paranoid randroid posted:again this is what i mean when i say that communicating the message is the hard part, not least because the left in general loving sucks at messaging to people outside their traditional base. In my experience, people sit down with a Democrat, nod along in agreement with their whole economic platform, and then vote for the Republican. That seems less like a messaging problem than a "people are ignorant" problem, or more charitably "people care more about culture than economics".

Covok posted:69K in the public accounting industry. I'm for pure socialism and the public executions of all the rich people that ruined our country- Around 30k a year, doing environmental work, carpentry, and whatever small jobs I can get, while at the same time trying to get my degree. Served in the marines and got disabled and kicked out so now I gotta figure out how the gently caress I'm gonna make it to 70 without having to work to not be homeless. The only healthcare I had was from the VA but I don't use it because it's really horrible for my mental health.

I know a social worker who is a bleeding heart lefty but still reliably votes R on every single candidate and issue because her rich parents taught her to do that.
