Sorry I'm a few pages behind, but goddamn this right here is a gem.
Left behind and screwed over by the establishment? Are you talking about the white working class voters in the rust belt who cycle after cycle have voted for Republicans who campaigned on doing absolutely nothing for them, and came through with that promise? The same people who pay through the nose for healthcare because Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity/Carlson got on TV every night for 40 years and called UHC socialism? Who call gov investment in infrastructure socialism or suddenly care about the debt? You taught them how to cut off their nose to spite their faces, it's exactly what you guys do to keep them coming back. Left behind? lol holy rat shit. The white working class voters decked out in $200 worth of MAGA shit with time on their hands to go to rallies about nothing but the entertainment of watching a lying asshole gin up their hatred of government and simultaneously complain that the gov isn't doing enough for them?
The dems have been proposing progressive (that mean progress forward, not the old way of doing shit) legislation constantly against the buzzsaw of conservative objection, and when given the choice these people over and over and over have chosen the candidates that promises to do nothing except block progress and try to make things like "like they used to be" despite market forces and tech development and economic shifts and demographic changes etc.
No way jhmd, these people chose to hold themselves back, nobody left them behind or screwed them over except their own political party. You let them down for your beloved tax breaks, upper middle class conservative. You left them behind in pursuit of a few more dollars for yourself, and created a perfect scapegoat in the dems with convenient wedge issues on abortion and guns and gays to drive it home. get that left us behind shit the fuck outta here
