Shaking my head and frowning as I vote for the bill

Something successful political machines do is integrate new ethnic groups, and even groups of reformers. Great sources of votes! The Brooklyn machine is just totally uninterested in this, zero outreach to anyone who hasn't been living in NYC 40+ years.

To the extent they still do anything like that it's outsourced to allied groups like unions or churches etc. Just like, zero interest in the actual blocking and tackling of the thing the machine needs to exist (votes on election day). I don't know why they're like this!

this bill is already incredibly unpopular but once it passes they’re going to have an awful time pointing to any benefits, because there really aren’t any
but the downsides will be large and obvious and very easy to point out

meanwhile, it has huge and brutal cuts to Medicaid, guts multiple industries, and imposes massive costs on most Americans
this bill will make your life worse even if you’re affluent, barring a small handful of super rich folks

this will not in any way reduce the damage but I expect this to be monumentally unpopular, having armed and masked ICE agents become something people encounter on a daily basis is going to make everyone miserable, not just their targets

her partner nagareboshi (who feels like a prototype sixth ranger honestly) had a romance plot going on with her and i think it could've been a classic if it was in the right hands maybe? either way these guys go hard
