If you study the successful rebellions and resistance and civil rights movements of the past, you will note that “people who spend their time publicly bumming out everyone around them by emphasizing how totally fucked everything is” do not play a central role, or indeed, any role at all

Assassination is never, ever a good idea.

The second amendment gives the right to bear arms. That person advocated the second amendment as the way to get rid of Trump. How else is one to understand that comment except as advocating using a firearm?

So, to be clear, you're proposing that someone assassinate him?

I think your main problem is that not enough people are paying attention to you and you're trying to fix that

Oh, more ideas for you! You could put the focus on the current administration which is doing horrible things everyday, instead of looking for any possible way to criticize Democrats and ignoring everything they are doing.
You're welcome!

No, you should stop whining about how they're not doing anything when in fact they are doing things.
Better yet, you should stop whining. It's annoying.

Trump’s plan is chaos: provoke protests, justify troops, invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law. He doesn’t want order - he wants a fight and he wants it fast.

I regret to say that my city is not very good at picking mayors. We will end up with either Adams or Cuomo, I fear. And this is particularly sad because there are actually a few good candidates running in the Democratic primary.

I didn't think to make a sign, but there were actually people there offering appropriate signs to people who didn't have them. Now that's organization!

The hands-off protests (at least in NYC, where I was) were an excellent example of an effective protest, IMO. Huge, enthusiastic, well-organized, and well behaved. We made a strong statement, and I doubt we alienated anyone. And yes, there was music, excellent signs, etc.

Certainly I have also seen plenty of protests that had assholery. I think his point is generally correct; I am just saying that I have in fact seen large protests that blessedly did not have asshole participants.

As far as I know, the hands-off protests in New York City (which were ginormous) had no such negative events. Even the police said protesters were well-behaved (and they were relieved because they hadn't expected such a huge number and didn't have much manpower covering it).

I'm terrified that 37% don't want due process.

(There are a few reasons I prefer Lander to Mamdani as a candidate; one is that I think he'd be stronger in the general election against Adams & the GOP candidate. He's progressive but much more palatable IMO to those who aren't actively pro-socialist. Cuomo might be too, but I can't vote for him.
comment in response to
post
Going head-to-head in the general, IMO Adams could quite conceivably beat either Mamdani or Cuomo. A lot of people are suspicious of the socialist thing (notwithstanding very strong support for it in other NYC constituencies), & many hate a carpetbagger (which Cuomo is).
comment in response to
post
Everyone seems to assume that whoever wins the Democratic primary will win the New York mayoral race, so the media is entirely focused on that. But generally, there isn't an incumbent independent candidate. and as seedy as Adams is, I think he still has support from some key constituencies.

I saw a disturbing number of Adams flags and pins at the Puerto Rican Day parade yesterday.

I do it with other places sometimes, too.
You know, it does make me appreciate them more. Perhaps especially because some places I knew have become abandoned (you photographed one—the Fallside hotel).
