In really big cities they do have some sway, but at least in Seattle there was also a lot of turn over in the city council that looks more friendly to the left, and any success in a big city can be used as a policy example.
NYC on the other hand is a different animal entirely, I’d hesitantly say Mamdani is the most powerful city mayor on the planet, and if he’s not he’s top 3 because of how central the city is not just nationally but globally.
I don’t know of any other mayoral races besides this and NYC, but that alone is huge. Two of the largest shipping hubs on both sides of the country being run by people who want to make life better for as many people as possible, could be both the marker and catalyzing agent for the exact sort of tide shift you’re describing
Bannon is a piece of shit ghoul but of MAGAs most influential assholes he’s ones of the few that has enough guile to understand what will happen if they somehow lose the gambit they’ve embarked upon. Things are only going to escalate from here after the big loses they suffered Tuesday and as the economy continues to ride a unicycle on a 2x4 across the Grand Canyon
I wouldn’t even care about the health hazards at this point, given the future we’re all looking at, if smoking didn’t make you stink I’d start back today
I prefer “born on third thinking they hit a triple”
Straight up didn’t know this, but I don’t and have never drank coffee and am the only man in my family without cholesterol issues.
This would explain my reactions, my body was probably like 25% cancer before I got my first one.
Maybe we’ll do better this time? Who am I kidding, somebody warm up the freedom fries
The upsetting side of this is that it means MTG actually believes in things beyond her own self enrichment, which is a good quality, and means I have to begrudgingly give her a modicum of respect for it because it makes her vastly more human than most of the rest of the ghouls in the GOP/MAGA
The only thing I don’t like about it is that Paul Rueben’s doesn’t deserve the association
Do yourself a favor and don’t think too much about that unless you want to completely quash any remaining hope you had in humanity
