It’s only presenting two options while there are more reasonable options than the two presented. But we could say it’s a strawman since it’s presenting a scenario of an evil landlord in an attempt to make the alternative seem more reasonable.
Either way it’s fallacious logic and it’s all moot since free housing isn’t feasible. Another day, another leftist shitpost.
You wanna name any of these alternatives, or are we just using the fallacy fallacy to wave away arguments we don’t like?
Perhaps, as you claim, free housing isn’t feasible. But you can walk up any road in any street in any city in the world to find a real example of this “strawmanned” landlord.
Maybe raise wages so people can afford to buy a home?
There are economic policies that have been done in the past to do this and they worked. Keynesian policies, taxing the wealthy, various housing plans. There was a housing shortage post WWII and it was solved. We know exactly how to solve this problem because we’ve solved this problem in the past.
Just a lot of people don’t know to vote for it because the options are presented as being a decision between status quo and some commie bullshit by the likes of Fox News. Leftists always seem like they’re trying to be willing strawmen to help the right win elections so nothing will ever change. You’re creating a false dichotomy between status quo and something that obviously won’t work, so people choose the status quo.
It’s not a dichotomy. It’s just a comparison. There is no suggestion that these are the only two options.
