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?

    I appreciate the introspective read. Yeah I can see the conflicting interest now within the party in the modern era (post civil rights). But apart of me just feels like you gotta win elections now by being in the right place and right time. I honestly don’t think the electorate is smart enough to vote on policies anymore. It’s more or less slogans and sayings now.
