    Jokes aside, let us not forget that many of these people voted blue through gritted teeth in direct opposition to Trump. Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal for their votes. They will 100% go back red on the next election if and when Trump and his cronies are not on the ballot, unless the Dems can take advantage of this situation and show some actual fucking leadership and demonstrate why their choose was a good one. This is not a time for complacency. We won a lap, not the whole race.

      NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.

      It’s just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s

      Don’t hold your breath. Corporate-Dems think they won and this is a clear sign that poor people want neoliberalism and elitist “progressiveisms”.

        Can you share what neoliberalism or elitist progressivism means to you?

        I understand how to parse the words, but it’s just a nonsense label to ideas you don’t like. You also can’t really label any group as both “poor” and “elitist” at the same time.

          I didn’t label any 1 group as both poor and elitist at the same time.

          What’s your strongest language?

      Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal

      What do these people have against liberty? Don’t they like freedom?
