There is a hunger for bold, transformative politics in the United States right now. Zohran Mamdani shows how the Left can run on a principled, disciplined message that speaks to voters’ lived concerns — and win.
Yeah…; I absolutely get that (and share the sentiment). I don’t want to speak too quickly (though, from everything I’ve seen, his odds look good‽) but I will definitely relish their reactions when he wins. It’s about time NYC gets a decent mayor.
Sigh…… the part that pisses me off the most is that we lose so often… even though we have supermajorities of support on basically all of the major policy issues among both democrats AND republicans……
Instead the media is always talking about bathrooms and sports and other really weird wedge issues… don’t read this the wrong way, lgbtq rights are super important, they are human rights 100%, but these issues affect only a small percent of the population,
whereas the economic policy issues that would solve so much of the underlying fear and hatred are just completely glossed over, even though every year multiple times a year another economic study indicates that neoliberal policy and general economic theory is just fundamentally wrong……
I just hope the that this recent Gaza fucking genocide is waking folks up to the fact that our media, our politicians, our leaders, all of them are corrupt trash that need to be thrown out and cast aside, mocked even…
