From an outsider's perspective it seems like the Democrats behave like that because the US electorate is genuinely right-wing and need pandered to.
Our government behaves like that because it formally takes bribes.
If you look at the real issues ~60% want homeless fed and to help people back on their feet, healthcare and school to be affordable to everyone.
~40% want all those things, but they only want them for themselves and their families.
We're at about 60/40 POS.
I'd say 60/40 is way off provably more like 80/20
That's where I want it to be. But I'm worried it's not
Eh if you ask any random person if they'd rather kill or house the homeless people I'm pretty sure they would say they'd prefer the latter
That's just a strawman, the same goes for killing or raping people.
The people themselves aren't entirely compassionless, But bathed in the propaganda, they're told that the homeless or homeless because they're bad, awful people. Most of the right-wing world view is designed to embrace greed by turning victims into Boogeyman.
You're buried in propaganda if you think 40% of Americans would rather kill homeless people rather than house them
Not at all what I said
