Typically I blame people who don’t show up to vote. Overall I think Democrats have better solutions to that problems facing America today but people don’t want to actually vote. Turn out for the last midterm was about 45%. That’s terrible.
Didn’t show up to vote or disenfranchised to vote?
Didn’t show up because those numbers changed during the presidential election. If it were disenfranchisement I think they would have remained low.
I don’t know that the Democrats have better solutions, for me it’s the simple fact that Democrats are proposing solutions at all. What are the proposed Republican solutions for the cost of healthcare, the wage gap, the climate crisis, gun violence?
I don’t even fully agree with all the solutions proposed by Democrats, but it seems to me like they’re the only game in town.
Well a Republican might answer this way:
Healthcare: let the free market determine the price. If you can’t afford it then that’s an incentive to get a better job.
Wage gap: negotiate for better pay. Or find a better job.
Climate crisis: the earth goes though patterns of hot and cold. Humans have nothing to do with it.
Gun violence: the only thing that’ll stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
You know what? I stand corrected. You’re absolutely right.
