2016 Postmortem

The Republicans aren't exactly working class either. They talk a real good game while constantly sucking the life from these people, and that's just alright for their voters. The folks you are talking to in these rural areas have put Republicans in charge of most things out where they are.

You say they feel lie there is no difference between the parties? So why do they overwhelmingly keep Republicans in power? How are you going to get somebody to vote a full Democratic ticket when they so clearly refuse to do so no matter what happens? What do we say to people like that other than we are going to give you every single thing you want irregardless of it's impossibility or economic blowback?

Obama ran on hope and change and got zero help from Republicans and zero help from his own party for a nice chunk of his time in office. If they didn't get the change it's their own damn faults for not putting in people that wouldn't do anything but obstruct, denigrate, propagandize and generally work hard at keeping their voters in the dark and ignorant.
