Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

The more Republicans and establishment Dems bytch and whine, the more you know Mamdani's right.

compassionate societies define success by the paucity of poor people;
cruel societies define success by the grotesque wealth of the few, pretending the burgeoning poverty is the fault of poor people and not policies;

It's not a policy choice. It's absolutely your fault if you choose not to be born into a super rich family. Or if you choose not to get a hugely lucky break in life. Or if you choose to have bad things happen. Or if you choose to get sick. Or.....

They’re terrified that their constituents will demand outcomes that conflict with the wishes of their donors. Good.

The amount of hand-wringing from the Dems makes me sick. This is what they’re supposed to stand for. Get money out of politics!

Zohran is disturbing their carefully curated sense of perceived order. The status quo appears shaken.

We need to remove the temptation of money from the campaign system by funding the elections from the treasury. Televise more cheaply with CSPAN & local channels & YouTube & Twitch.

Either making a rule that only campaigns can make campaign ads and only a set funded number, or just ban ads so the supreme court can’t rule that the rich can make them. And there needs to be an instant penalty of removal from the election or won seat, for blatant falsehoods.

And there needs to be a listing people can easily access to see all candidates of all parties for all current elections & click on them to display their platform, website & social media addresses.

Remember kids: a capitalist society only works if there is a threat of poverty/homelessness for the population. Gotta keep working to like 300 people can make more money than they could ever spend.

The GOP main goal at the moment is to make Zohran Mamdani look as bad as possible particularly to New Yorkers. We know what the GOP does when they feel threatened. Politics is dirty. It’s a game of win & loose for those whose main goal is to gain power,control & the greed associated with money.

I’d think democrats would embrace Mamdani’s message … which should actually be the GOAL

..and Fox is saying Socialist, Socialist, Socialist. Fight the lies.
Get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
