In reply to the discussion: HOLY %^%$ Governor Bans Minimum Wage Increases And Paid Sick Leave Laws (Oklahoma) [View all]mindwalker_i
(4,407 posts)But sometimes I wonder why democrats don't come out after Republicans do something like what this OP is about and say something like:
"What the holy f*** is this all about? Why the f*** is the governor doing this, when families are already getting their asses kicked by corporations? Repeatedly? Hard? I'll tell you. Repubs don't care about you. They don't care whether you have a job, whether your kids get educated, whether you survive. They care about sucking Koch and getting money to run ads about how your lives are horrible because of gays. Well it's not the gays, it's their policies that screw you over so the Kochs get more money, and some comes back to Repubs. Stop shooting yourselves in the foot!"
Instead we get these timid, measured responses that have been focus-tested and fit for public consumption. Well, that way isn't working too well. Voters want something real, which is probably why Elizabeth Warren does well.
