"Republican ad makers will know what to do with this," what are they gonna do, say the same shit that they always say?

"It'll be 9/11, times a million"

You can't do a little bit of socialism, like Roosevelt, because then the fascists could end up being right for once! Obviously we gotta do more of the neoliberal proto-fascism, that sowed the seeds of fascism, instead...

And why do their ads matter at all, when it should be about what Democratic voters expect from their representatives? Apparently, people in these circles believe that the only thing that counts in a democracy is who is more effective at lying to the population—seems like a great guy, this Sheinkopf.

The world if half of the accusations of reactionaries, neoliberals and other fascists against moderate and actual progressives were true:

i think that's the real stickler, the idea of a politician in power who isn't a pedophile rapist like all the rest of them is terrifying.

Even if that were true, the real estate market is supposed to be a fluctuating thing, it's supposed to be slow growth, it's only very recently in history that it's stopped having natural peaks and ebbs, and just gone straight up at rocketing rates. It's supposed to have a buyers market (where prices are low) and a sellers market (where prices are high) but they took away the checks and blanaces and unnaturally forced the market into a sellers market only and then investment firms bought up all the stock. The world isn't supposed to be like this, they've rigged the game. Why do they get to rig the game to their favor. Why can't other have a shot at a comfortable life, because that's all us plebs are asking for and they won't even give that.

Homeowners will also pay less in property tax.
