The banner saying “socialists exploit affordability crisis” is really pissing me off.
Like, aside from the blatant lie that socialists somehow created the crisis when they’ve never had a meaningful majority in any US branch of government or chamber of Congress, and have never been the ones on corporate executive boards or boards of shareholders or directors or any of that who are actually to blame;
aside from that, the thing that really pisses me off is just how dishonest it is to say they’re “exploiting” a crisis when all they’re doing is offering meaningful solutions that people want and as a result are gaining political support…
Edit: Ah fuck, I meant to post this as a top-level comment. Dunno how it wound up as a reply. Oh well, I’m not fixing it…
