If you look at the Dem platform, what they accomplish in some states with enough majority, and federal laws that the majority still likes today, it's confounding they lose so much. They rarely have enough federal majority for long enough to make the changes, or laws are repealed a few years later when maga wins again and destroy progress.
Yes, Dems support equality for all, so for too many people that overrides all the other stuff they do agree with. They absorb the propaganda from their media, use cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, identity fusion, dehumanize victims and scapegoat to ignore the data of what really helps human health. Stop the regression in quality of life metrics caused by the unhealthy maga policies. Use Sagan's baloney detection kit to understand what policies help the most people for the least cost and improves societies overall. Raise all boats is the answer!
