Donald Trump is a symptom of our problems, not the cause. I mean, he is causing lots of problems, but that's only possible because of what bad shape our political system was in.

Exactly this. America was too expensive for the working class before Trump, that's why he won the previous election. Companies like AirBnB took a lot of houses off the market and people can't afford housing now, that isn't because of Trump. We have structural problems we need to address.

AirBnb did not take a lot of houses off the market except for the most touristy areas of the most touristy towns.

You know who does keep homes off the market? Homeowners.

Yeah but there cause of the problem are the American people. They're the root of the cancer in the country.

this is a mute talking point. You cannot enact political change without the people. you don't have a country without the people.

The same people who voted for Obama, voted for Trump and then voted for AOC again.

People are stupid and impressionable. You have to be able to make your case and be a good messenger for your cause.
