Why do these people play repeats. This same shit happened last time do people just forget? Do they hear about it happening to others and just completely externalize it? Fucks sake.
The internet exists. There's plenty of Spanish, or any other language, news coverage of anything you could want to know about. People have the responsibility of educating themselves. Failing to do so is just that, a failure. Don't give anyone cover to remain in ignorance.
Educated or no, doesn't take a rocket scientist for a blue collar worker to look at their grocery bills and see that they tripled, or to figure out that they can't afford to see a doctor or send their kid to college.
But unless you are educated on why that is happening, it just creates anger. Trump thrives on that anger.
Being unable to understand that other people have a different life experience and a different knowledge base is essentially the same thing that you are shitting on those people for.
Get off your high horse and stop being part of the problem.
LOL, workers handed Biden the presidency and Congress.
It's happening because he didn't do anything meaningful to make positive change in their lives. He did manage to make a few hundred billion more appear out of thin air for war though, so I suppose that should make them feel better about the fact that they can't properly feed their families, right?
Guess the core idea went over your head. Good luck yelling at the working class.
You know what's ironic?
Dems did this exact same shit in 2016. They learned nothing. They're still beating the Clintonite drum of praying that money from the rich will buy them enough name recognition to overcome the fact that they've ignored the descent into poverty that millions of their voters faced over the last four years. The same was true in 2016 when Hillary was running as an extension of Obama, and they just ignored that Obama presided over a foreclosure crisis.
And, from what you can see on this thread, apparently their plan is to just double down and lose some more.
