E was what the Democrats have offered and it lost them the last election

Nah, lies, propaganda, and an incoherent strategy for Biden leading to limited window with Harris lost the last election.

There was a perfectly cromulent immigration plan ready to be voted on by Congress before Trump threw a tantrum because it would have hurt his election chances.

They threw Harris a hospital pass, and other variables also matter, but ultimately the party that was positive about migration lost the vote.

E was what notable bleeding heart… Ronald Reagan chose during his time in office.

Would be nice if we had more housing for that.

A tangent, but a welcome one for sure! NIMBYism has led to some pretty terrible outcomes. I recommend giving the work of the StrongTowns organization a read for a critical review of current policy and upcoming issues associated with it, as well as reasonable recommendations for how we can make stronger communities.
