Okay, one still should vote for a Democrat president. Because why would you vote for a more hostile government? Unless of course you want everything go-to shit but you should lead with your intention.

    You claim to be a socialist in your other posts but you sure sound like a DNC centrist all the time.

    I see you're the one that responded with a page of why Dems suck when I said the Dems wield power differently but not against Capitalism. Maybe you live in a part of the world where there is no material difference between the two parties but that is not the lived reality for myself or my neighbors. This is not a centrist saying "well actually the Dems don't suck as much as you say", it is a Marxist saying you cannot build a coalition while ignoring the material conditions people are experiencing.

    LOL, the last Democratic nominee saw tens of millions of voters saying 'hey, we'd like to be able to afford food and rent', and their response was 'just be joyful about how poor you are'.

    If Dems want votes, they need to do more than make promises.

    She campaigned on fairly substantial changes, such as $25k downpayment assistance, $10k tax credit to first-time home buyers, and a lot of other housing reforms and subsidies. Not that I particularly liked her, but she did campaign on that kind of stuff (which people/media mostly ignored, IIRC).

    That'll happen when your record and that of your predecessors shows that your promises are worthless.

    Also she probably shouldn't have spent three months telling people to be joyful about how poor they were before dreaming up her policy positions.

    Biden and Obama were also pretty good on these issues.

    Biden heralded the American Rescue Plan which set aside billions for housing, and also oversaw housing assistance given to 8 Million renters and 500k homeowners.

    Obama Stimulus was so much that Republicans have been screeching about the federal deficit to this day.
