I don't even think it's trying to win electoral support, I think this is him shoring up so that when Trump falls out of his chair finally (either dead or 25th'd), Vance looks like the "reasonable" face of the religious feudal aristocracy that his backers want him to build.
If the 'priced-out generation' votes for anyone who had anything to do with the Trump administration - if they believe anything Trump's flunkies say - they're stupider than the current diseased crop of MAGAts. Because they've seen these 'leaders' happily going along with Trump, helping themselves to taxpayer's money as though voters had an ATM in their arse. And just because Trump will eventually pop his clogs, it doesn't mean Republicans are gonna suddenly force the corruption genie back in the bottle.
They lose net worth, not actual cash-in-the-bank money.
I'm a homeowner; I know that the value of my house mostly only matters if I plan to sell it and for determining how much I have to pay in property taxes and homeowner's insurance. I support housing prices dropping because everyone should be able to own their home, if they want to.
The problem is that our economy treats homes as investments rather than as homes.
He's not complaining about housing prices. He's selling a risk to other republicans while playing the base.
He's not wrong. He's telling republicans that they've gone too far, and if they don't course correct back to the illusion of a middle class, more voters will look to socialist policy. This is the ping-pong of every civilization.
Obviously he's trying to distance himself from Trump for when he runs for President. Not sure if it will work and he's a complete weirdo.
But Americans are weird too and he's definitely going to run on antisemitic agenda, it's getting to that point in America's fascist plot-line. He's definitely the kind of weasel that could potentially bring together the white supremacist antisemitic base and the "anti-zionist" crowd into the same tent.

I don’t know who could possibly be to blame but I know who’s NOT.
…the party with control of all three branches of the federal government including both houses of Congress.

Vance has presidential ambitions, this is just him trying to win supporters.

Yep. Teeing himself up as anti establishment. Classic. Hope Thiel is his running mate that would be awesome

Absolutely, and I can see him throwing Trump under the bus to get there when he thinks the tide has turned enough and he's got the MAGAloids on side.

Makes me realise I would never be elected to any office, not that I would want to
When a decent part of to population listens to this shit and continues to support them it is hopeless

If home prices go down it means current owners lose money
Those current owners do a good job of voting and contributing to political spending
It's hard to see anyone making a real positive change here

not if you look at that asshats post history.

Oh, would you look at that. That's definitely an account that's parroting Russian propaganda.
I always forget that there's differing reasons to hate capitalism.
