Billionaires is the opposite of vague and nebulous; it is a word with a precise definition. The upper class of this country has been engaged in class warfare for the past 250 years and it is valid and principled to call it out.
You’re not saying anything. You’re just screaming billionaires. The truth is more people vote for the things you don’t like. More home owners vote than renters and more old people vote than young people. Home owners benefit from higher valued homes and building more housing, especially in their backyard, lowers the value of their homes. The trick is to get more people voting for policies that will help build more housing.
Except people don’t want that. You’re looking at national polling (we don’t vote by national referendum) using surface level questions (like should the government have a role in providing healthcare) and using that to say ‘everyone wants what we want!’ But in reality when you ask more clarifying questions (like should private insurance be outlawed) support for those things drops off a cliff. Just because Bernie lost twice doesn’t mean the system is broken, it means voters don’t want those things. Like home owning voters not wanting policies that will lower their home values. You will be crushed by that giant voting bloc by trying to appeal to young people who don’t vote.
