    It’s the one thing that tangibly affects the uninformed median voter. Everything else can be ignored or blamed on immigrants or something, but paying like $20 extra at the pump every week is right in their face.

      I’m honestly not sure that voter exists. I feel like democrats will spend billions to win “undecided voters”; rather than just doing the popular things their base wants.

      I do plan on voting fully democratic; but I get so frustrated with the party. If they just embraced DSA policies; they’d wipe the floor with republicans at a fraction of the cost

        If they just embraced DSA policies;

        Part of the problem is that Americans have been conditioned for generations to be scared of the mere mention of that “S” word.

        Think you should get out more. I know plenty of people that would balk at half the things DSA wants. Not everything theyre afraid of makes sense but seriously, this wouldn’t be the easy sell you think in my experience.

        I can assure you that that voter exists. The General6 public is extremely uninformed/misinformed about politics and what’s actually happening. Gas prices, food prices, and the constant stream of ICE nazis murdering citizens are what the general public sees and understands.
