For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class.

All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.

The Democrat party has effectively positioned itself as the "party of the aggrieved", and is intent to use the mechanisms of government to bring about whatever social change it sees fit. The constitution is an impediment to this agenda, thus we first get the "nuclear option" employed by Harry Reid in the Senate, followed by a president with a "pen and a phone" who will do whatever he can to spirit the agenda forward.

How the hell did he win Ohio without white working class votes...?

Actually, if we're going to go there, the GOP is the "Party of the Aggrieved". I've never met so many whiney, victimized white folks in my life until the last five years. I can't believe anybody would even think otherwise. You'd have to be stone deaf and totally brain dead to not notice all of the panicky, bitchy, crybaby bullshit coming from our Caucasian bruthas and sistas.

For real. Am I alone in this observation? Wassup?

Nope. Not alone at all. That's why I posted up a picture of Glenn Beck, the most pitiful white boy of them all.

Is that anything like spilling whine on the facts machine?

Heh, good 'un. I suspect that Beck's idea of a selfie is to sit on the scanner glass.
