    I don’t know that the Democrats have better solutions, for me it’s the simple fact that Democrats are proposing solutions at all. What are the proposed Republican solutions for the cost of healthcare, the wage gap, the climate crisis, gun violence?

    I don’t even fully agree with all the solutions proposed by Democrats, but it seems to me like they’re the only game in town.

      Well a Republican might answer this way:

      Healthcare: let the free market determine the price. If you can’t afford it then that’s an incentive to get a better job.

      Wage gap: negotiate for better pay. Or find a better job.

      Climate crisis: the earth goes though patterns of hot and cold. Humans have nothing to do with it.

      Gun violence: the only thing that’ll stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

      You know what? I stand corrected. You’re absolutely right.
