let s be honest here. you mentioned race, gender, we can talk about class. those are the factors that have not motivated many americans to be as empathetic as they might otherwise be. but you would think that the notion that somebody they knew, some uncles, some cousins, some person in your family who s out of work through no fault or his or her own would at least garner the everyone think of these folk in congress. why hasn t it worked? i think they ve written these folks off. and you ve written about this, and you know well, that the politics of america is defined increasingly not by the whole of the country, but by what political players think of as the voting class. who do they think will be at the polls, who do they think will punish them? unfortunately, an awful lot of folks who follow into this category, the long-term unemployed, they may vote, but they tend to vote according to patterns that a john mccain or a mitch mcconnell may not care about so much. and the tragedy of t
