>The rentier class has tools to prevent such coordinated voting. They divide us with scare tactics on fringe issues, religion, encourage over identifying with things/movements/celebrities, etc.

The "rentier class" in question here is a bunch of slumlords who own a few apartments as part of an LLC they have with their buddies and boomers who have retired to their vacation home and are AirBnBing their former primary residence, not Blackrock and friends, big money only owns a small fraction of property. The average landlord is some other middle or upper middle class schmuck.
