    That’s the frustrating part I’m a straight white guy from one of the most rural places east of the Mississippi but dems keep telling me what I really want is a neoliberal who will cut benefits from my neighbors.

    Hard being a redneck lefty, definitely learned to not like people who weren’t like us growing up but I always thought that meant rich people.

      Yeah, redneck lefty as well. Seeing Kamala parade around with the Cheneys felt like a personal attack to people like us

      “Here’s a Cheney, you dumb poors in dying rust belt towns like the Cheneys right? Vote for us because we found some republicans that endorsed us! See, we’re not so scary!”

        It’s especially frustrating being from rural new york because I know everybody around me correctly thought Trump was a dumbass city con artist who didnt pay contractors. Until he got really explicit with the racism and they suddenly all started supporting him.
