A growing number of Americans are ending up homeless as soaring rents in recent years squeeze their budgets.
According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country’s unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.
Weird how people who are ‘I’m so COMMUMIST!!’ reserve their criticism for US politicians closer to the left and don’t bother saying shit about Trump or the Republicans in congress.
It’s weird how you make things up to get mad at. The BLM uprisings were full of communists, did you forget about that? We were the ones who sided with the People’s demand to defund the police, before liberals betrayed us by trying to frame that as reform the police.
Your confusion comes from thinking liberals are close to the left. They are not. They are capitalist, imperialist, anti-communists.
Also, I am not telling people how to vote. I am criticizing Biden. Am I allowed to do that, or is that blasphemy?
‘defund the police’ and ‘abolish the police’ were very poorly slogans which scared off more people than they attracted.
US Liberals are a LOT closer to leftists than Republicans are… that’s the entire point. Generally they support socialized healthcare, labor unions, worker protections, consumer protection, social safety nets, helping people in need, police reform and many other topics leftists support, while conservatives oppose every single one of those.
Criticize Biden all you want but if it helps get Trump elected, good job I guess.
I want my enemies to be scared.

Except it scared off the people who might have supported you as well.
Just causes hampered or killed by bad optics are legion thru history.
They would never support us. Get real.
You missed the point by a mile. Your slogan is supposed to attract people who would support the policy changes you want, not your ‘enemies’. Saying ‘abolish’ and ‘defund’ didn’t attract the centrists and moderates you’d need to enact changes, which is why ‘reform’ was actually a better choice.
I am uninterested in appealing to the white moderate.
