Working classes don’t need healthcare or education? Quality of life is irrelevant? A strong economy doesn’t matter? One of the highest minimum wages doesn’t affect working class? I

Free college (depending on income)doesn’t matter?

i think you’re missing their point. the working class does want these things, but the meme reinforces the idea that the dems only take care of the rich.

How? Does Massachusetts not have working class people in it? Is it a state comprised entirely of the wealthy?

im not saying i agree with this interpretation. just that the meme reinforces an erroneous causal relation depending on the bias of the reader. im dont know these places very well, but im used to seeing govenrments treating lower class neighborhoods with less attention. its a common perception.

“the people” seem to want to change ‘THEYRE SEATING THE CATS, THEYRE EATING THE DAWWGS’…so, fk if “the people” know what they want.

No it doesn’t. Massachusetts is full of working class people.

I think you might be confusing cause and effect here. Perhaps the people in MA are “rich” (I would say, doing well. There are tons of working class people in MA, they’re just not necessarily living in squalor) because the dems took care of them. Almost as if we have tons of data backing this up… That Democrats consistently do these types of things, while Republicans constantly walk them back.

Misses the actual pain points. These are good things objectively but these are not the things that people want change

And yet people in Massachusetts generally elected not to change. Maybe not as big a majority as expected, but by a solid amount. Maybe all it takes is paying attention to healthcare, education, quality of life, free college, etc. maybe we have at least one model and all we have to do is follow it, instead of negativity and blaming mysterious pain points that you never actually identify

Maybe we’re learning that democracy fails when the people vote for the things they want over things that they objectively need.

It’s probably more like no one has helped us improve our healthcare / education / quality of life, so we’ll take a gamble on someone different.
