151. I've not seen a single Clinton supporter who gives a shit about working people

I see a lot of you who make some useless fucking mouth noises about it but when it comes time to put rubber to pavement, all of you are gone. Poof. Your candidate has lots of time for exploiters, though. All the time and space in the world for people who count pocket change in large bills. But when it comes to the working people who make all that possible? Tch. She's done fucked off. Got no time for us, except to undercut our efforts, when we put our jobs on the line to demand better pay. Unlike Ms. Clinton, when we lose our jobs we don't have millions and millions in assets, but we are "dead broke."

As in, some of us actually die from being broke.

Next time you want to talk working class, how about you live it, instead of just reading tumblr and thinking you know what you're going on about.
