63. I find many upper middle-class Dems

Fri Mar 13, 2026, 08:41 AM

Friday

are completely dismissive of class issues that don't affect them even though paid sick leave and minimum wage increases referendums are winning big even in deep red states.

Democrats campaign nationally like the political center is center right on economics and center left socially when it's the exact opposite of that. BTW, I don't think you have to throw women or LGBT people under the bus. It's about what you choose to emphasize on campaigns.
