Electing someone who is actually DOING STUFF for the city he's elected to run? I mean, yeah we should totally hate that. 😩
electing someone who even understands what their job even is seems to be a welcome change. Schumer claims his whole job is keeping the dems in line with what a foreign power wants. And almost all of congress seem sto agree. Thats not their job at all. And that rot goes top to bottom through both parties. The president and judiciary also dont seem to understand what their jobs are anymore. Cops too, no frickin idea what they do exactly.
Cops document events and threaten violence. Well, instigate violence as well, but only the Rotten Apples™.
Good and carry on. The USA needs a progressive left president too.
Amazing what electing somebody who wasn't born in the 1940s can do!
There are tons of young fascists.
are there? hard to say with none of them in charge of anything. So where'd you se that, some TV show?
Seems to me when we get the oldsters out of the way, a lot of problems also go away. ever notice how racism and sexism is much more prevalent and "normal" with older people? Stands to reason that putting those people in care homes and out of power would make drastic improvements to society.
I think it depends on your definition of "young", but there are the folks like Kyle Rittenhouse, Jacob Chansley, Ben Shapiro, and tons of other netizens younger than Joe Rogan with their hate-mongering podcasts. Being emboldened in the way they are, more seem to be popping out of the woodwork instead of being shamed or reformed into better viewpoints.
Oh god. I didn't do this math. This means that the same people in that age bracket were kids glued to the TV during all the McCarthy-era bullshit. No wonder.
don't forget decades of breathing aerosolized lead!
Not to mention global radioactive contamination from nuclear weapons testing and the occasional reactor meltdown!
To be fair I think this guy has actual talent for this kind of work.
Republicans, propping up Mamdani?
Interesting strategy. But you know what they say, never interrupt your enemy while they're making a fatal mistake.
Let's hope it works out EXACTLY as well for them as Hillary's Pied Piper strategy of boosting Trump did!
Optimal tip-to-tip efficiency?
Progressives have been hoping for someone like Mamdani to actually win an election for a long time, now. If he is what finally instigates a break in the wall the Democratic party has erected, it's not surprising that others are picking up their sledgehammers.
But leftists are both useless and totally destructive at the same time according to neo-liberals.
I hope this brings enough change to make the Democrats actually progressive instead of giving lips service to it then doubling down on corporatism.
Who cares if the Dems go progressive? It's the voters who are important. The Republicans kept resisting the rising far right movements like the Tea Party, and then MAGA, but the voters just bulldozed right over them.
The corporatist establishment Democrats all made it extremely clear that they would prefer a corrupt asshole like Adams for Mayor, but the people told them to go fuck themselves, and now the DNC has no choice but to get on board.
The voters don't have to do what the DNC demands, but the DNC has to live with whoever the voters force upon them.
This is how MAGA took over the republicans.
Now we just have to convince leftists to get out and vote in the primaries and generals which might be a chore.
Except the leftists did vote that's why he's there? Maybe it's because he wasn't a shit tier neo-liberal candidate like the Democrats have put up in the last election.
