Obviously. What else would it be when comparing two American states.

a decent amount of americans seem to think they are the global best in every category so probably not obvious enough even.

This type of meme isn't helpful when people already think the Dem Party isn't for working class people and elites only lol. Trump listened to people issues about material needs even if he lied. It still worked. Harris and Dems went on the whole time not addressing issues with the economy. Adopting a real working class agenda and free college would do wonders and putting resources to getting the crazy folk away from Education.

Ever been to MA?

Crapton of working class people there. I mean a lot. It is possible to have top-tier education and health care yet have working class people in the same State.

Being a rural state does not by default equate to “working class”. If anything it probably means more people per capita on government assistance or in poverty.

Working classes don’t need healthcare or education? Quality of life is irrelevant? A strong economy doesn’t matter? One of the highest minimum wages doesn’t affect working class? I

Free college (depending on income)doesn’t matter?

Misses the actual pain points. These are good things objectively but these are not the things that people want change

i think you're missing their point. the working class does want these things, but the meme reinforces the idea that the dems only take care of the rich.

How? Does Massachusetts not have working class people in it? Is it a state comprised entirely of the wealthy?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

im not saying i agree with this interpretation. just that the meme reinforces an erroneous causal relation depending on the bias of the reader. im dont know these places very well, but im used to seeing govenrments treating lower class neighborhoods with less attention. its a common perception.

It's probably more like no one has helped us improve our healthcare / education / quality of life, so we'll take a gamble on someone different.
