This has been one of my pet peeves since the election. If you don't live in a small town, or in middle Americas, or if you're not white working class

then you are not out of touch with 'America'.

No.

Those people are America, yes. So am I. So is the black working class that has been ignored as part of these port-mortems. So are people in live in metro suburbs.

Metling pot, remember? Saying one group is the 'real America' is bullshit

- Working class is far broader than just manufacturing, but yes -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:15 3
  - Would entry level service industry jobs count? Like working a fast food register. -- nm - Max Dec 12, 10:21 1
    - If you did it in high school/college, I'd say no. If you do it as your career, I would think so. -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:24
