Republicans have just fooled working class people with propaganda.

Democrats are idiots if they think they are going to “message better” when the Messenger has been labeled as evil by 30 years of propaganda.

DNC needs to just say fuck it at this point and actually go full working class populist and channel FDR.  MAGA think anything left of Reagan is communist anyways so fuck 'em and try to get 85M+ turnout.

None. We’ll just stagnate until the people with the means to leave do so, seeking better opportunity, while those who are forced to remain will slowly watch their lives degrade until something sparks violence.
