After 2016, ive wondered for a while if it would have made more sense to run progressives in republican primaries instead of dem ones. We would probably have been better off if progressives took advantage of republican party weaknesses

The revolution will not be televised

I dont think the apartments should be small, ive lived in apartments for most of my life. Msxing out square footage is also a shitty developer tactic, but thats another story

We arent a homogenous group, but ill tell you my personal opinion.

I trust you when you say your aunt is not bad, but what she is doing is bad (and i am sure she is unaware of it). Those 3 to 5 houses she bought are 3 to 5 houses that families cant buy. A few bad side effects:

1. It lowers the housing stock in the area, so artifucial scarcity brings the prices up artificially.
2. It seperates families from their communities. When your children grow up and have famailies ofbtheir own, they cant afford to stay in the community and are forced to leave
3. The families that do stay and are forced to rent arent building any equity for their children. In effect, it stunts upward mobility.

There are people who do want to rent, and people whoneed to rent, but that should happen in priperly dense apartment building designed specifically for that. When houses meant for families are snatched up to profit off of, it is parasitic.

I get it, they are just trying to survive. They are playing the game that exists. Thats why i personally dont belive that most landlords like you are describing are bad people. I think the ultinate issue is that out elected officials do nothing about it. It should be illegal, or have tax implications that discourage the practice.

If you didnt buy it in this scenario, then market pressure eventually pushes the proce down until someone is willing (and able) to buy it.

Focus on an issue that affects the most people at first. Keep doing that instrad so people stop seeing it as "they only care about them" and start seeing it as "those people care about everyone".

Whether we like it or not, thats how a lot of people see it. "They care more about a tranny going to the bathroom then me struggling to pay bills". Its not right, but it is what it is. So lets do things that lift everyone and then we get capital to focus on a few.

The ban, but more the protest. Its just another distraction and people take the bait.

Whats a waste of energy

Thats a clever way to explain away the flaw. Ok ill buy it. Its scifi afterall. I can suspend my disbelief

Its really impracticle. Its riding so low to the ground. What kind of combat terrain could it possibly be useful in othet than a perfect undisturbed urban street?

They refuse to meet people at their level, and its killing the party.

My understanding is that the families are willing to forgive the debt to them if the onion is the purchaser. If you add the value of that to the bid, it far outweighs the 3.5 million.

I would send him to Europe over the Caribbean. Its too easy to stay on the resort and learn nothing in the Carribean.

When i was in ny early 20s, i was a Ron Paul guy. When I was in my early 30s, I was a Bernie guy.

So what changed, and what was the same? In my 20s, I didnt have a fundamental understanding of how money really works. Ron Paul was big on the gold standard, which makes sense kn the surface. Crypto is similar where it makes sense on the surface; finite supply means no inflation and no value loss. I somehow also reasoned that not having the gold standard was the cause of inequality, but I honeslty cant understand why, and i cant remember either.

In my 30s, I understood how they money system works mich better. Why we left the gold standard, and how it was holding back progress. I understood how our money is actually backed by muscle, and therefore the national debt doesnt really matter all that much until the day comes when the dollar has no value, because the US is defunct.

Im sure I have much more to learn as I am in my early 40s now.

The point I am trying to make, is that your son probably lacks understanding and wisdom, and is currently easily swayed by surface level logic.

Thisbis really in addition to the other great stuff people have said in here

I hope they do siothey accidentally turn off their internet progaganda stream

This is just a distraction and rage bait. Sarah McBride herself knows that. Best to ignore it and move on

Its notnjust DC. There are millions of federal workers all across the 50 states. I cant think of a better way to mobilize millions of voters into direct action.

We need to seize it though. Call them for what they are; job destroyers.

Dude this just isnt the way. Whether you like it or not a lot of people feel this way, and it permeates a lot of things. "Im suffering so why am i last?". I agree that these are two different issues but lets stop calling people stupid for not understanding.

Someone who hafve nothing to hide would want it released. Lets face facts though, he could have been the ringleader of the pizzagate sex dungeon and these jabronies wouldnt care

Its not going to work out the way they think it will, because government jobs have a good pension that you dont want to walk away from. This is just going to disrupt peoples lives needlessly and destroy morale.
