Political Memes

Punching down by portraying people you theoretically want on your side as villains is not a winning strategy for anyone left of centre. Dividing people only helps the right, no matter who is doing it.

Republicans ran on a purely populist agenda, that resonated with many non voters. If Dems had an ounce of sense, instead of digging their heel on 'vote losing' points, they would have acknowledged the merit of those populist rhetoric to defang republicans.
