2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Lucia Graves is a pathetic hack who dismisses the votes of desperate, poor WV voters in her column [View all]jwirr
(39,215 posts)23. Have tears in my eyes. I remember those years from watching
the campaigns of those Democrats and more. I also benefited from all those programs that they are trying to get rid of now. And it is particularly heart breaking that it is all happening again.
What is wrong with the greedy people of this nation that they can set back and watch this happen when they could be doing something? But it is not just the greed - it is the elected officials of those states that ignore the problems.
The one hope I see is that the people of this southern state saw fit to reject the establishment and vote for Bernie. I do not know what needs to be done to fix this newest mess but I do not think that status quo is going to be it.

You must be lost; it appears your post doesn't address any of the substance of my OP

Well....that was awkward. The first post of the thread kinda blew your point to bits.

White women also voted for Bernie. Nice try at using the horrid "white male" as an excuse.

I choose to characterize it as false. Sanders won white women in WV. Epic fail on your part.

Clinton supporters care only about her majesty. No wonder she reeks of entitlement

A reminder: Hillary was the first to come out to say that the people who kept our lights on

I didn't say HRC was a terrible awful person, nor was that the point of the OP
