(21,416 posts)Or are you operating on some irrational plane? I agree, some can't be reached. But the error in your argument is you pigeon hole large groups way too much. You're exibiting stereotypical, mental shorthand that's foolish at best. I understand your frustration, but you seem to be arguing from a point of ignorance. People's attitudes everywhere are a continum, like most things in life. We don't need all of them. We just need to make the effort to reach some of them. Just a 3 to 5% swing, a small nudge would have given Clinton NC, period, end of story. PA, MI AND WI were even closer. A 3 to 5% swing in the ex-burb and rural counties of all those states and we'd be talking about a Clinton landslide right now.
But go ahead, rant and rave, stamp your feet and pout, don't put forth any effort and you get exactly what you work for. Despite overwhelming support in urban areas, an orange nightmare in the White House.
