(8,790 posts)But its true. We don't like to use the term but these places are run down, there is little hope for the people crammed in them, there's little to no investment in these places to improve things. Changing the word doesn't change reality.
The same is true for poor rural counties. On paper I see no difference between the two areas except where they are placed on a map.
The Dems are often lectured that we only pay attention to inner city people when its election time, and the truth is the GOP does the same for its country areas. They improve nothing there.
If the Democrats did improve things for the working class and poor, and spent time in those places showing them how we helped, we'd be unstoppable nationally.
Ignore the RW hate radio and the snake talking preachers, we need only show them we are for them.
