Lots of working class people in those oil fields, bud. Sounds like you’re disparaging them.

Democrats also won the special election in Connecticut by a narrow margin in the town of West Haven and Republicans won the special in Iowa overwhelmingly. Both holds

The Connecticut district is Biden+50 district. Special elections in this state are never indicative.

Not necessarily. I’m saying that many working class people that couldn’t get work here got a chance to earn a living over there in the oil fields. Should there be more job opportunities here? Yes, but I’m not going to critique someone that made the choice they had to make in order to feed their family, especially if it’s honest work.

Iowa is no longer a purple state. It’s ruby red, and it’s the Democrat’s fault. They actually think that woke urban and costal progressivism works in states like Iowa.

Joe Biden is about as far from a woke progressive as you can get. The problem here isn't wokeness (which I agree is not very popular), it's the fact that Democrats simply haven't done much to help people.

The Iowa special was a ruby red district. I wouldn’t say the state is gone for Democrats.

Didn't they pass a massive infrastructure bill.. it's actually a bit of a mystery that a lot of Americans agree with Biden's plans but his popularity is still low.. mostly because the right will stay united even if it's behind someone as odious as Trump, whereas the left will eat each other for breakfast at the first opportunity.
