wait for the supreme court to overturn it because it "violates the free speech of companies" or sth
that's why we need states' rights, sothat we're resilient against the bullshit of the fed.gov. because let's face it, 90% of the fuck-ups happen at the fed.gov level. the municipality can do a lot of good. the city builds schools, the fed.gov goes to war with iraq.
mamdani paves the way. that's what we need in every city. taxes should be paid to the city, not to the fed.gov. that's what brings political power down to the lower level, closer to the people, holds politicians more directly accountable since they now live within walking distance of the population and every vote matters more on the smaller level.
Interesting that Democrats have become the party of state's rights now.
It's always been a defensive redoubt for the party out of power. Very popular among Democrats during the Bush and Reagan years, too.
that was trump's plan all along :p
Absolutely. I would encourage you to give the video a watch as this part directly addresses your concerns about 'violates free speech' and state rights.
It's a damn shame Mamdani is ineligible to run for president.
