    I can’t afford gas. I can’t afford groceries.

    What do you expect any president to do about that?

      President specifically, nothing. Government and a political party as a whole? Fix the problem.

      There’s lots of ideas as to how to fix the problem, and though I have my own and have preferences, all that ultimately matters is that every single person in the country has a good place to live, food, and healthcare, and generally speaking, the ability to participate in society as much or as little as they choose.

      I expect someone running for president to sound like they give a fuck about that, and (once elected) to use their position as the party leader to constantly marshal their forces towards real solutions to those problems.
