| People tend to vote with their wallets in mind more than anything. I think that's why it ping ponged(inflation), and why they're getting destroyed in the midterm polling. The next president will likely have a D next to their name(more inflation). |

| I heard a good quote once: People don't vote to say thank you. People vote to say fuck you. |

| Both times Trump won, the polls predicted he would lose. |

| Trump was president before. People didn't vote for him a second time if they wanted to improve the economy. |

| Trump himself only happened because Ds abandoned the working class for grievance politics circa 2010 — forming “public private partnerships” to tear open old wounds while screwing the working class on behalf of corporations. |

| ▲ | clipsy 42 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | You're a couple decades late there, it was Clinton and the Third Way(tm) Democrats that abandoned blue collar workers. (Of course, that doesn't capture the full story either -- before '92, white blue collar workers were already abandoning the Democrats to support Reagan while he and the Republicans gutted private sector unions.) |
