If I was the dems, I wouldn't have let a million-plus poor working class people die of preventable COVID deaths. Apparently the poll numbers are lower than what Hill-dawg had at this point. Looking forward to hearing how this is all Russia's fault.

everyone not voting democrat told democrats exactly what they needed to do to get their votes and democrats hedged their bets on orange man being so horrifically bad that we would all be FORCED into voting democrat to prevent him and they wouldnt need to make any concessions to the left or actual “progressives”.

well we’ll see how that works out for them

one thing the democratic party elite underestimate is how bad it is for those of us at the bottom, economically or due to social/racial etc identity. it actually for a fact cant get that much worse for us. it can get a lot worse for the comfortable middle class though. when middle class white Californian women sadly get subjected to the same abortion laws that poor black women all over the south are subjected to then what’s gonna happen? or when all the comfortable middle class people are suddenly paycheck to paycheck? we all know right wing economic policy will extract all it can from them as it has to us

this is starting to sound like a manifesto so i’m done but yeah it was a bold strategy, dems. let’s see how it plays out
