We make it an economic issue but they make it a racial issue when it doesn't even make sense in context.


All they have is identity politics on the mind 24/7.
It's because it doesn't affect them like it does for people in the middle class.

I didn't say he was "any less of a winner". I said she was a terrible choice for the Democrats.

You do seem a little sensitive and defensive to me. Do you need a therapy dog?

You're right. They don't feel it. The Dems have become the corporate party. I mean I knew something was up when a bunch of Wall ST bankers rooted for her. Since when has it been cool for an I-banker to vote Democrat? That's what I call a sell out party.


Clinton I believe is even in favor or at least mildly supportive of H1B visas. So even white collar managerial jobs mean nothing to her.


And why am I only talking to people such as you katy who already know this? LOL.


Why don't the libs and progressives ever respond when this is brought up? Do they seriously not know this?

If it's a fact, then you can prove it. If you can't, then it's not a fact.

So, which?

Sure. I suspect that the whole incident described in the OP was "imagined", if you know what I mean.

I'm from Long Island. He's right. My "proof" is that I grew up with a sense of hearing.

Why? I didn't claim that "we already know illegals voted in California". You did.

If you can't prove it, that's OK.

He needs it written in the NY Times by columnist Thomas Friedman or Paul Krugman otherwise it never happened.

So you say. Your possibly-concocted anecdotes of "hearing" don't constitute proof.

If you don't have any evidence, just say so.
