They didn't engage in as much inbreeding and therefore have less defective genes.
ROMNEY-CLINTON VOTERS ARE AWESOME AMAZING COSMOPOLITAN PEOPLE WHO ARE NICE AND JUST WANT A REASONABLE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT DOESN'T STAND FOR ANY ECONOMIC POLICY AMIRITE!?!?!
I wouldn't expect anyone on this 100% white and male forum to understand, but I'd be happy to talk about progressive economic policy after people like you stop coddling those with horrifying views.
Pursuing Romney-Clinton voters means abandoning progressive economic policy.
No. We don't have to abandon that to win their vote. Why would they vote for the party that demonizes them as "coastal elites"?
LOL, "coastal elites" refers to DC lobbyists, media personalities in the Beltway and NYC, etc .... not a family making $400k per year in Westchester. That should be quite obvious.
It certainly refers to a family making $400k in Manhattan, though. When the term is used, I do not get the sense that it refers to a small group of people within the coastal cities. In fact, I think those using the term would also group in an individual from Manhattan or DC making $40k and the people using the term would probably perceive that the person makes a lot more than $40k if they met them.
It has much more to do with culture than with wealth or power, in my opinion.
"Coastal elites" is a dog whistle for "Jews," and always has been.
