As with many of the political elites , you are incredibly out of touch with reality . 72 . 4 % of the population is white . They aren ' t going anywhere . You are preaching a losing strategy for a dying party . We need to reconnect to the working class with a heavy dose of populism . <| sep |> I ' m in my 30 s , not married yet , although I ' ve had a few serious longterm relationships . I still find it hard to talk to my mother when dating someone . My entire life she made me feel so weird about dating . I ' d be 22 years old , and she would act all , Awwww , do you have a giiiiirlfriend ? As if I were 12 . Even somewhat recently , she ' ll ask if I had any umm . meetings with any women . Fuck mom , they are called dates , and no , I haven ' t had any in a couple months , thanks . I realized a few years back that I was seriously psychologically stunted in regards to dating by her . I ' m not sure where this comes from , either . My parents are awesome in just about all other respects . Wellrounded , not judgey , I can usually talk to them about anything else . She ' s gotten much better recently , but it did take me blowing up at her over the phone for that to happen . I love her to death , but damn , I wish I had felt more at ease with dating 20 years ago .
