There's a line to draw between exploiting tenants, and compensation for providing dwelling.

You might even argue the OP creates this ambiguity based on interpretation of the wording, or poor communication.

For a productive conversation, let's be crystal clear where that line is drawn.

Attacking the right is exactly what the people in power want. You don't even have to admit you were wrong. Let's agree that people on the right are otherwise good people that have been manipulated by the media to hate another group of people.

Worse, vulnerable people were told to hate other people. In an environment that doesn't perpetuate class warfare, I think a lot of ordinary Republicans would otherwise be very decent people. Demonizing Republican voters only serves to drive the wedge between The People, which is exactly what those in power want, so they can stay in power.

Americans don't really value freedom. Not really. Americans pretend they like freedom, but they will give up all their freedoms for the slightest bit of convenience, and because social media told them so.

Am I talking about consumer electronics, or politics? Impossible to say.

You, the people, out in the streets, rioting, en masse. That's how democracy was won, and it's what is needed to maintain it.

A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.
