Rent Is Too Damn High Party Candidate Shines In Debate
With talk of witches, tea partying and bong hits dominating the more absurd aspects of this election cycle, we weren’t sure if things could get any wilder.
At last night’s debate among the candidates vying to be New York’s next governor, we were proved wrong.
In what can only be seen as a testament to the state’s inclusion, seven candidates participated in the debate.
One of them had a simple message: The Rent Is Too Damn High.
Jimmy McMillan, of The Rent Is Too Damn High Party elicited laughter and applause from the crowd towing his party line repeatedly during the debate.
Don’t take our word for it, see for yourself:
In all seriousness though, the rent really is too damn high.

As a born and raised New Yorker I can truly testify that the rent in New York is CRAZY and the reason I live with my momma @ 36 yrs old! The developers work with New York City officials to RAPE New Yorkers & there is no such thing as “affordable housing”! Also between former Mayor Guillani changing the neighborhoods (to suit developers @ the expense of families) Bedford Stuyvesant has become Stuyvesant Heights allowing for no real change in the community (crime & provery) but opens up the neighborhood to gentification. Basically making people who grew up & maintained the neighborhood feel like outsiders! I can no longer afford to live in BedStuy since a studio in a crack infested building is $1,350.00! Areas that were considered ghetto are now trendy, that’s why you see so many young white hippsters moving to Brooklyn. BTW: F*** JayZ he doesn’t care about BK! He’s helping to kick people out of Atlantic Terminals to build a stadium for a team that he owns less than 1% in. In Marcy Projects he’s a sell out! Don’t take my word for it do some research! Just look at Harlem, nuff said!
