it would not surprise me, but that is because of a learned white guilt complex of entitlement that seems to be a thing with populist-minded people.

innamorato is crazy popular, though. she is pretty and seemingly personable. do her supporters KNOW how dangerous her policies are? it is all about transfer of wealth - not supporting the generation of wealth. and, that transfer is from people in her constituency who might have put in so much time to get ahead somewhat.

there is absolutely NO counter-voice to people like her. at least, no voice that is public, that challengers her and her ilk. none. we are now in a quasi-socialist era and drifting more towards those policies.

and from that link, i quote:

"Racism, classism, misogyny, bigotry exist in America, it exists in PA, it exists in our backyard, and oftentimes those types of bigotry aren't rooted in hatred against that group, but rather people working really hard and feeling they can't get ahead," she said.

now call me a grammar nazi....but wtf? she is just trying to backstep on this and hope some trash will confuse the proletariat and get this monkey off her back.

but look - they ALL say dumb things. i say again - it was the current VP that YELLED like a banshee in the debates to Joebi "YOURE A RACIST! YOURE A RACIST, JOE!"

so, you know, i wouldn't put too much into poor Sarah's myopic view on working class whites and her perceptions of them. rather, its what she proposes (basically, warfare against the achieving/self-reliant middle class) that is enough to know shes too dumb.
