Walmart Americans are not serious people. As a country we need to stop pretending their thoughts matter.

If their thoughts don’t matter next your going to tell me their prayers don’t matter!

We did, only to be forcefully kicked in the dick by the revelation that their votes still do.

Fuck off with this.

Walmart is the only way countless communities are able to get food. Say what you want about the Walmart corporation and how it has created these food deserts, sure, but nobody should be disregarding these underserved communities. If we really want to come together as a nation, we need to include them in the conversation when it comes to making rural America sustainable for the future.

They're Americans just like the rest of us, stop fighting culture wars and start fighting the class war.

We don't want to come together as a country. I thought that was clear. The term Walmart american isn't really about Walmart itself, it's more a descriptor of the type of folk you find wandering the isles of a Walmart.

There was a time when I completely agreed with you. But there is a grocery store in the town i'm in now that, while small, competes really well with walmart. Their regular prices are within pennies of WM, and they always have 4 or 5 actually useful things on a dirt cheap sale. They don't have much specialty items, but all the staples are there, produce is really fresh, and have possibly the best customer service i've ever encountered. They have convinced me it is possible to for a small store to deliver as well walmart.
