American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

"A low-income resident of San Francisco lives so much longer that it's equivalent to San Francisco curing cancer.
All these statistics come from a massive new project on life expectancy and inequality that was just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association."

So much time, ink, & nonsense spilled explaining why the smallest pandemic/inflation-driven anti-incumbent backlash in the entire democratic world was a Paradigm Shifting Tidal Wave Of Crisis For The Democrats. Incredibly parochial in so very many ways.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.
