Peter Hamby: “Trump stumbled into understanding something crucial about the electorate, which is this: There are plenty of divisions in our conventional wisdom—insider versus outsider, progressive versus moderate, young versus old—but one of the biggest splits in American politics is simply between those who follow politics closely and those who do not.” “It’s a split that maps, if not perfectly, onto the gap that emerged between college and non-college educated voters in 2016. The latter set are often low-information voters who view politicians and media with contempt, deciding to sit elections out. Trump has exploited them to powerful effect. The president has made politics about culture—not just policy. He found a way to attract new voters, particularly rural and non-college educated whites who previously thumbed their nose at conventional politics. Because he’s a pure attention merchant, he doesn’t care what screen he appears on, as long he is there. Because he lacks an ounce of shame, it all works, with or without the blessing of the legacy press.” “None of the above can be said for Democrats, who care habitually about the good graces of the national press, and who don’t see politics as a subspecies of the entertainment business.”
Democrats have focused more on capitalizing on the other side of zero information voters, woke culture, which certainly has given many of us plenty of entertainment. Did you happen to catch the primaries in 2016 and the current debates? If you took a drink every time someone virtue signaled you'd have alcohol poisoning before the first break. Coming from experience college doesn't confer much critical thinking when you spend your time campaigning for whatever candidate lets you smoke weed, and parrots whatever you heard in your social justice classes. Just like I don't think the hillbillies have a great grasp on the nuance of politics, I don't think college educated woke 20-somethings do either. Both are addicted to the fear politics cycle. Two sides of the same coin.
The only Democrat running on capturing Rose twitter is Bernie Sanders who isn't even a Democrat. You can't seriously be telling me that Joe Biden who is leading the polls is part of the woke culture - or Obama who was a Dem president for 8 years who directly attacked the woke culture. You are being disingenuous here pretending both sides are equal when they clearly are not. Imagine using 'virtue signaling' as an insult when that's all what right wingers do with their anti abortion and gay nonsense. Few days ago you were whining about some fake news about 'Never Trumpers' attacking some kid because of a MAGA hat, when it was pointed out to you, you never responded to it. I doubt you are well informed about the politics given all that. Trying to pretend both sides are equal is why a moron like Trump is in office in the first place.
It's strange hearing you tell me I'm not well informed on politics when you have Trump in make up as your profile picture. Perhaps you may be one of those zero information voters afterall...
You quoted a fake news article being circulated by low info voters, a profile picture is not supposed to be a piece of factual information but posting an article and passing judgement on it is. Your logic is asinine, how is taking a clear piece of fake news online same as a random profile picture? Also you didn't address any of my points, mainstream Democrats are not embracing the extreme left SJWs you keep talking about, they are openly distancing themselves from that toxic group. Next time try to be bit more rational in your posts instead of the low effort you just demonstrated.
Cardi B is not a Democrat running for office, should I post all the Nazis that praise Trump and support right wing causes? Another dumb disingenuous post by the resident hick.
Democrats don't elect fake university scammers and kid cancer charity money and rally behind a trust fund baby with declining cognitive abilities. That's your specialty Trumptard.
