      Well, it would be a big change in the GOP if someone like RFK Jr. runs in 2028.

      He seems to be pandering to the working class with his populist talking points.

        I don’t think it would be a big change for the GOP. They pander to coal, blue collar and small town all the time only to fuck them over (not the smartest demographic, but still).

        The GOP is the embodiment of a wolf in sheep’s clothes. They eat 2/3 of their followers

        Edit: and the Dems ain’t much better, but they are rn

          Yes, the duopoly is known for pandering to the working class only when they are running for office, but I don’t think talking down to the voter base helps anyone.

          When you look at what Obama and Trump ran on, what they accomplished, and who they appointed in office, when they took office, they were only pandered to the working class but continued the status quo.
