"It is imperative that the Democratic party shows that they can be empathetic to the multiple cultures of America."
But why don't Republicans ever have to show this? Why doesn't anyone ever complain that McCain & co "just don't get" well-educated, cosmopolitan, urban voters? And heaven forbid any politician should ever express sympathy for atheists.
What percentage of the country lives in small towns these days, anyway? Millions of us have left that life to seek education and opportunities in urban centers. How did it come to pass that we became "not real Americans"?
