You cracked the case!
It wasn't anything like coordinated rent increases from large groups of landlords using a pricing app, it wasn't a worldwide pandemic disrupting the market, it wasn't America keeping housing as an investment vehicle instead of a means of sheltering humans, it wasn't decades of wealthy investors buying housing to convert into rentals.
Nope, all of that complexity can be tossed out the window because one single man is to blame: Joe Biden. All in his first term as president too!
Which Biden has no interest in doing anything about. Why isn't he using the bully pulpit to name and shame enemies of his administration?
It's been years since you and the rest of Democrats gave a shit about COVID, so it's hypocritical to blame the ongoing pandemic.
Perhaps if Biden didn't give up entirely on public health then the ongoing economic problems caused by COVID could be addressed, but instead we don't even talk about it like it's still a serious issue and ignore the ongoing wave of deaths. We are still having excess deaths far above the pre-pandemic period, but I bet you don't even wear a mask to the store. What a joke.
Both problems are something Biden helped establish over his long tenure as a Senator.
Liberals in every country do this thing where they use complexity as a way to mystify and obscure the consequences of their party's actions and inaction. Somehow the President is powerless and problems come from nowhere. No one is to blame, except maybe the red team.
Both parties are neolibs.
It's just a duopoly.
All of your critiques apply to both parties.
I'm left so I hate right.
I'm right so I hate left.
So boring.
Introduce ranked choice voting.
We could hate omnidirectionally.
Out of curiosity, why do people write things like that? There's 0% change of this happening. Are you delusional and propose this as actual solution or are you so disillusioned that at this point you don't even care about actual solutions and just want to play fantasy politics?
