    There are the pocket book issues: food is expensive, housing is wildly expensive, jobs are hard to come by, and healthcare is basically ERs at this point.

    There’s a reason people are angry at the incumbents. The right are the ones capitalizing on it.

      food is expensive,

      Out of gov control.

      housing is wildly expensive,

      Out of gov control

      jobs are hard to come by,

      Not sure what milhouse told kids to blame the gov for on this one.

      and healthcare is basically ERs at this point

      hillbillies incentivized docs to just quit, and we’re stuck rebuilding.

      Are we just scapegoating the gov now?

        As always, but only when the other side is in power.

        People have a bunch of legit complaints about their quality of life, that the right is capitalizing on. If we don’t address those, progressive parties will do poorly.
