are tired of being told “the economy is great, you just don’t understand that it’s great,” basically calling them stupid. They want us to listen to them and work for them.
Get out of your bubble and listen to the people. Stop believing getting two more votes per polling location is the goal and win elections in our county and district again.
Sorry, but this privileged white male had to vent. Have a great holiday season with all your family members. Don’t talk politics. Talk about family and be thankful we live in America.
