    No matter who they elect things get worse

      If you’re working 2-3 jobs and upwards of 100 hours a week, none of it will matter to you. All you know is you have to struggle to live and no one we elect will change it.

      And this sense of superiority and refusal to understand or empathize is why hundreds of millions don’t listen to you.

        Lol, you don’t know me, or that I’ve literally been there.

        And this sense of superiority and refusal to understand or empathize is why hundreds of millions don’t listen to you.

        Pot and kettle friend.

        Do you even know what that life is like? Working yourself to the bone to feed your family and still staring down the barrel of an election that you tangentially know will harm you in some way?

        I’ve done 80hr weeks for years, and it fucking sucks. Check your assumptions, because this sense of superiority is why I ignore people like you. I’ve been there, but I still made the time when I had to with shit like absentee voting. Not everyone has that ability, but don’t pretend like that takes away their agency, even if they have little energy to put to it

          I’m not judging you. (And I should have made that more clear. I apologize.)

          I’m judging the sentiment, and until Democrats learn to actually speak to workers, they’re going to lose elections.
