96. I have been advocating for years for Dems to use this data
Tue Jul 14, 2026, 11:36 AM
3 hrs ago

Republicans have gotten infinite miles out of California and Chicago propaganda, but Dems have rarely used facts about what Republican policies have done to states like Alabama, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. The crime and poverty in these states alone is evidence of the complete failure of Republican policies.

Why should Democratic politicians spare the feelings of Alabama? Their state is a total failure and the people running the state have failed the citizens there. Most of Alabama is an absolute shithole and the people living there deserve better. I'd like to see our next presidential campaign focus on the actual results of Conservatism in these states. Instead of defending CA, let's make them defend what they've done to Tennessee and Arkansas.
