“Actually the right is far stronger. Its just that most of us are trying to earn a living and don’t want to tell everyone else how to live their life. The left is living on our taxes and has time on their hands.”
The right isn’t unified, while the left has a natural advantage in reaching out to millions of newly-impoverished Americans with an appeal to lay their misery at the feet of wealthy whites. Mitt Romney was beaten by that strategy, and the number of poor whites has swelled since then.
The media is on board with the push.
