If you don't think you need a better solution then you have to admit you need a better argument; it seems like a lot of voters disagree with you.

I don't know man, appealing to the authority of the collective wisdom of the voters seems like a pretty shaky foundation on which to base an argument these days.

The parent comment was “if you want this policy, tough shit move to Europe”. If the policy is popular here, why doesn’t parent comment move?

If you want rent control, I'm saying you should go elsewhere.

If you are against rent control, my comment did not imply what you should or shouldn't do.

you'd probably get a better answer if you were to ask the person who made that comment.
