So a more appropriate title would be "The Issue of Mainstream Voters," however seeing from my last blog post that a lot of you kiddies are assholes I figure a good clincher title would get you in here. Well on with the show!
I was recently looking at a voter map of the US that showed how states swung in the '00 and '04 elections and noticed that while Michigan went Gore and Kerry respectively, most of the state's suburban and rural counties went Bush both times. Now having relatives in the Michigan area I've noticed that most of it's citizens aren't voting on the basis of social issues like abortion and whatnot. Most people who swung Bush voted on an economic and foreign policy agenda. For the last eight years Michigan residents have been taking it from behind becuase of free market policy and slow uptake on progressive energy policy and yet they are still voting Republican. Why?
Let's get right down to it. White people only vote for two reasons: they feel guilty or they feel ashamed. Now when I say white people it would be appropriate to define them as Left wing tax and spend middle class liberals and poor conservatives. These two groups will constantly vote against their own favor to alleviate these symptoms. Poor conservatives want to associate themselves with the upper class party leaders because it makes them feel better about their economic situation. Liberals, ie people in Seattle and most of California feel guilty about their prejudging of African Americans and are embarrassed about how their WASP relatives on the East Coast have been acting. They consistently vote to pour their tax dollars into programs that don't actually change the social structure of society but help us all sleep at night.
Now no one likes people who say everything is wrong and then don't give a solution so here's something for you to think over. My fast track way to end both bigotry and intercity violence is rallying rural white poor and minority poor together and through education and services rasing them out of their destitute living conditions. But more on that later

As always, Discuss.

PS the person that left a 1/5 on my last blog post,
Fuck you. Grow some fucking balls its the internet people can't actually get back at you physically don't be such a liitle wuss

If you found out who gave you the one star? Would you REALLY "get back at them physically" for doing such a horrible thing?

So the start of this blog calls everyone an asshole. The end says "fuck you" to an anonymous person for giving you a 1/5 on the blog.

That was all I read.

You sir have a lot of learning to do before becoming any kind of a poster that people care about around here or somewhere else.

Yes, the only reason why people vote is because of white guilt.

I gave a 3/5 didn't really read it, but would feel somewhat guilty if you hung yourself in your closet. I can consolidate myself for being only 40% responsible seeing that its not really on the passing in regards to it was your fault or you contributed to his suicide scale.

Haha no I saw it, that was hilarious. You're right, it seriously pissed off almost everyone until they figured out what was going on. A big difference here though is that it isn't funny and no joke.
btw, how many people still believe that Idra wrote that?

It got linked to 3 different websites. I revealed that it was me posting on IdrA's account on page 3 or so.. it went for 20+ pages. Things like that blog and the facebook thread are nice reminders that the general populace of TL.net or really any forum is still retarded and easily manipulated. I don't have an answer for your question but that blog humbled a lot of people.. or at least gave them the chance to self reflect.

Yeah, I'm from Michigan and I totally don't know what he's babbling about. Michigan voters still voting Republican? No. Granholm won twice, Gore won, Kerry won, Obama will win.

And yeah, I didn't really fully interpret anything this guy wrote, for his delivery was far from interesting or respectful.

1/5, out of spite.

At least in the idrA blog I felt like I knew what he was talking about. Here...not so much.

1/5, not because it's trendy, but because it's right.

The stars aren't for you, they are for would-be readers to let them know whether or not they should waste their time reading your blog, so there is no reason to 'back it up'.

actually, probably far more than 3 different websites. the korean representatives from ygosu.com asked me about that particular thread, and greg being bm.

i know it was all a joke and everything, but the korean community believes that idra wrote that thread and that he is very bm.

1/5, becuase the content is trash. An infantile half second peep at voting trends, a glib and unconvincing dismissal of social programs, and followed by a promise of a solution that's probably just as terrible as everything else you've written. That's not even counting the invective that starts and finishes it. Would be a complete waste of time, except for the enjoyment I get out of criticizing it.
