This is somehow the fault of the democrats i refused to vote for
-people on lemmy
If leftists are that make-or-break then maybe the DNC shouldn’t treat us as though we are irrelevant. And if we are irrelevant, then people can stop blaming us for losing elections.
the us military has government run grocery stores btw and the world hasnt ended
What’s the grocery store idea? Open them in food deserts?
Yes, starting with a pilot program that puts one store in each borough and growing from there.
The Democratic Party establishment would prefre 8 more years of Trump, over losing control of the party to people like Zohran Mamdani.
Kindly? No.
They can go fuck themselves with a spiked mace and pour hot sauce over the wounds it creates.
The people freaking out over this, but not over the literal forming of a dictatorship are absolute scum.
Old White Guy: “We’re doing more capitalism. You will live in the pod and eat the bugs and own nothing and like it. Nothing will fundamentally change.”
Young Arab Guy: “We’re going to try to make cost of living go down at the expense of private profits and turn NYC into a place where you don’t need to be a millionaire to live well.”
I mean, this isn’t an issue of being “Twice as Good”. It’s an issue of being diametrically opposed to the ruling class.
Mamdani isn’t Arab; he’s Indian. A quarter of the world would be offended by the implication these two groups are the same.
Wouldn’t be offended necessarily. He’s Muslim and South Asian (parents are Gujurati and Punjabi) so it’s easy to think that. We need to offer grace to people outside of our ingroup. They’re going to know less and that’s ok. Just like I don’t know if O’Keefe is Irish, Scottish or Potato.
He’s not an Arab.
Conflating being a Muslim with being Arabian is a good habit to break.
Absolutely agree. Especially since the majority of the world’s Muslims (60%) live in the Asia-Pacific region.
