    When you go issue by issue, the overwhelming majority supports left policies and rejects right wing fuckery because right wing fuckery fucks over 90% of people.

    Unfortunately most people are idiots and left candidates are morons when it comes to self marketing and expressing ideas, so it’s always a coin flip…

      They support “left” policies as long as those policies don’t hurt corporate profits… Then they agree with the right. All they need to do is take that one last little step to the left, embrace the working class, and abandon the ever shrinking right, and they’d never lose again.

      Corporate profits and hoarding wealth before paying for society is what hurts 90% of the people. Any individual social policy only hurts a small percentage of people at a time. (I know theoretically an attack on any of us is an attack on all of us, but unfortunately most people only care about things when they are directly effected)
