    People are desperate, angry, and feel like they have nothing to lose. Because regardless of who is in office, they never help.

    We have ONE party that loves and needs division and desperation so they block anything that makes lives easier. The GOP needs riled up, angry people to get elected to “fix things” - that is why nothing changes - witness their immigration strategy.

      Yeah, but it’s not just racist hillbillies that feel like they have nothing to lose…

      That’s a lot of Americans these days. And they make up a lot of the 1/3 that don’t vote.

      So the other party could sweep elections for decades if they start doing all they can.

      FDR only lost two states in 1936. Because people trusted FDR to actually try and help them.

      Even tho his push for universal healthcare for stopped by moderate Dems, he still kept getting elected. Because just trying is enough for American voters
