    Working classes don’t need healthcare or education? Quality of life is irrelevant? A strong economy doesn’t matter? One of the highest minimum wages doesn’t affect working class? I

    Free college (depending on income)doesn’t matter?

      Misses the actual pain points. These are good things objectively but these are not the things that people want change

        And yet people in Massachusetts generally elected not to change. Maybe not as big a majority as expected, but by a solid amount. Maybe all it takes is paying attention to healthcare, education, quality of life, free college, etc. maybe we have at least one model and all we have to do is follow it, instead of negativity and blaming mysterious pain points that you never actually identify

      It’s probably more like no one has helped us improve our healthcare / education / quality of life, so we’ll take a gamble on someone different.

      i think you’re missing their point. the working class does want these things, but the meme reinforces the idea that the dems only take care of the rich.

        “the people” seem to want to change ‘THEYRE SEATING THE CATS, THEYRE EATING THE DAWWGS’…so, fk if “the people” know what they want.

        How? Does Massachusetts not have working class people in it? Is it a state comprised entirely of the wealthy?

          im not saying i agree with this interpretation. just that the meme reinforces an erroneous causal relation depending on the bias of the reader. im dont know these places very well, but im used to seeing govenrments treating lower class neighborhoods with less attention. its a common perception.
