Y'know, this is a really big fuckin' deal right now. Not this specifically, but the DSA-type principles, or progressive, or whatever you want to call it - getting a huge win in NYC and showing the rest of the nation some of the things that can be accomplished.
I know MAGA won't see this and even if they do it won't change their minds, but this is the kind of thing that will change SOME minds.
These are the types of things that can be done if we elect actual progressives. But we need a supermajority with both houses of congress, as well as the president, and at this point, with stacking SCOTUS.
If we could somehow manage that, we could fix this country.
I sure hope that progressivism succeeds. If it doesn't, America will either descend into being Nazi America or suffer a 2nd American Civil War.
I would prefer a better society emerging without bloodshed. War is a painful thing, full of hardship for just about everyone. I want to spend my time reading manga, and voting for Mamdani's 2nd term as President.
Very much agree. We're on the verge of fascism, and I don't know if we can save this or not, but I sure hope so.
I don't think I'll be alive to see it, though.
