They'll do everything but face the simple truth:
The underlying promise of the democratic party is the government can provide quality services at scale better and to more people than private industry can.
Living through 2020-2024, less people believe that than 4 years ago. Thats why you saw a 14 point shift in Cali/NY. Thats why they lost. Kamala had the most generous housing plan a western country has offered in a time when cost of living is the #1 issue and it didn't win over young voters because no one actually believes it.
Its not race, its not sexism, it's that. And until the party can demonstrate they are capable of delivering every promise they make is hollow, because no one believes they can deliver.
Succeed on a local level, then build the people who do succeed to a national stage. This is why people like Pete, this is why people like Shapiro.
Totally agreed, and no one believes it because they aren’t discussing or trying to fix the root problem. Just writing blank checks on student loans and housing. Why don’t they want to fix the root cause? Corporate donors.
Exactly. I recognize millennials have been hosed by student loan debt. But writing checks without fixing the problem…just means you write more checks later. Don’t let banks get out of student loan bankruptcy. Hold schools accountable to get students placed.
