Granted, I think there are certain things Dems suck balls at governing in. But that stuff is largely at the local level in progressive cities where Dems easily hold the power.
Local Dem governments tend to be infested with NIMBYs and everything bagel liberalism, which ends up exacerbating the housing crisis and everything that comes along with that. As an example, look at the NIMBY rat nest that is San Francisco politics. Not that Repubs are better locally, either; they also tend to be infested with NIMBYs, on top of all the usual GOP malarkey.
All that to say Dems are almost universally better than GOP at state and federal level, but you really gotta go on a candidate-by-candidate basis amongst Dems at the local level. Many are great, while many others are hot NIMBY garbage.
