Elitist dem gonna elitist dem. Urban centers lap this shit up, the cool kids love to denigrate “flyover country”. It’s ironic that the weakest and truly least informed among us have such a misplaced sense of self worth. An extended power outage without fossil fuel to run backup energy supplies would literally cleanse (by Stalin’s methods) large urban centers.

What these dipshits fail to understand is the United States of America is a republic, a collection of states banded together for the common good. Some bring value in terms of agriculture or natural resources or scenic beauty or whatever....others bring value in terms of diversity and population and trade, for example.

The progs frame everything in terms of 'what we want' without regard to what, at times, is almost the polar opposite of their own agenda. But the balance is the secret sauce of why there aren't 8 different countries in a North American version of Europe.

The Euros fucked it up with the EU taking it too far in trying to govern the individual, cultural and regional interest of the UK - so they left that shitshow.

If the progressive left gets what they want and continues the central-party-knows-best on how to live one's lives, we are fucked. Bloomberg is just the latest in that arrogant mindset.

Individual freedom and liberty is our collective strength.

Fuck you. Growing shit is more science than filling out IRA applications or whatever the fuck administrative shit you do. Control-Alt-Del>>Task Manager>>End program ain't that tough.

Let alone the mechanical aptitude required to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars of machinery operating properly.

Farming has gone high tech.

ThomasFremont

Farming accounts for just a hair over 1% of the labor force. Bloomberg is a elitist idiot, but the idea that these comments will kill his chances is silly.

He has plenty of other things will kill his chances. He won’t even be top 3 in the primary.

DJDuck

Yes it won’t matter a bit in the farm belt to farmers, farm laborers their families and the businesses that depend on farmers in 2020. What a moron.

Actually: Agriculture and its related industries provide 11 percent of U.S. employment. In 2017, 21.6 million full- and part-time jobs were related to the agricultural and food sectors—11.0 percent of total U.S. employment.

I’m sure the percentage is much higher in some of the Midwest swing states.

But of course this would only matter in a close election.

You’re missing the poont.

This is like thing number 459 for why Bloomberg won’t win. I don’t disagree with you, but he has bigger problems.

Agree

Stop and Frisk
Being a Billionaire
Sexual harassment allegations

Are much larger problems he has to deal with. These things need to be dealt with in order to even make it to the championship round. The farmers fiasco is just fodder if he actually gets their in the first place.

Yet they kicked the little yella guy with decent ideas and no TDS to the curb.

You’re missing the point. This isn’t helping the Democrats or him. You are just the typical liberal that just doesn’t get why Trump won and the Democrats are losing the narrative.

If you read Bloomberg’s put down it was not just farmers but also American’s that worked with their hands on machinery. Coupled witth the fact that many Dems want to eliminate Union healthcare programs the damage is much more severe than you admit to.

The middle and working class have seen the arrogance and condescension of the Democrats. Most are fed up with their crap. Bloomberg just reinforced the things they have discovered.

I think his point is that Bloomberg is more than likely not even going to win the primary.

DJDuck

I don’t think we needed him to tell us that. Bloomberg is not just hurting himself BUT is reinforcing stereotypes of Democrats as arrogant condescending elites that only come around every few years to get votes and don’t give a damn about the working and middle class. IMO Trump will get North of 15% of the Black vote in 2020. Blacks are beginning to realize they are being used too. Every slip up like Bloomberg’s and his ilk gives rise to future former Democrats.
