[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should the people vote for Democrats?  They have never done anything for those dying towns.  [/quote]

Actually the Dems tried doing a lot, like trying to protect and strengthen the social safety net that stops them from starving outright (some of the biggest concentrations of food stamp recipients are in deep red areas), trying to reskill and retrain out-of-work people in the Appalachian coal belt (and guess what, the coal sector job loss accelerated under Trump's administration, for a number of reasons - lower global demand and higher automation requiring fewer workers among them).  The Dems also promoted infrastructure spending to create jobs in deep red areas.  The Dems have done a lot for those dying towns.   Far more than the Republicans did - all the Republicans did is rile them up to make them spend what little money they have on AR-15s and oversized gas-guzzling pickup trucks that they don't actually need while blaming everyone else for their own problems.[/quote]
