The Democratic Party is touching cloth about his victory in the primaries because of his views on Israel. Chuck "my job is to keep the left pro-Israel" Schumer and other puppets don't know how to handle it.
Edit: and the party's reaction to it is really fucking weird. He is running for mayor of NYC, a role that isn't involved with foreign policy.
no, there aren't scared.
Do not let this single tweet provide you comfort that has no basis in reality. The rich and powerful are not scared of a tweet, but they are very happy you feel comforted and so placated by it.
If many thousand tweets get many thousand people on the streets to stay until a coherently developed and articulated program of change is enforced upon them, then they might might start to feel some fear.
They're scared that Mumdani beat their candidate in a huge upset.
Literally a day later there was a billionaire offering 100M (and promising to arrange 300M) for a candidate that can beat our boy. They got Cuomo to come back for the main race after he just conceded to split the vote. The media can't seem to stop reminding us he's Muslim, maga lunatics are talking about denaturalizing him, and sometimes they keep trying the socialist or naive angles that just bounce off his charisma. They even sprung his old rap videos on CNN on him during an interview
All this in days after a primary. They're panicking
They're terrified, because progressives are beating money in elections
The rich and powerful dont give a shit about any of our issues. They live on a whole other level. Now if you stop buying things that may get some fear in them.
Sounds like a very good part of a coherent plan to challenge the wealth inequality intrrinsic to fossil-fuel-powered neo-liberal capitalism, and climate change.
Poverty is a failure of the state.
Poverty is a function of the state. Not a failure of it.
Poverty is the implied threat that keeps people falling in line with the authority of the state to protect the economic interests of the owning class which control it.
People need to learn to govern themselves and their own communities to begin the process of taking authority away from this exploitative system and those who control it.
Poverty is a feature of this state. The same state that needs to go.
No, I mean the state, as in the ideology of statist politics is intrinsically exploitative in its hierarchical structure and only exists to serve the interests of capital at the expense of people who it claims authority over.
This state is just one of many. Others will follow suit if nothing is done. Right wing ideology is already on the rise across the globe because of these systemic forces.
Immediately after his primary win, Ogle and Mace were both sending emails to the DOJ and publishing them suggesting "denaturalization and deportation." They want to remove naturalized citizens. It's clear intimidation and disgusting.
They are certainly going to mess with the Zohran. A lot.
This dude sounds like he should be president and not just mayor of NYC.
Which is not going to happen, and not only because he’s not born a US citizen.
Part of me wants to say that if Trump can skirt the law so much and even run a third time so can Mamdani, but another part of me is realistic.
For a group of people that claim they hate socialism as much as they do, the GOP seems awfully fond of receiving very big cheques from the government.
Because they're commies
IT'S AFRAID
Edit: shit someone beat me to it
Bit ironic since Doogie Howser is the fascist in this movie.
The only people politicians "service" are their donors.
I’m Canadian and if you watch the parliament channel you will hear politicians debating everything from paper straws to logging contracts to fishing laws. Everything except housing, food costs and wages. It’s like they go out of their way to avoid the issues we actually are in dire need of
