I didn't deny that landlords have power. But the power of the vote includes the ability to regulate and control nearly every form of landlords inherent power. Rent control and eviction moratoriums nearly completely neuter landlord power.
Which as I said elsewhere to downvotes, leads to heavy discrimination based on income/class and less supply for the neediest of folk
And when no candidates will enact these policies, largely because of the monied interests elevating them to contention, how does the power to vote help?
These policies are enacted across the country. I must admit to confusion about your hypothetical. Rent control and eviction moratoriums exist in major cities across the USA, so an argument that they can't be enacted because no one will run that supports them is very odd to me.
