    Now this is gonna sound crazy. But if you actively improve the material conditions of people’s lives I’m pretty sure they’ll vote for you.

      Biden did and he got the boot, along with all the Democrats. Trump didn’t and he won the popular vote.

      I don’t think doing good matters.

        I think doing tangible good matters.

        You can’t give tens of billions to green energy companies and expect any actual workers in the country to get richer.

        If he raised the min wage then poor people would tangibly benefit instead of the DNCs strategy of shouting down poor people when they say they can’t afford human needs

          Unfortunately, POTUS can’t unilaterally increase minimum wage, which would require legislative action… and the tangible good he (and Democrats more generally) actually did do for people, like student loan forgiveness, abortion access, college admission rules that helped disadvantaged students, gun control, and the ability for federal agencies to hire experts in a field to help make intelligent decisions were all thrown out in the courts.
