Have I been out of the loop on politics?

Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.

Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.

And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?

When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?

    Democrats used to be the conservative party before Nixon (my timing might be off) said “Hold my beer” and turned the Republicans into the regressive Christian theocracy it is today.

    So, the civil war thing doesn’t really count because it was a different party with different ideals under the same name.
