====================================
Because these are conservative workers who oppose unions and the rights of 
women, blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups, and are the most 
infected by pro-capitalist and pro-imperialist ideology. We'd have very 
little to discuss and support in common. They're mostly found in small 
cities and towns. The Democratic base is concentrated in the liberal and 
cosmopolitan big cities, and they would be much more likely to move to the 
left, given the right circumstances, than conservative men and women in 
small town America.
