What should poor and working class minorities be pressing their elected officials for? A national healthcare, better jobs (not $15 per hour) better pre school mentoring/education for fatherless children.

What do the Democratic sharks do? They distract them with BS racism garbage that means nothing to anyone and just wastes everyone’s time. What is the goal of every human being? To make sure their children have a chance at a better life than they have. The Democratic game plan is to keep you down, keep you angry about meaningless baloney and keep your vote. That’s it.

And they DO NOT want you to have healthcare.

I'm sure poor and working class minorities will be grateful that you've taken time out of your busy schedule to correct them and explain what they *really* need. They'll warm to your argument that they aren't worth $15/hr, and should vote for a party that has opposed their interests at every turn for the past 40 years.

No doubt what the poor working class *really need* are tax cuts on capital gains and inheritances over $5.5 million, and better tax treatment for pass-through entities that own real estate assets, and cuts to corporate tax. Republicans know what's good for them, why won't they listen?

What on earth are you rambling on about, got some link or facts that show your claim is true or are you just venting?

Don't forget that the poor need increased military spending.....and they also need wars for them to go out and fight and die in. That is what poor minorities really need....less taxes, more military, more wars...and if not the latter....more private prisons.....as so that YOU can rest easier at night.

See, I heard that what the poor are REALLY clamoring for is cuts to public housing / HUD and cuts to Medicaid.

In fact I've seen plenty of protests lately where they're holding up signs that say "Please cut my healthcare so we can afford corporate income tax cuts."

Yes, and we voted for Hillary, who has dedicated her entire life to helping the poor, families, children and veterans. He has a plan for a job retraining program, create higher skill and higher paying jobs, improve healthcare, and improve education. But the right-wingers rejected her.

What do you want us liberals to do???? Expel all the right-wingers and re-do the election?????

Funny how the Democrats did exactly what you said they do not want.

This is what some really want.

  • For blacks to realize that notwithstanding slavery, Jim Crow, racism, etc, that life in America is a net gain over living in Africa and that blacks should be grateful and less complaining.
  • Blacks should admit that they are good at things like running and jumping, but are not good in things of and dealing with the mind, which is why black IQ scores are lower and why blacks lag socioeconomically.
  • The history of racial oppression is unrelated to current socioeconomic racial inequality and behavior differences. Blacks would still perform below whites even if the histories were all the same.
  • Whites have moved humanity to the place that it is today.
  • Blacks have added little to the advancement of humanity.
  • Without whites, blacks could not survive a descent existence
This is how MANY on the right view blacks subconsciously if not consciously.

The democrats and republicans are the same on their view of the poor and working folks. The dems and pubs are puppets of the wealthy doing their bidding to amass wealth and reduce the quality of life for the least of society. These people have been dumbed down for decades and brainwashed via network television, the news media, and poor schools. They are born into debt and will die in debt. Debt is now the slave owner and does well under either the democrats or republicans.
The average person earning under $20k is not making enough money to open a banking account and if they do the fees are outrageous. This forces the poor to check cashing ripoffs for a large fee and when they need a little extra there is always Title Loans and the like. This is where the poor who may need some money for a sick child hands over the title to their car for a short term 30% loan. These loans can up the interest with some paying as high as 1000%. If they don't pay. The loan company takes their car.
One single mother working at a Dollar General told me she was working three part time jobs because she could not find one full time job. She said, "I make about $300 a week. If they offered me health insurance for $.50 a week I still couldn't afford it."
The people running this country,(both parties), have no idea what it is to be poor but they do know how to scavenge the last dime out of a poor person's pocket.
