The democrats donβt need people to be poor to have voters..

It is something I already knew, but had never really viewed the machinations through that lens. I thought I would share it here. Most people readily accept the idea that those in power will do anything to remain in power. It's basic philosophy and human nature. We don't concede what we have earned, easily. With that thought in mind it's interesting to look at who the democrat party claims to represent. The poor, the oppressed, the downtrodden, and the degenerates. .

Would anyone then be surprised to see california, oregon, etc. turning into a place full of poor, oppressed, downtrodden and degenerate people?
Contrary to your math illiterate right wing delusions it turns out all the states leading the poverty charge are red states:
States With the Highest Poverty Rates
California has 1/3 of the welfare recipients in the United States.
It also has 1/5 of the homeless population.
Is California a red state to you?
Spin that.

Fair point. Maybe i was misusing the phrase identity politics. It's just disappointing to see people condemn the left for certain things then use that condemnation as excuse to hail the right as the saviors of humanity.
