I'm sick of DU's anti-labor contingent and its West Virginia bashing, coal miner bashing, steel worker bashing, rural America bashing, etc. The Bashers NEVER answer how they plan on winning back the White House without PA, MI and WI. Hillary won the popular vote? Big Fucking Deal. It didn't put her in the White House. And thank God for Bernie Sanders (and Chris Hayes!) for going into deep red areas with local politicians to actually talk -- and listen -- to voters. Democrats fully control only SIX states. Just how many more voters do the Bashers think they can alienate?
