    Yeah, but it’s not just racist hillbillies that feel like they have nothing to lose…

    That’s a lot of Americans these days. And they make up a lot of the 1/3 that don’t vote.

    So the other party could sweep elections for decades if they start doing all they can.

    FDR only lost two states in 1936. Because people trusted FDR to actually try and help them.

    Even tho his push for universal healthcare for stopped by moderate Dems, he still kept getting elected. Because just trying is enough for American voters
