Mamdani rebuts Cuomo: You just heard him acknowledge that rent prices are too high and his solution is to evict me and my wife. If you think my rent is too low vote for him. If you think your rent is too high vote for me

But you blatantly misread what was being said. It sure seems like you are demonstrating the problem the left has: reacting with hostility when someone who knows more than you is honest about the amount of work some solutions would take.

Someone with more experience than you could ever dream of being honest about the hurdles to achieving a goal is not absolutism and I think you know that.

I think the online comments he’s being smeared for make it pretty clear that he’s no Fetterman 2.0.

Then you misread what she was saying. Try again.

And sometimes there isn’t sunshine. Actual meaningful resistance is hard and performing congratulations for actions that allow ICE et al to continue terrorizing Americans, regardless of citizenship, is a fool’s errand. And i consider mandating body cams is such an action.

She already attempted restraint LAST WEEK and ICE and assorted groups FLAGRANTLY VIOLATED HER COURT ORDER. If you don’t know the context here, please don’t scold those of us that do.

I want the judge to hold the people violating court orders in contempt of court. I should think that would be the bare minimum.

If you or I violated a court order as flagrantly as ICE has in Chicago this past week, do you think we’d get this much benefit of the doubt?

Lazylizzie @lazylizy.bsky.social · 13h

Those are not the only two options and I think you know that. I think when the “accountability” in question is a thing that has never actually been used to hold violent cops accountable, you can question the validity of that as meaningful accountability.

When the gov’t is flagrantly violating a court order, kicking the can down the road a week or so and requiring an accountability mechanism (body cams) that has never actually been used for accountability in a meaningful way, I think “serious concerns” deeply undersells it

I mean, body cams have never stopped any agent of authority from breaking the law, so I don’t know why you think this would be the time they worked

The insistence that all or most professional women experience imposter syndrome is frankly insulting. It’s definitely become normative (“because you are a woman who works, we can assume you are plagued with insecurity”) and I’m tired of it.

The crazy thing is that he only started looking like this in the last 3 years, very suddenly. You can find pictures of him from early 2023 where he looks like a normal old man. Just a few months later, he is the inflamed thumb we’ve all come to recognize.

If only people took these monsters at their word

My sense of time is all out of whack now, but didn’t the president also recently make a statement that it is absurd that domestic battery is considered a crime?

I think it’s totally reasonable for someone with expertise to correct a false statement by someone with a platform. Your last sentence also applies quite well to your behavior here
