      There was a massive media campaign against it. Every other political ad on tv was against it .

      Progressive policies are popular until billionaires spend millions of dollars convincing people that the world will end if we help poor people a bit.

        That’s true, we need a strategy to deal with the media.

        The same thing could be observed when even the most right-wing democrats in 2020 were saying we need police reform, and in 2022, they were all talking about a made-up crime wave, or how every election until now, reliable dem voters understood immigration is a net positive for society, but suddenly they’re talking about how Kamala is going to secure the border
