They don't have empathy. The crying lady is brown, they're ecstatic.

You've missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of "their enemies" is exactly what they want. They know they're the bad guys and revel in it.

It's actually unique to americas - older countries are less likely to do this.

Nah, corporate landlords at least tend to have minimum standards and contractors on call.

These type of small time landlords are the ones that tell you that a working refrigerator is a luxury, and water damage due to a cracked pipe in the wall is the tenant's responsibility.

Brother have you just willfully ignored what US CEOs say every day about US workers?

Just to counterpoint: you do know why, exactly, it is that the south has more black people than the north, right? (Hint: it's not because they were so much more accepting)

Some call it hypocrisy, others call it "survival instinct"

fwiw, the roads are constantly littered with accidents and the US has the highest pedestrian fatality rate out of all "western" nations

Ironic considering in the USA this person would likely have a much more linent sentence for this specific crime

That's your prerogative, just recognize that if both options support genocide and block strikes, so you chose to vote for a non viable candidate, or to not vote, you're effectively disenfranchising yourself.

Your last point is very valid though. The DNC is very good at shooting themselves in the foot because they should know very well that people do get demotivated and just stop voting, yet continue to distance themselves from their voter base, resting on their laurels as "the only sane choice out of the two".

Supporting local candidates, where your vote also is more heavily weighted, is one of the ways to shift policy - the US govt isnt just the president, it's representatives and senators and state governments.

Voting for someone in an election in the US is not an endorsement of that person. You have effectively two choices in many of the elections due to how the system is designed. You vote for the best choice of those two.

Not voting, or voting for a non viable candidate, is a signal that you Do Not Care who is in power.

Voting is a tool, and a civic duty. It's one of the few ways US society allows direct input from citizens.

If you actually are against facism, don't use misguided idealism to encourage people to throw away the little political power they have.

It generally doesn't though. People who rent aren't suddenly going to be able to afford to buy. If you look at cities that do these policies, homeownership rates do go up, but the entire lower income community is basically evicted from the city. It's basically accelerated gentrification.
