Comment on Retirees 'stunned' as market turmoil over tariffs shrinks their 401(k)s

I think the last 40 years has demonstrated that partisan voters, regardless of team color, never learn anything important.
I’m also 100% sure performative cruelty is going to set back Democrats, because at the end of the day, you need those votes.

I mean sure blame “partisan voters” all you want but fully a third of the present blame can be placed on those who sat this one out. If you can count on Americans for anything you can count on them to be stupid and apathetic.
Also you can see Dems planting the seeds for their future losses in how they just rolled over on the latest budget fight. They don’t deserve to win just for showing up and being “not Trump” they need to give people a reason to vote for them.
