Low propensity voter are also voters who feel that their vote counts for nothing because the same candidates keep showing up in election after election.
Get back to New Deal style liberalism centered on workers and stop shilling for Big Business. That's a party that will defeat the GOP repeatedly.

No matter their race, low-propensity voters have tuned out of politics for a reason. If Democrats want to build lasting majorities, they need to more seriously engage with why.
The Never-Ending Chase for the Mythical Non-Voter Bloc
Some Democrats insist their path back to power will come through higher turnout. The facts say otherwise.

It's a poorly written sentence.
The sentence subject is "dog".
"Poops" is a verb; the action the subject is doing.
Therefore, "it" refers to the dog (subject).

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

The illogic of this position and the palpable fear should give everyone pause. This mindset is driving much of MAGA today. And intentionally or not, it's driving political violence.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Criticism of one's country isn't just a constitutional right, it's a responsibility, a duty towards building a better country. Megyn Kelly doesn't understand this because she demands uniformity of thought and obeisance to Donald Trump.

It occurs to me that fraternities are the breeding ground, the proving ground for future CEOs and other C-suite execs. Do you wonder why businesses are cruel to workers and consumers?
