My observations from above the border...the Dems have alienated regular people by adopting this "We're your intellectual superiors, fall in line because we know what you need better than you do." I'm educated up the ass, so are you, but we still live outside the ivory tower, so to speak. Average voters are sick of it and the Dems just don't get it in their never ending arrogance.

I don't care what colour, race or gender I am, if your party tells me crap like, "Inflation isn't a real thing, it's just that stuff costs more," I'm out.

Not only should the candidates learn some stuff...Civics education needs to be brought back into the schools. People, no joke have no idea what they're voting for, what it means or how anything works.
