## Resource

Democratic Socialists won more races yesterday and the trend keeps growing. It will keep growing until enough Americans learn what every person who has actually lived under socialism already knows — don't go there. But the reason this is gaining traction is real. People can't afford homes, groceries are crushing budgets, student loans feel inescapable, and capitalism doesn't feel like it's working for a lot of struggling Americans right now. We address both the false solution and the real pain today. And Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing affordability bill — we don't blame him. It wouldn't have lowered housing costs and might have made things worse. We explain why a bad bill is still a bad bill even with bipartisan support.
