i know i'm preaching to the choir here but this election is a perfect illustration of why we need to NOT be condescending or alienating to people who live in rural areas, are working class, do manual labor, don't have college degrees, etc etc

it can only help us if those people come to see the left as people who will respect them and take them seriously. mainstream democrats being condescending to them is one of the reasons why they're flocking to trump

@veronica that being said, I am under no obligation to be nice to anyone who fundamentally see me as lesser for being trans or Hispanic. Hardcore magats can fuck off into the sun
