And this is why we don't take liberals seriously on policy. Rules are good enough for thee, but not me me approach to governing. Thanks for being honest about it at least.

Conservatives are poster boys for this...

imagine how much more we have in our heads then what people did say 100 years ago

Liberals have been calling out the NIMBY stuff resulting in significant harm to minority and poor communities for a long time bro.

I hate when that happens

To be more precise: lefties like Bernie have been sincerely calling out the NIMBY stuff and its impact on marginalized communities for a long time, while "corporate Democrats" like Biden/Obama/Pelosi are promoting these exact policies all the time.


On a more general note, I believe that the tension between the economic interests of downscale minorities and those of the upscale suburban white professionals is the most important fault line in the Democratic party. The Dem coalition is held together by a shared interest in social liberalism, but when it comes to economic policy/taxes and such, their coalition doesnt make a lot of sense.

most lefties/liberals/democrats are nimbys at their core.

Barnie has a $600k summer home that he randomly got in the summer of 2016. wonder how that happened. small peanuts compared to the rest of the swamp demons, but as tcock said so eloquently “he is the least successful Jewish person”. tbf Barnie is arguably the most genuine lifelong politician on this front of advocating for legitimate changes, and his net worth really is reasonable for his age and position (its like $2M net worth), but incredibly inefficient at it. he just barks the loudest

Is that true ?
