    Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”?

    Oliver Anthony almost immediately clarified that Trump and Republicans were *also" the people he was talking about…

    This is the danger of Dems moving “to the right”. They’re doing it on topics that lots of rural voters already hate that Republicans do.

    The only people happy with the Dems move to the right is wealthy donors. It doesn’t gain any ground with voters, just normalizes the shitty stuff republicans do and gives more credence to one of the most common reasons eligible voters don’t vote:

    Who am I supposed to vote for? The Republican who’s blasting me in the ass or the Democrat who’s blasting me in the ass?

        I mean, Democrats for sure are a problem, especially when they try to compete with Republicans by copying Republicans. But let’s not use ableist slurs, yeah?
