Their plan is to impoverish most of us, so Peter Thiel and friends can have it all. Their cult leader, Curtis Yarvin, suggested that poor people be turned into biofuel.
You have good points, but they have no interest in doing anything you suggest. They do not want to be helpful.

Democrats hate voter stats, because they don’t support Democrat delusions of grandeur. The Democrats are overwhelmingly favored by inner city folks, unemployed folks, welfare folks, LGBTQIA+ folks, and yes, unwed single mothers. And yet the party still lost. Because married, employed homeowners outside of a few blue city areas overwhelmingly vote Republican. This doesn’t “feel” good to dcurbanmom types, so most deliberately avoid voter statistics and remain blissfully unaware of them by choice.
The problem is that a good part of eligible age voters don’t vote. Also Democrats have to appeal to more interest because people are single issue voters which is ridiculous
Again it’s hard for preening Democrats to face the truth. Actually, voter turnout has surged much higher because of Trump. Trump, Biden, and Harris are the biggest vote getters BY FAR in American history, with their tens of millions of extra votes vs the Clintons, Obamas, and Bushes of the world MUCH larger in percentage terms than the modest increase in eligible voters. And the biggest single issue voters BY FAR are pro-choice Democratic women. Most women I know from my prestigious college are single issue abortion voters.

dcurbanmom Dems want to imagine themselves as fancy moral crusaders who are only losing to Trump because of a few redneck bad apples, instead of facing the fact that, Democrats are voting AGAINST most employed married homeowners and WITH the unemployed, the ex-cons, the single moms, and the childless LGBTQIA+ obsessives.
After Republicans win the Presidency again in 2028, a non-trivial number of power- and status-seeking dcurbanmoms will switch parties. But for now, they are in a funny #resistance and delusion bubble.

I’m honestly worried about your mental health and concerned about the wellbeing of your children. I hope you have access to mental health professionals.

No one in my family needs a bonus. The grandkids are already born anyway. Our very normal and happily married children make good money and wanted a family. I think it’s wonderful and I cherish every moment spent spoiling my grandkids.
