I guess the poor should have voted.
Political process is captured, this is point just shifting blame on the poors while ignoring how shot works in reality.
Yeah sure they should vote more but ain't shit gonna change from voting alone.

Hmmm. Who hurt the poor more? Who helped the rich more?
You forgot the news story you're posting this under, as well as the two largest increases in the homeless population, which happened under Biden.
