ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I saw this but I thought it was an exaggeration, he actually said the words Why is it so hard to NOT piss off your own potential voters?!?! What is more demoralizing! People arguing with you on twitter over universal healthcare, or the candidate himself telling you off ? 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in one of the smaller towns in East Florida and the average rent here for apartments is approaching $900 a month. Fun fact: that's over 100 hours of minimum wage work just to meet rent in a lot of places. Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hm. Maybe a joke, but the optics do kind of write themselves. It's unfortunate that its so believable, because he HAS said rude things to voters that weren't just jokes 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not from Biden, as I don’t follow much about him) I had a Grandpa that would watch old westerns, maybe I heard it at some point? Lol You’ve got to remember that the majority of Biden’s voters are older. They’ve probably seen John Wayne movies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorusRa2 5,005 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 So glad this thread was posted. It really showed how vicious somebody in this thread can be, how they have the gall to act outraged at the idea of national rent control and how they have disdain for the poor. You hate to see it folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have enough money to buy Sanders book at $30. Gimme a break. Also what kind of phone do you have is a it a flip phone or an iPhone? Asking for a friend who knows how to not starve while paying rent. I never said I wasn't able to afford an iPhone, you're actively avoiding the point. I may be able to afford an iPhone, I may be able to find two jobs and manage my time around them, I may not have a family who I also have to feed with my two jobs, I may have a job that can make me earn more than the minimum wage, but I am not blind and I can obviously see there are people who don't have any of that, and no, it isn't because of them, but because people don't care about poor people because those people are selfish and only care about their own well-being.

But over the long term it made things worse.... Recently they relaxed most of the rent control laws and we've seen permits and construction greatly increase Everyone reacting with LMAOs should understand that policies sometimes meant to accomplish something don't always accomplish what it's intention was at least not without side effects This is why I'm Centre-Left on economics but not all the way left... I like the idea of protection for consumers and workers and some redistribution... But u also can't deny that not every policy works as great as it sounds. Some stuff backfires or has offsetting impacts that on a net basis ends up making things worse I think ppl should consider the broader scope of everything in more detail rather than automatically supporting a policy just because it sounds like it's on the workers or people's sides I've had this conversation with some ppl like @Woolfsmck @Florin @Florian I believe and I know some of these ppl don't automatically accept every left wing policy for the same reasons Intent does not always = actual results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the point of this criticism. Our alternative (the status quo) is much more dystopian than the potential losses of a not 100% successful rent control system. Finally, opposition on the basis that "X method" didn't work, is unrelated to "Let's try Y method" 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
