Grunching but house prices going up is absolutely a bad thing.
It means that we all pay more for housing, even those who own houses. And it means a massive transfer of wealth from the young and poor to the old and rich.
House prices is one area where liberals should clearly be against rises, but most liberals with any influence own houses… So you know.
Housing prices go up because of competition from buyers, which is related to rising wages and confidence in the future. Most of the things that cause housing prices to be low are tied to other negatives (recession, high unemployment, etc.)
Democrats also don’t have a specific policy in their platform to increase housing supply which is the main thing that could impact prices without negatively impacting buyers.
So at this point I don’t think the “Trump supporters aren’t going to see it” thing is necessarily true. Seems more likely they’re going to be told that it’s a good line of attack that they should run with.
One time for Kamala or her surrogates to say they understand why he’s confused about someone being more than one thing because the only thing he’s ever been is a piece of shit.
This seems relevant from (I think) earlier in the week. I think the way the tweeter snipped it is slightly misleading, but the clip still plays as him trying to be understanding of the base he needs to vote for his ticket.
And not in the “he just tells it like it is” form of racism that a number of politically moderate racists secretly kind of agree with. I hope I’m not somehow proven wrong, but beyond being abhorrent I’m pretty sure the birther stuff is really bad politics in a general election too.
