    Why would people vote for a party that won’t help them? Politicians aren’t owed a vote, they must make a credible argument to voters that they’ll improve their material conditions to be worth taking a day off work to vote. When they fail to carry out their promises, it’s very hard for them to make that argument.

        The republicans do what their constituency wants them to do, which is punish their enemies (LGBT+, immigrants, black people, poor people) and reward (white) business owners.

        So it’s very credible when republicans tell their base they’re gonna do those things.

        It’s not credible when democrats tell their base they’re gonna protect roe v wade, because they’re in power now, and didn’t do it.

          Nothing the racist rapist with 34 felonies says is true. He has negative credibility. Don’t go blaming Democrats for something the republikkklowns did. That ship has sailed.

            Are you saying you don’t believe the republicans will hurt LGBT+, black people, immigrants, and help the billionaire class?
