Their Voters Turned Out For THEM, but Republicans Don't Show For Their Voters

not that they ever DID... except come election time.

Voters Rage at “Empty Chair” Town Halls as Republicans Won’t Show Up - The New Republic

a damn thing they've done to help the working middle class and working poor... period. Just one act of cruelty after another.

Cutting child care programs, refusing free child lunch programs, opposing caps on bank fees, blocking Medicaid, sabotaging the Consumer Protection agency, the list of the HARM they've done is endless.

They voted against transgender, for racism, anti-immigrants, etc . . . The concept they should want more tangible things is foreign to them. Most only get national news and vote over issues only loosely linked to their lives.
