  • Agreed. Absolutely agreed.

    She offered so little in the first place that the fact that she was told to offer even less with expectations that it would make her win the more desperate masses because it wasn’t anything “bad™” at least… It’s a huge statement on what they want to offer and what they expect in return:

    The answer to both is simply, nothing.
    Give nothing and expect nothing in return so that things hopefully stay the same. It’s a massive failing of politics right now.

    That promise for housing gets misquoted as well as what she actually offered was:
    First generation homebuyers who no one in their family has ever owned a house, after paying rent in a government approved rental firm for 2 years could get up to $25,000. And stated starter homes would cost between $300,000 and $800,000 dollars depending on location.

    She did have a point to ask Congress to pass legislation to slow people buying more than 50 single family homes.

    This was lost to her wealthy advisors telling her to not go through with these plans as they would impact the investment opportunities of housing.

    She barely even got to flash before the DNC tried to reign in anything that might change things.

    You mistake your own thoughts for those of others. It’s a common bias to assume you are the norm for knowledge or emotional response.

    There are plenty of people who absolutely do seek and enjoy violence on other people and there is plenty of history to back that up. As well as sports, boxing, and just general bar fights.
