Showing Original Post only (View all)Kasich says "we need to listen to rural America". I think I've listened enough. [View all]
So John Kasich was just on CNN saying that he thinks Biden will win, but that we are so divided we need to listen to each other.
He then went on to talk about NOTHING but listening to "rural America".
The thought that Retrumplicans need to "listen" to urban America never crossed his mind.
So, let's look at what democrats have done for rural America.
It was the Democratic Party that provided electricity to their homes and towns.
It was the Democratic Party that provided them roads to better get their goods to market.
It was the Democratic Party that saw their elderly starving and gave them Social Security.
It was the Democratic Party that gave them Medicare and Medicaid so that they didn't have to die in their late 40's from treatable and preventable disease.
It was the Democratic Party that ensured their children had access to education.
There's more, but here's my point.
For all that the Democratic Party has done, we asked for ONE thing in return.
We asked that they please acknowledge that black and brown Americans were just as American and just as entitled to the freedoms and opportunity of America as they are
That appears to be too much to ask, so forgive me if I'm about DONE "listening"!
