If Mamdani loses the general that should be a wake up call to Americans that even the illusion of their democracy is dead. The man behind the curtain isn't even hiding anymore.
Meaning, if Mamdani loses it is only because the full forces of the capitalist class from both of their parties were able win.
You seem to think that there is some major difference between New York and some southern town in Georgia for example. And to many degrees there are. But it's not because the people have fundamentally different wants and goals. The people throughout this country want a good job, a place to live, healthcare, and an end to wars of the empire. The major difference between them is how their concent is manufactured.
The difference isn't in policy or even in politics. The difference is in the ability to break through the existing lies they are distracted by. Racism, xenophobia, queerphobia, etc.
Most working class people in America will be open to progressive policies when they see them actually implemented successfully in major blue cities.
I'm not saying to run as a socialist in Savannah, GA. I'm saying that we do not give away ground. We continue to push for further leftists politicians like Mamdani where we can win. And that will literally shift the entire nations politics.
These are the only wins we can hope for in electoral politics right now. Because by the time we're voting for another president it's going to be to late. The fascist state will have been fully established.
Yeah. We should keep running more milk toast politicians with vague policies like "affordability" or "abundance" (I think that's their new term for more neoliberalism now) that'll show em!
Dude, free busses, rent control, and public grocery stores are not some "far left" policy. They are standard in much of the world.
The Democratic party is the failure that it is today BECAUSE they tried to convince you that democratic socialist policies would not win. They do. Fucking Kentucky has a publicity owned and operated Internet provider. There is nothing radical or far left about Mamdani's policy plans.
I'm talking about the normalization of Islamphobia that followed. Racism towards Arabs in this country has reached the point of 1930s Germany and it's antisemitism.
You not easily recognizing it isn't your fault. But you denying it and playing defense for it is absolutely your fault. Do better.
This. People can make more in the US because the country doesn't give a fuck about it's people. It's like gambling the health and wellness of you and your family to horde up some Cash.
You're not wrong. America has used Gaza as a testing ground for their suppression and terror on population. The biggest difference is that Palestinians are united against their occupiers and even still are resisting the fascist Ethnostate of Israel. They have perfected their terror in drone and AI weapons.
We, we are not united. And we have too many liberals standing on the sidelines hoping the next vote will make things normal again.
Absolutely. ICE should not feel safe getting out of their vans. Especially in Blue cities.
In Seattle one thing we've been doing is trashing the exit of the ice facility with those green scooters. Blocks their vehicles. Every little bit helps.
Yeah. The ballot box method is over guys. Any vote that's even close is gonna be "guarded" by ICE agents. They're about to hire every racist Trump supporter in every state with their budget. This is it. We are past the Rubicon and I can't even see it when I look back at the horizon.
Fuck ICE and all. But Jesus Christ the level of resistance needs to be stronger. These brown shirts need to be afraid to get out of their vans. They shouldn't be able to get onto school grounds. Let alone piss in them.
I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can't seem to recognize how insane what she said was.
So much so that a half ass "apology" like she gave is enough for you I guess.
I got the absolutely beautiful "argument list too long" in return.
I had a backup. But holy shit I'm glad the directory had thousands of files in it and nothing happened. First time I got that bash error and was happy.
I usually have rm aliased to "trash" or whatever that cli based recycle bin is. But just installed a new OS and ran this on a NAS folder today by mistake.
MLK, A letter from Birmingham Jail 1963
A much better person to quote and something we actually know he wrote.
