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.Southerndawg said:Elitist dem gonna elitist dem.

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.

Farming has gone high tech.
-
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. -
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. -

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

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. -

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.ThomasFremont said:

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 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.
-
Since it was so important that farmers only make up only 1% of the workforce, I wonder what percentage Black and Latinos account for in the Population AND the Democrat Electorate?🤔

I’m not upset. You are delusional if you think I’m making your point. Your point was idiotic. I’m not mad either. Being a former teacher ignorance like yours is what I fought against. Your posts are usually inane and superfluous. Tom you need to get a life and go somewhere where you can rid yourself of that loser bullshit lib narrative that you have to protect at all costs. None of these complete progressive morons is going to beat Trump. Bloomberg is a symptom of a hackneyed party that is past it’s pull date.

Trump is also an arrogant condescending elites prick. The difference: The majority of the Republican voting base loves his policies and find his triggering of the left refreshing. Bloomberg is trying to get votes from the same people already offended by Trump. Not a winning strategy.DJDuck said:I don’t think we needed him to tell us that.

Just a little off on that analysis panda. And I don’t think this thread is about comparisons. It is about Bloomberg. Unlike myself you haven’t shown any of Trump’s condescension. But then you would be obfuscating to change the subject to what you want to talk about.

Paul Harvey:
“And on the 8th day God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker!”. So, God made a farmer!
God said I need somebody to get up before dawn and milk cows and work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board. So, God made a farmer!
I need somebody with strong arms. Strong enough to rustle a calf, yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry and have to wait for lunch until his wife is done feeding and visiting with the ladies and telling them to be sure to come back real soon…and mean it. So, God made a farmer!
God said “I need somebody that can shape an ax handle, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire make a harness out of hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And…who, at planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty hour week by Tuesday noon. Then, pain’n from “tractor back”, put in another seventy two hours. So, God made a farmer!
God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop on mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor’s place. So, God made a farmer!
God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees, heave bails and yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink combed pullets…and who will stop his mower for an hour to mend the broken leg of a meadow lark. So, God made a farmer!
It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight…and not cut corners. Somebody to seed and weed, feed and breed…and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody to replenish the self feeder and then finish a hard days work with a five mile drive to church. Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who’d laugh and then sigh…and then respond with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life “doing what dad does”. So, God made a farmer!” -

I said Bloomberg has bigger problems. None of which has anything to do with beating Trump (he won’t) or the state of the Democratic Party (which sucks).
Stop getting so upset and actually read what I said. I’m agreeing with you. But you’re too tilted to notice.
