  • It's basically like saying "illegal immigrants" aren't made up for Trump. Like, obviously people coming into the country illegally exist, but the dude was just making shit up when it came to the actual numbers.

  • enabling those same oligarchs to undermine our democracy.

    Oh you didn't hear? You can't say oligarchs because American simpletons need to hear "king" instead because we have a long history of fighting kings and definitely not because the term oligarch applies to more than just Trump but instead better describes the cozy relationship between money and power in this country and illustrates that the rich have captured the government.

  • It really feels like you’re just looking for a reason to be angry, and it doesn’t actually matter if it’s here or not, since you already have a notion of what you’re angry about.

    This really feels like projection, bud. I'm with Democrats that want to do shit. To the point where I just donated to hoggs cause and skipped kamala's.

    Sure, politicians mostly talk, but some also put their skin in the game while others sit on the sidelines and say what they're doing wrong.

    Maybe the focus groups say it would be 10% more effective for AOC to use the word King rather than oligarch, but you know what matters more? The movement showing the fuck up in the first place.

  • You're not really even in the same category as the idle rich. Like sure, you can sell your house and get a profit but you have to live somewhere. If you bought again a similar house in the same area you'd break even.

    I've got a quarter million dollars in appreciated wealth from my home in five years, but that's only useful to me if I want to take out a HELOC (with shitty ass rates) or move to someplace that sucks a lot worse.

    Every other option would require me to become a landlord, in which case I would be part of the problem.

    I'm looking to buy a better place and sure my place went up in value, but unless I want to also change locales I'm gonna have to fork over another wad of bills to get one.

    It's definitely not as bad as being a new market entrant with no capital and no existing investment, but it certainly isn't the lighting up cigars with hundreds type of wealth you're pretending it is.
