[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who gives a crap? I can’t stand Bernie, but this focus on his homes is ridiculous. Moreover, those places are not extravagant; in fact, the lake house looks like a dump. The DC place is referred to as an ‘apartment’. Those are townhomes. Does this mean Bernie rents an apartment in someone else’s home? Give it a rest. Focus on Bernie’s ideas, not his homes. [/quote]

The Lakehouse is valued at $600,000, is  waterfront, and has a guest house.  [/quote]

I don’t get it.  He earned money.  What do you want him to do with it?[/quote]

how about sharing it with his female staffers.

Bernie reminds me so much of my boomer parents' friends - these old school lefties who talk for hours about the need for more equality, the need for more affordable housing - then complain when rent control laws mean they can't kick tenants out of the house they just bought without offering them some compensation.[/quote]

I’m sorry your parents are friends with jerks but that’s largely irrelevant and I’m sorry this “3 house” attack isn’t resonating.

Life is so hard for trolls![/quote]

I'm not a troll, and I don't actually care if Bernie has three houses, or seven. I do think it's a little rich for him to purport that he has a modest lifestyle as a low level millionaire who earned his money while complaining about other rich people. I did genuinely grow up knowing a lot of people like this. They call themselves "comfortable" - they are rich but don't identify as rich.

I'd pick Bernie 1000 times out of 1000 over Trump. But I do roll my eyes at him.[/quote]
