It's hilarious how little self awareness these people have.

Even though I posted data in this thread, this is as elementary as 1, 2, 3.

Democrats attract the lowest income people because of their message. IT'S THEIR PLAN! No one from the DNC would dispute this.

Why don't these people own that?

How do you know that? If you were getting a bunch of free stuff from Uncle Sam, why wouldn't you have a high propensity to vote?

Democrats seek out their dependent voters and get them to the polls!

Much better than republicans do, I'll admit!

They see them as opponents and not as the people who pave the foundation of our society. They do not realize how important they are to the American way of life. Their belief seems to be, if you don't make X amount of money you are not one of us.

I would like to think that the majority of GOP voters out there don't think in lockstep with the poster's here. But it does make you wonder how many do.
So you've changed the subject now that you've been proven wrong about the income of Democrat voters?

Obviously this thread is still over our head. There's nothing better to make a person "unworthy" and diminished in value than to make them a slave of the government.

Republicans believe that all people are worthy and THEREFORE none should be sold a program of cradle to grave Nannyism by Democrats.

Which policies have democrats championed lately that require increased responsibility and taking charge in one's own life?

This is the Democrat platform! Ride out free stuff as long as it lasts! "Republic" be damned!

So you're talking about democrat state-imposed taxes and blaming republicans, right?

That's a state and local tax (SALT) problem. Solution: DON'T live in a blue city or state. I used to live in a blue state. Very high SALT taxes are why I moved to my current red state. I'm paying 65% less in taxes now on the same value home in a higher socioeconomic level neighborhood.

Former blue state neighborhood avg home price: $510k
Current red state neighborhood avg home price: $786k

Nope, try reading what you quoted and then actually running numbers so that the comment you made doesn't stem from ignorance.

More lack of self-awareness by liberals. It's amazing! Only the leftists could get a very substantial TAX BREAK from the federal government and then complain about it!

Instead, of course, of blaming their local democrat politicians for jacking up their insane "COL" bill.
