This would be such an excellent slogan for ad for the Democrats, it’s a wonder why they never used it
Mainly because most of them are not interested in meaningful change that includes them losing "perks" they like. There are a few but the established ones won't let them rock the boat too much.
That sounds like an ad that some PAC could create, and run nationally with minor changes.
PACs require funding, and between the working class and the corporate oligarchs, I'll give you one guess as to which has the money.
Because the average voter wouldn't understand it and thinks both parties are the same.
They're not identical, but they are bOtH anti-union, pro-corporate, and pro-Epstein
You're losing voters for a reason (you being D and R parties), down to 28% of voters each, and independents are growing (44% of voters).
If the Democrats ever want those numbers to go up, they should do what the voters want (higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, term limits, ending congressional trading, age cap, and so on). .
There aren't very many voters who understand that democrats are better than republicans but are stupid enough to throw away their vote in this regard. The reason democrats don't win despite being clearly better for most people is that too many Americans are so stupid they can't see through the billionaire's media manipulation. And too many Americans are too lazy and apathetic to vote. Mind you, those morons who talk about democrats being nearly as bad are either part of that media manipulation and working to support the right, or otherwise they are the most asinine fools in existence.
Three cheers for the average voter
