Personal responsibility is an alien concept to leftists.
True.
However, we’re talking about Democrats following the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
They want unrest, chaos, violence, rape, and murder.
Within that chaos, they’ll blame capitalism as they promise to end it all while providing a “universal income”...communism.
