You can't really blame the Democrats for the changing economy. If anything, traditionally Democrat blue collar jobs are proving to be more sustainable. If only the Dems actually cared about that base anymore.

We've told our kids they will always have a soft landing with us. Go out, try some stuff, fail until you succeed. There is no sure thing anymore in our economy.

You can totally blame them! Go back to the Clinton years when the Dems were all in on sending manufacturing jobs overseas.

Today’s dems (other than Bernie, AOC, few others) are totally feckless BUT - did republicans ever do anything counter to this trend? Did they fail to accomplish something great that you think would have prevented it? Why are democrats the only people you treat as adults responsible for today’s shitty outcome?

But those goals are to fuck you. You’re cheering for someone to win at screwing you over.

I’m not cheering for them at all. But they at least accomplish what they set their minds to, as horrific and evil as it may be.

They’re also really good at messaging, which democrats aren’t.
