Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

Funny thing is, my extremely Republican county has free public transportation because a county commissioner did the math and realized making all the buses free, not just the tourist beach trolley, was in fact cost effective because free buses convinces more people not to drive.

The reason public transportation isn't free isn't because it's not economically feasible to do it, it's because people don't want the poors to be able to hop a bus into their neighborhoods, and the people complaining about Zohran Mamdani wanting to make buses free are massively telling on themselves

you can't draw a lot of conclusions from a single race. there are external factors, flawed candidates, the right political climate. but one conclusion you can absolutely draw is that all of the people who tell you that there's only one way things can be are fucking wrong

It's so very funny that Cuomo's campaign torched $35M on shit like running plane ads that read "MAMDAN = OSAMA" only to get fucking creamed

Not to sound like a stereotypical hippy but America's undying crusade against weed legalization is so fucking goofy. It's in direct defiance of what the populace wants, is based on bad information that has been repeatedly disproven, and serves no purpose other than putting people in jail.

Look, Mamdani taking it IS just one election (admittedly a big one) but the absolute curb stomp he is shaking out to have over Cuomo in what is widely considered to be the biggest Dem stronghold in the country should fire up everybody and also--rightfully--terrify the old guard Dems

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

The idea that carrying a meme on your phone could factor into your treatment at the border is a sign of how authoritarian things have gotten, here. And the fact that the image is not a threat, makes it all the more chilling. People used to joke that autocracies fear humor and now it’s true.👇
