I'm beginning to see the gap as unbridgeable.

129. Maybe this?

I feel just the way you do, just as perplexed, but that's because we're thinking that we want the same total as them, but it's just the differences on how to get there. Like we say it's 2+2 is the best way to get to 4, and they say it's 3+1. Well maybe they don't want the same we do.

"What does it mean to be a Democrat and support corperatism over worker's rights? I hear no substantive plan from her to bring jobs back to the U.S. My union endorsed her, and I feel she is anti-labor."

" I gotta say, I don't understand what's going on.are her supporters white collar types who believe in deregulation and the elimination of taxation for corperations? This seems insane to me. She's willing to find middle ground with the pro-life movement? Fuck that shit. Seriously, I just don't get it."

In their stations in life they see their view as win-win: They get to play social do-gooder, and the conservative economic policies are good for their portfolios.

It may be this: Bias against working class "union democrat" types because they have a stigmatized image of them as benighted socially conservative hardhat types. "Reagan Democrats" if you will, and so they don't hold us the working class in very high regard. Really, they don't like us. We have it too good, they say. This seems to be the overtones I've sensed from many third-way types here.
