It won’t matter. Russia and China will decide our election.

You totally failed the assignment. “Try to answer that question without reverting to obvious attacks on the other side's candidate.” What’s Trump’s solution?

It's a weird economy right now that is massively benefiting older asset owners at the expense of younger people.
The left supports building more housing particularly in dense urban areas, providing federal money for housing affordability, relaxing zoning to accommodate more density; having more non-car mobility options so people are not tied to 5 figure annual costs over and above housing to get to work etc.
What are the right's plans for housing affordability?
Why do you think millennials and gen z are any different from other generations? People want the same option to raise a family with a house that has a yard that their parents and grandparents had. Saying we need density means that things are on the downturn and they should lower expectations of being even as well of as their parents, not better off like every prior generation was raised to expect. ThHat's a tough sell
Who says everyone wants to live in a house with a yard and white picket fence? The land use in the US, particularly the suburbs, is the most inefficient possible. Car dependent, have to drive to schools even. The costs also include things like yard maintenance etc. For many people, having access to playgrounds and local woods like Rock Creek are far more valuable. The bigger point is that people should have options. The democrats support land use and transportation policies that give people those choices.
I.e. most will only be able to afford to live in a smaller house than their parents and with less green space to raise their family and we'll pretend that's progress. We'll also pretend there are options because with enough money (i.e. more than most in gen z will be able to accumulate) you can have what your parents could easily afford. Where do I sign up to ring doorbells spreading such a hopeful platform?

I don’t agree that those are the two visions for the country that the main parties represent. I think the choice is between the (far) left and dictatorship.
Personally, I tend to be conservative, but the current Republican party is NOT conservative. They are a cult whose only priority is to support Trump (as evident in the 2020 Republican platform- or lack thereof).
I am grateful that there are some issues I can support the Democrats on, but even if there weren’t, I would still vote a straight Democratic ticket. I’m voting to preserve the right to vote for issues in the future.

Economy is always the top issue.
The economy right now is as strong as it has been in the last 75 years.
Democracy is on the ballot as well as abortion.
Those three items are top of mind for most voters.
The trans stuff, CRT and all the other nonesense is just noise.

What is the rights vision? Serious question because I couldn’t tell you want policies they want on most issues.
