[Mouldy Old Schmo]

Rich yuppies and poorer folks in the Democratic Party don’t always agree.

The Dems divided so many people into classes ( always victims ) its only natural to expect them to catabolize each other at some time.

Catabolism is a scientific term. Basically means breaking down something complex into smaller, simpler components. Metaphorically correct in this instance.

“For people on the left, the fact that black and Hispanic voters aren’t with them on everything is a huge source of embarrassment,"

Democrats have traditionally been an unwieldy coalition of outgroups.

Republicans have always been the party of the American plurality that has shared values.

Democrats outnumber Republicans, but Republicans are more unified.

It's been this way since after the civil war.

The main question. Who is the "Silent Majority"
2010 exposed a clue.

These white guilt elitist liberals are so racist. It's like they see blacks and Hispanics as another species they have to help and save, a dependent class who don't know what is best for them. Conservatives and old school democrats just want everyone to have the opportunity to help themselves and they are the ones called racist or out of touch.

Equal Opportunity - Trump
Equal Outcomes - DNC


One eliminates the other.
There can never be both.
