The last term year would be the year you turn 70. So back track from there to run
67 for congress
63 for senate
65 for president
59 for SCOTUS -10 year term limit

Create an advisory cabinet for aged out representatives to provide guidance/history to younger members. Paid $1/year w/o tangible power

100% the future of the party, but more so the future of our country. I’m sick to death of ghoulish republicans pushing their unpopular, despicable laws on us when there are only about 20-25% of the population wants their policies. End the electoral college and stop gerrymandering mandating!!!

Only 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of Democrats, with a meager 8 percent holding a “very favorable” opinion, for a net negative favorability of 30 percentage points.

13/35
cecivrai.bsky.social
That is due to 2 distinct & diametrically opposed views. 1 part of that 70% is Republicans & anti-Democrat voters; the other part is ppl who want a demonstrably left wing—not 1/2 measures—economically responsive party that’s willing to go further than a Schumer, Warner, or Fetterman () Democrat.

I've always been what I considered a moderate left; I always appreciated the progressives because they always had the best new ideas. For me the downside was some of them were extremely radical, so I thought they hurt their own cause. AOC has changed my mind. She has matured & become our next step.

19/35
saving-democracy.bsky.social
The thing about those "radical" ideas is that so many of them had their birth in the New Deal, or in reconstruction Europe after WW2. Things like universal healthcare, childcare, paid family leave, even clean energy, aren't new or radical ideas. We've just been told we don't deserve them.

Friendly reminder that four establishment democrats are endorsing Cuomo...who also heavily criticized him during the sexual harassment thing.

Another politician who demanded Cuomo resign as governor now endorses him for NYC mayor - WTOP News

edit: And for those going "not big names," do tell the class what big names in the establishment HAVE endorsed him. I'll wait.

edit edit: and also for those who are going "establishment" is being thrown around loosely...If it aligns with the establishment ideals regardless of tenure in office, then call it a duck. If you are handed a badge with a gun today with the intent of continuing the current practices of the police, you're a police officer. You're not "a new police officer." There's no qualifier if you're there perpetuating the system.

@KimIversenShow
Idaho - one of the reddest states in the union- has state owned and operated liquor stores and yet no one screams socialism. Why not grocery stores?

[Quoted tweet]
I was initially skeptical about @ZohranKMamdani’s muni-owned grocery stores having much of an impact. But there is an economic logic to the proposal, in that profit-chasing private grocers impose a considerable markup over the wholesale price of food, whereas the muni-owned stores won’t. That smaller (or even zero) markup could bring relief to low-income families. And it could also impose a modicum of price discipline on the privately owned grocery stores.


2/31
@KimIversenShow
@grok Some states used to have state run liquor stores and now they don’t. What happened to the price of liquor when they switched to privatizing liquor sales?



3/31
@bed__wards
I live in idaho and people don’t like state liquor stores and laws.
The point of state liquor stores is to control supply and make it more expensive.
Liquor is an elastic good - food is inelastic



4/31
@KimIversenShow
Yet Idaho has lower liquor prices



5/31
@zdogg8
Kim, liquor is controlled by states to have it be not outlawed entirely, per prohibition-like laws. Some citizens view alcohol as needing a more robust supervision, state stores are scarce as to not be as readily available, as having liquor in Everydamnedgrocerystore, Capisce?



6/31
@KimIversenShow
It’s capisci with an i. Capisci?

So now Mamdani and Co. is great for the country ?



8/31
@Benjami17305001
Idaho follows Utah on almost everything. Utah has state only liquor stores, too, with small mark-ups. Of course, they are closed after 10pm and Sundays



9/31
@JackofKitemanTV
Government always strives to be the soul profiteer from the drug trade. It's a money maker.



10/31
@Patrickkerby58
Oh so the common denominator for abysmal failure isn’t necessarily government (would they be better run privately even in Idaho?) but DEMOCRATS.



11/31
@realnikohouse




12/31
@free_twitr
As long as it’s revenue neutral or negative (little/no gov funding), then I don’t think it’s bad for the government to compete in the marketplace.



13/31
@MelKShow
You believe the government is more capable than the private sector? Or local small businesses? More government is a solution?



14/31
@MikeCherneski
Because our food system likely can't afford it and there are much better ownership models which benefit the community rather than the government.



15/31
@bourbonislife80
I can't even believe this is a thing

State-owned liquor stores is socialism.
What part of “state-owned” do you not understand? And as for prices, take a class in economics and learn when monopolies mean.



17/31
@barry_angeles
It defies logic Kim. It must be profitable for Idaho to do that. It would always blow my mind when I would visit my parents in Sun Valley and then go to a state own store to purchase liquor. Many of us would drive down to Jackpot, Nevada, and stock up there.



18/31
@DrutangReborn
wow they're the exact same thing you're right



19/31
@griffin31331
I believe North Carolina does as well

This is typical for socialist. Pick a very small abd specialized example and use it to justify doing it on a large scale despite all the evidence that it doesnt work on that scale.

Would they be allowed to sell soda and snacks? I mean do people really want tax dollars going to selling THAT?



22/31
@Scocar45
Because we all know how bad state run liquor stores suck compared to Bevmo



23/31
@ZipyZapyZoop
It simply makes no sense to not have a publicly owned grocery store in all the many food desserts across this country. If the private sector won't fulfill a necessity, the government should step in.



24/31
@wantthepfunk
Because capitalism is the best way to have cheap and a variety of food and this has been proven consistently over time



25/31
@uavictory22
"Idaho - one of the reddest states in the union- has state owned and operated liquor stores"

doesn't mean its a good idea



26/31
@FreeStateRiot
State-run liquor stores are usually hold-overs in Bible belt states or anywhere that had a strong Mormon migration (Idaho). They are regulating for potential societal and social harm, not everyday groceries & sustenance.

Shocked by your question.



27/31
@HonestlyMobile
How’s Idaho overall?
Considering moving



28/31
@wdwighttheseco1
Margin is a good measure of how efficiently a service is being provided to consumers.

Grocery stores have some of the lowest margins of any industry.

Distributing food is something capitalism does really well and socialism has historically done very poorly.



29/31
@ShaneShoemaker6
They don’t scream socialism because the Mormons like liquor less accessible



30/31
@Lord_Sotheary
Why do you love socialism so much? Have you lived under it? Do you know people who have? Have you benefited from it?



31/31
@chicatomorrow
Apples to oranges. Liquor is shelf stable and a controlled substance. Grocery goods are not as shelf stable - the expiration dates vary widely. The prices and availability of certain foods require expertise and a nimble buyer. Government is neither.

This is the same shyt they pull with vegans. As soon as conservatives see people who have culinary preferences or restrictions they act like children with food.

MAGA followers are children. Not one of them has bothered to think or mature since 7th grade. That's why they believe Trump speaks for them. His vocabulary and social skills are on the same level.

I think Trump today is well below 7th grade level (and falling).

Mamdani: We’re seeing this at a time when Donald Trump has taken SNAP from hungry New Yorkers, has passed legislation that would throw millions of New Yorkers off their health insurance — and we have Democrats, Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, working with this administration to try and subvert the will of Democratic primary voters right here in New York City.

Mamdani’s socialist agenda would accelerate NYC’s collapse, not fix it. Trump’s reforms target Medicaid fraud and SNAP abuse—$150B+ wasted annually on bureaucratic bloat and non-citizen exploitation. Cuomo and Adams enabled this disaster by prioritizing open borders over taxpayers.

The FARM Act, Section 3, proves real solutions defend American resources instead of funneling them into unsustainable handouts. NYC’s affordability crisis stems from decades of Democrats inviting illegal immigration while letting hospitals and housing rot.

Mamdani’s “free everything” fantasy ignores the math: you can’t fund utopia when the system’s already bankrupted by bad policy.

@statesradar
Policies that cut support for vulnerable New Yorkers demand urgent accountability from leaders.

@CityDeskNYC
Mamdani’s crocodile tears over SNAP and health insurance are rich coming from a guy whose rent freeze fantasies would collapse NYC’s housing market and whose city-run grocery pipe dream would bankrupt bodegas overnight. Adams and Cuomo aren’t “collaborating” with Trump—they’re blocking you from turning this city into a DSA petri dish. Remember: Adams kept NYPD funded when you wanted to defund them. Cuomo prosecuted the corrupt networks you now rely on.

Your primary “mandate” was 13 points in a low-turnout race fueled by activist cash—not a citywide embrace of your socialist suicide pact. Keep crying about subversion.

New Yorkers see through the act: you’re not fighting Trump. You’re exploiting his boogeyman status to push policies that’d make this city unlivable.

Clever trick. The winner of the Democratic primary does not automatically win the election. NYC is not a 1 party system. All the voters get to choose and their will is that momdani go back to Uganda and ignominy

Mamdani: It shows just how threatened he is by what our administration would be, which is a fulfillment of the thing that he ran on but has since betrayed, which is a promise of a more affordable life for Americans.

Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors

Theres like 3 with national profile at best right now, Pritzker, Mamdani, and Newsome and the latter is doing it for completely cynical reasons (laudatory)

4/35
altrocks.bsky.social
Those last 2 aren't even in the same league as Mamdani. Pritzker's limp response to the Texas NG being shipped into Chicago while ICE plans to raid the city during Mexican Independence celebrations and parades shows he's unwilling to go this far. And Newsom is just a blue fascist.

5/35
florian23.bsky.social
The Texas National Guard is very much not in Chicago just FYI. The response worked. We'll see what happens with ICE but Chicago has kept these fukks away so far.

And quite frankly I know Newsom is an amoral a$$hole, unfortunately that is what seems to work right now.

6/35
florian23.bsky.social
I really like Mamdani, but he's still just a candidate, once he's mayor he'll have to contend with ICE in NYC as well, and he probably won't be able to just make them leave.

This is also why the "purity test" shyt makes me so mad. Mamdani isn't perfect from a leftist standpoint. He's got things to work on. But a lot of us are willing to say "Hey, he's moving in the right direction, let's support him." Even if he doesn't fit every ideal we have.
