25. Blaming voters is what losers do.
Thu Jul 3, 2025, 11:20 PM

Trump won Missouri by 18 points and the higher minimum wage and mandatory sick leave won by 8. Where was the campaigning for sick days and paid family leave by Kamala? Being a centrist party on economics isn't working for Democrats.

It's fine to criticize the left for always shitting on Democrats, but at least acknowledge some of their criticisms are valid. When Republicans accuse Dems of class warfare we need to say "damn right, but we didn't start the war, we're just fighting back".
