Have I been out of the loop on politics?

Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.

Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.

And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?

When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?

    Agreed, but I feel like Dems and the media have been saying that for YEARS now. And people just don’t care. It’s easier to get behind a loud brash orange man screaming about migrants taking your jobs than driving deep into healthcare. It’s unfortunate,

      The Dems just don’t know how to speak to people like Republicans do. They could do it. But they don’t.

      Rather than speaking to peoples pain and anger, they try to lecture and teach. You need to talk to people where they are not where you want them to be.

      Bernie does it. That’s why so many Trump supporters like him, when they don’t like the rest of the Dems.

        I think it’s more ideological than that. I don’t think Bernie speaks well to liberals as he does conservatives.
