   Why is it OK for rich Democrats and their sycophants to tell the working class what's good for them? This, more than anything else, is why Biden is headed for a loss in November.

   Don't you understand? It literally doesn't matter one lick what YOU think is good for the working class. It matters what each individual member thinks is good for them.

     @freakazoid it's also hostage voting. Talking to people about "saving democracy" while they feel a gun is being held to their head to vote who they are "supposed" to, and are in effect not even "permitted" to vote against the party in power means democracy is already dead. Getting the people to hold themselves hostage is brilliant gaslighting, though. But pretending to be saving democracy just makes it even more insulting.

     @freakazoid maybe it will one day exist again, but at present democracy is dead in the US. As much as the dead parrot.
