It’s awful easy bitching about people actively working to make a difference for not doing it “correctly”. If you’re not willing to take a stand for something, I’m not really interested in your criticism.
It’s not hard to see what the problems are, but why wouldn’t you want a qualified person coming up with the solutions. I’m nowhere near qualified for that job and admitting that doesn’t make my criticism wrong. Coming up with the solution and taking a stand are two very different things.
So is your assumption then that I’m not qualified to have an opinion on how we fix things? Why else would you initially response to damn near the most tame comment I’ve ever made?
Where did I say anything about your qualifications? I replied with my opinion. You said we aren’t reaching working class conservatives cause we aren’t talking to then enough. I said we aren’t reaching them because we aren’t listening to their wants/needs nor offering them anything of substance.
I have lived my whole life and ran for office in the rural south, I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of the resources we need to reach and support working class families. And Ben who has been working (and winning!) in the Midwest probably also has a good idea of their needs.
If you think that’s Chinese propaganda it’s time for you to wake up. Millions of Americans have discovered this last week that everything we’ve been told about China is a lie. Their citizens are living better lives than us and it’s undeniable now.
Chinese people thought their government was telling them propaganda when they said we have to pay for ambulance rides and work two jobs to make ends meet.
I think most of the rhetoric around China is definitely fear mongering, and they’ve done a good job raising people out of poverty. But be real, they’re not exactly a haven for worker’s rights. See 996 (illegal but still often the norm), raising retirement age, forced labor, etc.
