If I was the dems, I wouldn’t have let a million-plus poor working class people die of preventable COVID deaths. Apparently the poll numbers are lower than what Hill-dawg had at this point. Looking forward to hearing how this is all Russia’s fault.

    Weren’t covid deaths overrepresented in traditionally republican demographics?

    Don’t get me wrong I also think they should have responsible covid policies but I don’t think you can blame their polling on that I think they just suck.

    The US is such a reactionary country that I think responsible covid policies would probably hurt them at the polls tbh

      Good question, I remember hearing that covid deaths were disproportionately people of color who are not typically republican voters, but I’m not really sure.

        I’ve read that was the case for the first year of covid but heavily conservative counties have had significantly higher death rates than lib/swing counties ever since the vaccines became widely available.
