83. how stupid are democrats on this site?

I am a very hard working democrat, working for causes to help the people of this country. I find these negative comments and the holier than thou attitude to Be one of the chief obstacles to democrats accomplishing anything. Most of my adult life I have heard from ignorants like many who post on the site that hillbillies are lazy, that they are dumb, that they are all inbred, that they beat their wives, that they are racist. I guess growing up in Appalachia, I should have acquired all those characteristics, as should most of my relatives who still live in Harlan county , Kentucky. It is not true about my family there and we never spent our days making fun of the poor, the sick , or the uneducated. In fact, we recognized long ago that the type of prejudice so many of the posters subscribe to is exactly what the KKK uses for recruitment. In other words appeals to elitism among those who have been slapped down in some fashion , whether it be due to locale, job loss, lack of health, lack of education. Yes many people want to look down on others, whether others be a different race, a different ethnicity, or from other geographic areas of the USA. But when you sanction a prejudice against a group of poor whites who have had less education maybe and been controlled by the 1 percent for generations in terms of jobs, housing and medical care, are you any different. Sometimes people from areas outside Appalachia just make me sick with their belief they are somehow better. Hell they remind me of the republicans, wanting to blame the poor and the sick for loss of jobs etc. Shame on you . Those of you who write such condescending drivel have little knowledge of what it is to be a real democrat. IOU are much of what is holding the democratic party back. You talk loudly about helping the poor and the sick, but every time things do not go your way due to other oppressions they are reacting to, you turn on them like an estranged loved. wake up and understand what the reality is and work to improve. Quit whining. They don't.
