OP just said that under Trump the genocide is happening faster and you don't consider that worse off?

I also think the arguments people like you made for people to vote for Harris were really really bad and that you are enabling the Democrats to continue down a terrible path of failure.
The argument I made for people to vote for Harris was that this is exactly what will happen if Trump wins, and 3 months before an election is not the time to try to get a viable alternative. Harris sucked, her campaign was shit, but the alternative is running the predictable course.
Now is an excellent time to work on a viable alternative, but saying "both are the same" is disingenuous, and is not actually putting an alternative forward.
This was your exact statement.
Incorrect. My exact statement was:
they’re undergoing renovations (source)
The only thing your source says is “Some are seasonal homes, some are undergoing renovations, and others are simply being held as investments.” it does not provide a number or a link. 2 houses undergoing renovations counts as “some”.
(emphasis added)
A single sentence on both sides of what you quoted provide all the context you need. If you pay any attention to the context it's clear I was referencing renovations, especially when you consider that the paragraph before I responded to the point about vacation homes, and the paragraph after I responded to the point of them being held for investments. Anyone bothering to read what I was saying instead of skimming for things to argue against would have recognized I was splitting up the specific points using clear quotes and paragraphs to differentiate which specific point I was addressing at the time.
But you’re not worth any courtesy or effort. Like what the fuck is your problem? This was meant to be a lighthearted discussion, why are you acting like you got log jammed up your ass? Like holy shit do you sound like an absolutely insufferable douche. But you know what, you’re absolutely right, this conversation is not worth continuing. You’re not worth my time, so piss off asshole.
Every accusation is a confession. I said you're not paying attention to what I'm saying, you responded with swears, cursing and personal insults. Like what the fuck is your problem?
Then you start to get rent payments from your tenants (usually). It covers your mortgage payments, your insurance and legal fees and property taxes and maintenance costs mostly
Your tenants are paying more in order to cover the costs of you being a middle man here, yes. Nowhere in that list did you say anything a landlord provides, they just insert themselves in the middle, raise the cost, and pretend that doesn't make them a parasite.
But at least you housed three families for your effort.
No, you didn't. You denied housing for three families and the equity they would have recieved if you didn't exist.
Things like universal healthcare have actually been found to be productive my most countries
And things like government provided housing has also been found to be productive.
You know, in case your a fucking ghoul a need proof of productivity before saving someone's fucking life.
The pricing is based on the market
Market value is based off of demand. People purchasing extra homes to profit off of increases that demand and therefore increases the cost.
But most people are stuggling now, even if they can afford to be in a house, so how can they afford to also pay your rent? Why is it fair to ask them to?
Tax billionaires.
There is very little that the Trump regime is doing that the Democrats weren't doing less obnoxiously and on a much slower timescale.
That part is important. I hear you about "the lesser evil" but if you're response to resisting a lesser evil results in a faster, accelerated evil then you have contributed to a much greater harm. If you doubt me, ask a Palestinian if they are better off with Democrats not having any power.
This feels like trying to explain to someone that you can have 2 different infinities, and one is larger than the other. Both are bad, but one is clearly worse.
"What's the difference if you end up at the same place?"
The difference is that 2 genocides is not the same place as 1 genocide. It is reasonable to criticize the people supporting a genocide while at the same time recognizing that the people wanting more genocides are not the same.
The Anti-vax movement was started and funded by Big Pharma, because there is more money to be made in treating a disease than there is in preventing it.
It does provide a link to a study actually, check again.
There's no data for renovations specifically...
So when I specificly quoted the word renovations, and said it does not provide links or sources in my paragraph about renovations, did you think maybe I was talking about data for renovations?
You literally just told me to check again for data you admit doesn't exist 2 sentences later. Either you're not paying attention to what is being said, or your looking for whatever excuse you can to disagree with me in order to ignore what I'm actually saying. Either way continuing would be a waste of time.
Barbarian just ripped the head off of one of the guards, you think the other guard is going to be able to arrest them?
"Answer our questions or you're next."
My favorite take on this:
The third guard stabs people who ask tricky questions.
I don't live in the US, there are no consequences for me as a result of Trump being president. Significantly more people are being harmed under Trump and I actually give a shit about other people instead of putting some idealized moral high ground above actual human lives.
