Democrats suck at midterms. For far too long we have allowed GOP to control wallet issues and have been masters at using social issues and scare tactics of coded language to paint Dems as evil commies and fascists if you even dare suggest the top can pay more.
In that 30 years when you average out the overall control of congress the majority of the time it has been under GOP control. Not because GOP has better ideas. This loss is simply the continuing failure of Dems to keep focus on the dirty tactics the 1% use to maintain the status quo.
When they see restlessness they have learned to throw just enough crumbs at voters to get them lulled into a false sense of security.
Wages will go up, problem is so will the cost of living. Not because it has to, but because business is dictating to workers what they get instead of bargaining which is what built the middle class after WW2.
We have to stop sucking at our messaging. The 1% does not really give one fuck about abortion laws, or pot use, or gay marriage or gun death. They use social issues to get voters to vote against their own self interest.
Some red states for example have put wage increases on the ballot, and every single one voted for that. Problem is with even with the increase, it is still not enough for families with kids. And also we are STILL producing far more part time jobs, and we still have tax shelters for the rich and free trade policies that are long term going to hurt us.
The rich have mastered the crumb throwing to keep real change at bay. It is still ultimately a corporate bullying tactic and a monopoly of money on government. Throw just enough at voters without actually doing anything productive.
