The Abundance movement is decidedly not pushing for the status quo. They are pushing for removing a good number of regulations on home building and zoning.

That is an active change

You misread my comment, I meant the status quo of the current democratic party leadership.

Whatever deregulation "abundance liberalism" pushes for, it will immediately be killed off or undone by the people that benefitted from those regulations. The democratic party is plagued by private interests (almost as much as the republicans), who very much do not want to see homes getting cheaper.

The establishment, through its neoliberalist direction, has shown that it has either no interest or is completely powerless to curb the growing inequalities and societal issues stemming from them. Only a fool would fall for it again, because it is rebranded from "neoliberalism" to "abundance liberalism". "Deregulation" has been the chief word in politics for 50 years, what makes you think it will lead to somthing any different this time?
