No, I'm saying that affordability is a universal thing, while 'kitchen table issues' is usually code for a specific, middle class oriented approach (the Baileys?) that is more about shoring up the status quo than tackling structural problems we face.

You have to own a kitchen table for starters!

Venezuelan Simo Hayha is gonna have a ton of fancam tributes on Rednote, I can see it already

Zohran Mamdani absolutely fuckin cooks this one. In fact at this point his entire run for Mayor is like watching peak Ali box or Hendrix shred: his touch is 🤌

He's going to redefine politics for a generation.

Instead of using Hulk Hogan as a Trojan horse to destroy Gawker because he was mad they outed him, bro could have just posted a selfie with the caption "if I'm supposed to be gay, why is my skincare routine so shit?"
