It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Let’s Keep It Going and Leave Nothing on the Table! It’s Durm Time! Let’s Deliver Durham! The Road to the White House runs through Durham!!! @durhamdelivers @BullCityDems @durhamdemwomen @BullCityVotes
Marist polling of early voters: AZ: Harris 55 Trump 44 NC: Harris 55 Trump 43 GA: Harris 54 Trump 45. It strikes me as a little surprising given the composition of the EV thus far in those states. Suggests that EV Indies are voting Dem.
