(94,688 posts)....and it's just sophistry to claim he believed or was expressing that we didn't need WC voters.
Moreover, I'd challenge anyone to find any significant number of voters who read or heard that quote. It's the height of navelgazing, and actually just gobbling up deliberate media fuckery against Democrats and regurgitating it to party supporters.
To what end?
Yeah, sure. I'm supposed to believe that people voted for Trump because, they heard what Schumer said, and they believed that republicans, who've been screwing the working class for decades and decades, believed the grifting Trump and his country club party cared more about them and voted against Democrats for that inanity?
The 'working-class' meme was a euphemism used to describe white supremacist voters who the republicans convinced blacks and immigrants were keeping them from opportunity, instead of the republicans robbing them blind.
The fact that it's being thrown around like it has some deep meaning other than a Klan dog-whistle is really something to behold for this old, black voter.
They voted against the black woman, while their republican party campaigned against the Democratic president and party that lifted the working class up out of the economic mire of EVERY modern republican president in my lifetime.
People who claimed to support blcaks, migrants, and women sat on their hands, and the racists flooded the polls like they flooded the capitol.
