I think a lot about how liberals are obsessed with policy minutiae that just doesn't matter. Nobody actually cares about tax incentives but liberals and they only care because they think it means their candidate is a nerd. The results matter. The implementation doesn't matter. I don't hear talk of either. But politicians should say things like:
Climate change will kill us, and we are going to stop that from happening.
Everyone should be able to see a doctor without ruining their budget, regardless of income or social status.
We are going to have safe, indoor accommodations for the unhoused wherever they are.
We are going to have stable and secure housing for everyone.
We are going to stop the mass shootings.
Journalists will ask how these things are possible, and the answer is simply that we are going to do whatever it takes because it's important for a society to function in this way if it is going to last.
Now I think I understand a little bit of the appeal of the GOP/Reform UK/AfD. Sure, the vast majority of those voters are ontologically evil, but a sizable enough part of their base votes for them because they’re the only (socially acceptable) party that actually believes in something. It’s an evil something, but they have an ethos.
Look at modern day democrats, they’re just South Park republicans. Like seriously, read the Wikipedia article for South Park republican: it fits the modern democrat to a T. As long as they got their treats and their team is in office, it’s back to brunch for them. If Harris somehow pulls this off you better believe that you will see the mother of all brunching only to end up scratching their heads when DeSantis obliterates the dems in 2028.

An answer I give to USians often on the internet: if the USSR which you deem so shitty managed to do all of those things (minus climate change) 50 years ago, it should be trivial for the glorious contemporary USA

Literally the Walter Sobchak line lol
lol. I actually kind of ripped that off from an old NonCompete video about the dark crystal demonstrating the liberal-fascist bargain.
Here’s the video btw. The birth of breadtube in 2018 was quite the time I look back on with nostalgia.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
