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.

Be prepared, folks. The entire establishment is going to focus all their energy, money, focus and wrath on Mamdani moving forward. They'll figuratively burn NYC down if needed instead of having him as the mayor. They'll be so pissed.
Lets oblige them.

Sen. Cory Booker just broke segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest speech on the floor.
"I'm here despite [Thurmond's] speech," Booker said, a minute before that achievement.'

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

I got really upset that the Democratic Party made Tim Walz hold this side of him back during the campaign.
Walz has always been a fucking populist progressive.
"I'll tell you what people are gonna expect is.
Not tinkering around with the ACA.
They are gonna expect universal healthcare."
