than to struggle to promote their own interests

One can easily say with that thought that the Democratic party didnt really reach out to them.
A quick google came up with this.
Harris has proposed a slew of economic policies. Here’s a look at what’s in them
She’s promising to, during her first 100 days in office, send Congress proposed federal limits on price increases for food producers and grocers.
She is going to send a proposal to congress. Nice.
"Harris is calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units over four years, which she says will ease a “serious housing shortage in America.” She also plans to promote legislation creating a new series of tax incentives for builders who construct “starter” homes sold to first-time homebuyers.

She also wants a $40 billion innovation fund — doubling a similar pot of money created by the Biden administration — for businesses building affordable rental housing units. Harris also wants to speed up permitting and review processes to get housing stock to the market more quickly."

3 million in four years is nothing. Then she want to give 40 billion to businesses to build houses. Why not just give 40 billion to the poor to buy a house?

Is any of this going to really help the poor or the middle class?
