        If that were really true then Republicans being guaranteed would also make one ask why they’re spending so much money supporting them.

        Democrats do exist in those states, obviously, so they have the choice to support them and have clearly chosen not to.

          Companies don’t generally donate for ideology, they donate for political favors. Donating to the losing party is a waste of money, there’s no reason for them to donate to Democrats.

          No, they really don’t. The dnc doesn’t run anyone in red states, just purple and blue.

          To answer your first question, to get their issues voted on. The same reason anyone contributes to campaigns. It’s how American democracy works and was designed. You have to pay to have your voice heard.

        Hillary Clinton proposed tech training investments so that high paying jobs would go to Americans instead of H1B foreigners.

        Trump has said he agreed with Musk after Musk said he needs more foreigners because Americans are too mediocre and retarded for high paying jobs.

        Waffle House states chose Trump.

          Clinton, the wife of the person that killed all well paying US manufacturing jobs? Why would people ever distrust her word?

          Anyway to address your point, maybe Dems should campaign on problems that matter at the level they matter. The president is the last person that matters to someone dealing with a local issue.

            So you are blaming 60 years of manufacturing decrease in the US on Bill Clinton’s wife?

            What’s really crazy about your accusation of lying is she explicitly didn’t lie about it. She came out and said, [“Those jobs are gone. But I will help you learn new jobs.” ]

            Look at the graph from 2016-2020. That was Trump. He did nothing for manufacturing just like Hillary said.

            The jobs were gone and Trump gave the good jobs to foreigners.

              No, I’m blaming NAFTA for being the final nail in the coffin for domestic manufacturing in a direct continuation of Regan’s war in the US working class.

              Why do you neolibs have no reading comprehension?

                It’s a straight line. If NAFTA had any effect it would have shown.

                But it still doesn’t explain why you said she lied about manufacturing and training when she publicly campaigned on the exact opposite.

      At first I thought they were betraying their market, because on review I’ve only eaten at Waffle House while hungover in a city, but they’re just expanding it by trying to make literally everyone broke and angry.

    Kts shocking cause it’s such a peaceful place to eat too. It’s not like they have a reputation for violence or anything.
