• Raise the minimum wage, implement a single-payer universal healthcare system.

      When Sanders was on stage at Fox News being grilled by their anchors for being “too radical”, Sanders turned to the audience and asked them if these policies were really so radical.

      The Fox News audience chanted “No!” (to the surprise of the Fox anchors).

      Slashing healthcare costs and putting more money in people’s pockets are winning strategies, especially if you can call out Republicans on their bullshit messaging.

      You get healthcare, you get healthcare, everyone gets free healthcare.

      The rent is too damn high, we’re going to put crippling taxes for owning empty housing

      We’re going to tax corporations and close loopholes, and get rid of all income taxes for all

      Clear messaging with easy, simple solutions. Ram them through.

      They’ll cause side effects, but who cares? The cost of rent will plummet, Americans will have more money in their pockets, and they’ll get on board with more nuanced things. People will worry about their retirements or “the economy” at first, but they’ll get on board when these simple promises are fulfilled and they feel it

      Then we work on unions, tax breaks and sweetheart loans for worker owned businesses, breaking up corporations, an actual green new deal, fixing elections, etc. All the nitty gritty most voters don’t want to take the time to understand

      And we’ll just keep hitting it. They say “Our economy is ruined, these people are destroying this country”. We don’t bring up facts and figures, just keep slamming soundbytes “is your rent cheaper? Is your paycheck bigger? These people want to tax you so they can pay off the 1%”

          See, but you’re making it complicated again. You want to stop black rock, but how? If I rent out a couple houses, are you going to come after me? What if this crashes my home prices?

          You need to be able to turn around and say “people are homeless. If you have a an empty house, rent it or sell it, otherwise get fucked”

          You can’t get into commodificstion of housing or go after investment companies, that muddies the waters. People believe all these myths about how markets work, if you leave an opening they’re going to start getting people worried about themselves losing something, or they’re going to see it as an empty promise

          But you keep it simple - empty houses = get fucked
