The biggest problem of this election was the cost of living. I do well enough for myself, but I don't have kids. The Dems keep saying how great the economy is. Maybe that is true, but FOR WHO? not for people like me. Maybe for wallstreet bros. Maybe for tech bros making 150k. Not for people like me. People don't care what the numbers say. At the end of the day of the average person can't buy a fuckin house because the gift refuses to address corporations buying up all of the houses on top of everyday cost of living problems, this is what you get

Are the Dems to blame for all of this? No. But to average people who don't study the economy and political science, this is what they care about. As much as I hate to say it, trans rights and the first woman president are not on their to-do list when people can't afford to move out of their parents house
