(9,116 posts)...in the same, almost pathological way a teenager is emotionally invested in their favorite rock stars. Rather than take a serious look at what those candidates did or did not do throughout the course of their campaigns, they blame the electorate for not having the "good sense" to vote for the "clear choice", failing completely to understand why others might not see their choice as being particularly clear or sensible.
In other words, it's easier to throw rural folks under the bus than it is to admit your hero fucked up. So under the bus the rural folks will go, despite their being natural allies against the financial elites who have infiltrated the highest offices of the land.
As for my reaction, I suppose I've spent too many hours listening to ignorant people complaining about "city folk".
