There’s a reason your position lost so badly in the polls: it’s divorced from reality. Painting every criminal as a poor hungry oppressed person just isn’t true. All the stores around me have closed because they were being repeatedly robbed by organized gangs. Anything I leave outside gets destroyed and I have to spend weeks cleaning up after sideshows pass through my neighborhood. The people doing that have plenty of money for fancy cars and expensive fireworks. They aren’t starving, they’re just shitty people who get off on making other people miserable.

Also, nobody in my neighborhood is hungry, I work with the county food bank to make sure of that. It’s hard work but it’s the least I can do.

Yes, slavery is wrong. However I gave up on expecting subtlety from the average voter many moons ago, and right now the population is desperate to express that just bending over and taking it from shithead gangsters is destroying low-income neighborhoods. They are tired of being lied to by people like you living in a nice rich neighborhood and imagining noble hungry people that were never the problem in the first place.
