    Ignorance. The policies addressing housing alone was a huge amount of work fixing different parts of the problem from start to finish.

    Trumps plan was a simple handwave at deregulation.

      Trump had a whole book of detailed plans for what he wanted to do after he got into office. His entire agenda from day 1 to day infinity has been planned out by the Heritage Foundation. You may have heard of this project. It is supposed to take effect in 2025.

      I don’t think they are good plans, and you probably don’t either, but they certainly were one of the plans of all time.

      Harris has no clear agenda. Compare her to someone like Bernie Sanders who loudly proclaims his entire playbook on social media every morning. Sanders makes it clear about what he’d do if he was in change. The difference is pretty obvious.

        Trump denied the plans so I don’t think that worked to his effect.

        The messaging just isn’t getting through to the right people. Maybe there just wasn’t enough time to get it out.

        But the messaging itself needs work. We see tax breaks for new homes buyers, new small business, tips… that still leaves everyone that’s not in these categories.

        Trump roles in… finds out whatever local issue everyone is riled up about, blames it on the dems, game. Set. Match.

        We should do the same, but with actual solutions, while blaming the right people (yea, even if those people happen to be corporations). Like inflation… where was the messaging about greedflation? How corporations were fleecing their pockets? It’s even got a catchy buzzword.

        It’s not clear we will even get another genuine shot at this, but we need an iron tight strategy if there’s gonna be any hope.
