    Put pressure on politicians to do better

    And even if they dont do better, elect them anyway. That’ll teach them.

      Don’t vote and help their much worse fascist opponents get elected instead, which will affect the general population, not the wealthy elites. That’ll teach them!

          You’re correct. But they get fucked much harder one way than the other. It’s all about harm reduction.

            Harm reduction is a myth, people have been preaching harm reduction for decades and there’s been no reduction in harm. Quite the opposite, poverty has increased. Homelessness is at a rate not seen since the Great depression, income inequality is the highest ever recorded. The most percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck is higher than any other level recorded. There has been no reduction in harm.

              Wasn’t homelessness during the great depression roughly at a percentage rate of 1.5% of the nation (upwards of 2 million people)? Are you sure we have a homeless rate not seen since the great depression? As for all the other stuff…yeah that’s pretty bad, especially the income inequality over the decades and decades.

              You are now just blatantly lying. Poverty and homelessness has been trending down for decades.

                Let’s see. The government tells us that poverty is trending down for decades, yet the number of people living paycheck to paycheck has been increasing. The number of renters that cannot afford their rent has been increasing, homelessness is at the largest level ever recorded, but the claim is poverty is decreasing. Have you ever stopped to consider? Maybe they are lying?

                  More damn lies.

                  yet the number of people living paycheck to paycheck has been increasing

                  No it’s not.

                  The number of renters that cannot afford their rent has been increasing

                  No it’s not.

                  homelessness is at the largest level ever recorded

                  Not even close.

                  You got any sources for your bullshit, other than “my ass”?

                    2016 Paycheck to paycheck rate 38%

                    2020 Paycheck to paycheck rate 63%

                    2023 paycheck to paycheck rate 78%, up 6% since 2022

                    50% of renters cant afford their rent

                    Hopelessness at record level

                    NPR article about record homelessness

                    I won’t say you are lying, but ignorant of the facts.
