We need the Rent Is Too Damn High guy to be in high political office to get this shit under control.

Eh, McMillan is a republican who endorsed Trump. We don’t need him.

At this point we need somebody who will just come out and say it: it's everyone else versus landlords.

Fuck them. You cant outsource an apartment building to China. Make their lives hell and if they decide being a landlord isn't worth it and sell their property at a loss then everyone is better off for it
