    My proposal is that Democrats start lying.

    Go on Tiktok, claim you’re gonna pass a law capping rent at $500/mo.

    Go on MSNBC and say “clearly we can’t do that, it will cause severe economic shock, but we’ll look at expanding rent control and increasing housing stock”

    There’s no consequences anymore. Just tell people what they want to hear. Say crazy populist shit. Have your donors purchase media outlets and juice the algorithm. Have botnets spread misinfo and disinfo. Then when you’re in power enact reasonable policy.

    Voters don’t like boring, reasonable policy. That’s not enough drama. Start saying wild shit.
