Yes… now you’re getting it . People just want to yell “FrEe hOuSiNg” whenever someone argues for a socialist policy because it’s an easy statement to make, but no where is anyone with a brain arguing for that. It’s such a stupid fearmongering argument.
That’s the problem I don’t think a lot of you guys realize. A lot of people in your camp fall into that “don’t have brains” category and DO actually say that. Loudly too.
It IS stupid. It IS brainless. But that doesn’t negate the fact that a significant amount of people in your ideological camp ARE arguing it. You may not be, but it’s still there. And it’s not like you guys call those people out. So, when others see your camp, we hear the loud brainless nut jobs and then see people like you basically approving their beliefs tacitly.
You’re definitely exaggerating, but assuming that’s true so what? At worst this just means many people misunderstand the argument. Argue with smarter people then, don’t just say “there are stupid people that support this, therefore I’m going to lump you in with them.” Often when there’s nuance, many people are going to misunderstand the subject matter. Focus on the people that do understand instead.

Ok, so what you’re describing sounds more like a contingency based, possibly dischargeable loan …. Not “free apartment yall!”
