I saw a media talking head interview a black man coming out of a GOP rally, and he was asking him (incredulously) how he could even go there "as a black man" (you see, the democrats OWN them, like slaves)
The man said "We've been voting democrat for years. Maybe it's time we stop thinking that we're poor, so we must vote Democrat, and start thinking maybe we're poor BECAUSE we vote democrat."
I thought the reporter was going to faint.
If you have a political party whose power base is poor, oppressed, marginalized, uneducated people, you are going to make damn sure you NEVER RUN OUT of poor, oppressed, marginalized, uneducated people.......................
