you're not attacking who you think you are

[The Wandering Harper]

or at least I hope not, when you use someone's lack of teeth as an insult or indicator of character.
You're mostly attacking poor people. Is that what the Democratic party represents?
My mother was an enthusiastic Democrat,
and went to her deathbed with not a tooth in her head

1. Exactly, Democrats come in all varieties

Some did not attend college,

Some didn’t graduate from high school like my father but he knew how to build houses, read blueprints, and yet he left school when he was 17.

I’ve never been a fan of making fun of people, especially those with a disability that comes with aging.


Thank you for bringing this discussion up to everyone’s awareness.

2. Who attacked someone's lack of teeth?

I managed to miss that.

8. I've seen many over the years

despite this account being fairly new I've been here since just after 9/11/01
saw it most recently several days ago, don't remember who it was or what thread it was

3. We're not immune to stereotypes and ignorance.

Particularly where Trump, the GOP and his supporters are concerned.

It's easier for some to try to lump people into nice, neat boxes than to attempt to understand that supporters and non-supporters both include people from all walks of life and all types of people.

4. I missed that one. Who would think that lack of teeth would be an indicator of character?

5. I said witless not toothless. It isn't poor and working folks fault the dental system

makes the medical system look like heaven but you also get millions of dollars for your trouble of having to walk on streets of gold with diamonds on the soles of your shoes.

Hell, the next time you see me with a head full of them again, lord willing, they will just be the best my money could buy.

6. I think I get ya: older voters, vulnerable, afraid, reliant on Social Security, did not cause this...

Their vulnerability was exploited. Our party did not offer much security or a reason to win their hearts and minds. Sad.

13. when she arrived at the nursing home

she had dentures.
One day one of the aides dropped them and they broke.
They were unable or unwilling to repair or replace them

10. If you can afford one get a surveillance camera and before Jan

It’s important we document people’s behaviors. These people are not rational. We have to be proactive and prepared for whatever evil has been unleashed and approved by the low information voters.
