They managed to vote the worst way on like 80% of the ballot measures

Who the fuck opposes rent control? Who's against employee protections for Uber drivers?

Even Florida voted to raise their minimum wage.

Same types of libs who supported McGrath over Booker. I talked to a LGBT liberal vet from CA a few months ago who donated tons of money to McGrath. I tried to get her to pay attention to Booker and she said, "No thanks. I'm not really for everybody getting healthcare and GND is way to communist to get support in KY. People in KY don't care about those issues, they want someone closer to the center."

She really said she's not for everybody getting healthcare? Wow holy fuck.

Lol yeah. I asked her to expand on that and she said, “I had to join the military to get my healthcare. It’s not fair for everybody to get it for free.”

Something about the combination of "fuck you, got mine" and "if I had to suffer/struggle, so should you" strikes me as almost uniquely American.
