I’m tired of soft criticism like “out of touch” when lawmakers do something openly hostile to the will and benefit of constituents. They’re not out of touch, they’re self-serving authoritarians.

“This has shown Missourians just how out of touch our legislature is with the way the economy works for most families and their vision of how democracy should work in this state,” said Richard Von Glahn, policy director for Missouri Jobs with Justice, the organization that helped lead the campaign for the paid sick leave law.
Your heart is in the right place, my man, but that’s not “out of touch.” That’s OPEN HOSTILITY.

It is not a misunderstanding of the intentions so much as they are playing by the old rules where you do not call something for what it is out of polity.
An old decorum only exercised by the weak Democratic establishment now.
The Republicans do more than call out for what it is, they lie and accuse you of being the problem for their own perversions. But our Democrats refuse to even truthfully call a problem.

Truly! It would be a start to at least TRY to explain to these people that the upper class is waging open war.
