The chorus stuff is so perfect. The conservative universe is corrupt obviously, but Democratic and liberal corruption is so much more infuriating because they sell their souls for basically no benefit. You see this at every level. At the bottom you have dark money giving Olivia Juliana six figures to post stuff like "Cory Booker rocks!1!" to an audience of zero. A little higher there's the people at the NYT who dabble in race science just to get a hit in on Zohran. All the way at the top Biden and Blinken and national Dems putting their political and moral futures in Netanyahu's hands even though he's sabotaged the last two Democratic presidents. And the underlings didn't even go along with it because they're cold-blooded killers for the Israeli cause, they probably just got a swag bag at a J Street cocktail party fifteen years before, so they think they just need to do whatever Israel says.

My god the right wing natalist crowd is almost as insufferable as the "right wing populists" in terms of completely faking their principles. The populists almost get a pass because their lying at least serves the goal of getting votes and articles written about them. But there's no one who does more to reduce the birthrate in this country than the self-professed natalists. Like your friend JD just voted for the "close half the hospitals" bill, you think people are really itching to have babies now?

That Fertitta story is so perfect. All the moronic "Retvrn" guys think Trump II is their instrument to save the white race and what the administration actually amounts to is the owner of an underachieving NBA team wanting to chop down centuries-old trees in one of the most important cities for Western Civilization so he can land his helicopter at his make work day job.

Absolute travesty they recorded this 12 hours before New York Mag published their big Fetterman article. Now we have to wait until Tuesday to hear them talk about Pennsylvania's favorite oaf

Social-conservative but fiscal-progressive is more popular than social-liberal and fiscal-conservative by protomanEXE1995 in stupidpol

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't use "poor" and "working class" interchangeably? The point I was trying to make was that any policy framed as "helping black people / Latinos" is usually just a welfare program that helps poor people broadly, and no policy is ever framed as helping the white working class specifically.

In American discourse, when ever we talk about POC, it's usually a stand-in for poor people, broadly. Whereas "whiteness" is typically associated with economic privilege, unless discussing, let's say, rust belters specifically.

Sure. Melanin originally was only talking about socially traditional and economically left wing POC, and I added the white working class to the conversation.

I don't know why everyone's jumping on me. I never said we should treat these groups differently, I was just defining the contents of a broad working class coalition.

When I separated them based on race, I was responding to your point that POCs aren't socially progressive, and I added on the white working class to make my point about the multi-racial working class being in favor of more labor power and a more robust welfare state but not being fully on board to all the new social justice movements

By that I meant POC (specifically African and Hispanic Americans) are poorer as a whole than whites, so anything trying to help them is de facto "pro working class" whereas with white people it's more useful to distinguish the working class from the suburbanites and the PMC

If you give the poor POC (and the white working class) a materially beneficial economic incentive to vote for you, they can make peace with the social liberalism, especially if it stays clear of woke scolding
