I've always said it: Republicans win because they're the only party that will fully admit a problem exists. Their solutions are fucking evil, nonsensical, and exacerbate all our problems to the nth degree, but at least they'll say there's a problem. Nobody can afford rent; you had Trump out there blaming our Haitian brothers and sisters, but Harris wouldn't even admit there was a rent issue, or if she did it was easily remedied by rewarding the same landlords that bend us over at the start of the month. You only have to look at Republicans for a minute to understand how expertly Democrats can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, all for a fuckin dime.
