So, take the trump approach and only have a concept of a plan but lie and tell them that you are fighting for them, when you are not? (Not disagreeing with you, this is just how it feels to me.)Ignorant? Yep in some corners for sure. But, let's remember Trump stole market share from the Democrats. How is it that Trump took some voters who obviously should be voting for the Democrat simply by saying "he was fighting for them." Or worse, there's a huge number of voters who should be voting for Democrats who stay at home.
For some voters, being offered help to get that first home just may not mean much because they know they will never get one unless its public housing.
Being offered tax credits? May not mean much for the lower income or even the younger crowd unless its refundable (and who understands what that means?). Besides, when you're talking tax credits, that's Greek anyway. You need a tax man for that.
You want to reach Hispanic voters. You better talk in depth about small business. You want to reach small town America? You better talk small business. That's all they have. When do Democrats ever talk about small business in a way that voters realized that Democrats are thinking hard about it?
If you are a struggling American with weak credit and you want to work in this country then you have a huge problem just getting a ride to a job. Your cost of transportation is at least 200% more then non-struggling Americans. Do Democrats ever talk about that?
The Democrats aren't offering help that can be understood by many at the lower end. Or talking about it in ways so that those voters know Democrats are fighting for them. But dang, they sure heard that Trump was fighting for them.
I have no clue how trump was elected, never will understand.
But I thought that the dems did present some ideas to help small businesses.
Of course, I know a couple of republicans that didn't take the Business Covid stimulus (You know the one that MTG got almost $200K from) because of their pride. Exact quote: They don't take government handouts.
My niece made that same statement this past weekend. This is a 26 year old with no education, no job, no prospects, drug addict with a child who's father is dead. She needs all the help she can get and she's not going to take money from the government, because that's the bullshit she's heard from her stupid parents. I told her that we paid taxes to support programs to help society. That she should apply for anything that she can get to help her clean up, take care of her child, and get some kind of career training.
Of course, her parents, who are currently raising the child, are the same way, yet they didn't have a problem getting SS benefits after the father died in a car accident.
