One last thing: If AOC runs against Schumer, she will win.
Democrats need to make a hard left turn.
Mamdani has proven it is time.
The people of the United States are ready for politicians who will not just say they'lll fight for them, but will actually do so once elected.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Something I think needs to be better understood: corporations & billionaires often spend more trying to defeat progressives than it would cost them in the proposed increased taxes if those people won.
It’s never just about the money. It’s about no longer being the sole beneficiaries of society.
