What kind of perpetrator takes a photo of their activity... Do they want to get caught?

The point is they measure success not by winning elections but by fundraising. "Harris couldn't have been wrong, she raised record amounts, it must be the the voters or something"

Okay, one still should vote for a Democrat president. Because why would you vote for a more hostile government? Unless of course you want everything go-to shit but you should lead with your intention.

It's not an either or situation, there is plenty of blame to go around. But I believe that the people with the most power are the most responsible. I know that runs counter to American corporate culture and can be a cultural shock to hear.

Overproduction of commodities is certainly a problem for capitalists. But the workers get to enjoy a lower cost of living. Like I would much prefer we built ghost cities (Chengdu was derided as a ghost city at one point) than have a decades long housing crisis with no signs of improving unless we deport millions of people.

Call it butt sex and then we can also claim this was the gay agenda we kept hearing about.

So I guess you'd say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

My brother in Christ, you're not talking to a liberal here.

He has jumped onto the "abundance" strategy with his plan to address the housing crisis: cut out "special interests" like unions and environmentalists from power. If your project is affordable housing then your union rate is no longer accepted. So yes, his policy direction is about making the bargaining table smaller by kicking out some of the middle class.
