No political party is responsible for helping them find a better way to live, etc. They should seek counseling or move back in with Mom

Democrats need to reevaluate the misguided policies over the decades of compromising on wages, healthcare, military budget, $$ in elections, etc. Nothing to lose by finding out if those things are of interest to the base and nonvoters
