The status quo is garbage and has been degrading rapidly for most of my life. Here's hoping the rest of this country gets its shit together in time.
Reality proves big tent liberalism wrong at every turn, but still people advocate for it. Can't beat stupid, I guess.
Social Democracy is not the same as Socialism. But, I wasn’t following the race, maybe he does want the public to own the means of production.
I get the hesitation since in US politics they often get conflated and I can’t say I’ve followed him very closely but someone else shared this. I know he’s also advocating for city owned grocery stores.
I'm OK with it because maybe when they realize he's just a guy making decisions to help his community, it will remove a smidge of the ZOMG SOCIALISM reaction to folks like not only him, but also Bernie, and maybe others who might like to call themselves social democrats instead of democrats.
If Bernie and AOC start the social democrat party tomorrow with Mamdani and others, I'm registering before the ink is dry.
It's just a primary guys. Let's hope he wins the seat.
That's what's fun about the whole establishment coming out swinging against him - he just won the primary. He's not even elected yet, and they are losing their shit.
(also, didn't notice until after posting that you'd posted 2 days ago - sorry for the necro post!)
Two days old post is still relevant on Lemmy. It's when someone responds to a 3+ month comment that I'm like, "how did you find me?!"
I think Cuomo is going to stay in the race, it will be interesting to see who wealthy establishment Dems support.
If Cuomo runs 3rd party and the Dem establishment supports him, I'm going to fling that back at anyone who tells me to not vote 3rd party in a presidential election, lol.
I'm going to flip out if the dems support Cuomo and I'm honestly half expecting them to
"Socialism" lol
It is a win though, it shows people are willing to vote for change ~~through alternative parties~~ and thats fucking huge
He's a Democrat, not 3rd party.
Cuomo is the third party candidate
It never makes sense to vote third party, according to what the blue maga have told me.
Shit I will amend that. Forgot he won the democratic primary. He is still heavily associated with DSA though and this is well known.
They will rig the general. Look to the firms in control of the individual machines and the tabulation servers…
Apparently, Faux News calls him "Zohran the Destroyer". This is exactly the sort of name that I want with progressive leadership. 🤩
They gave him a badass name by accident 😂🤣!
If fElon wielding a chain saw is a OK then Zohran the Destroyer needs a weapon, for symbolism.
I nominate the axe from the movie Mandy
He destroys fascism
and oligarchy too.
Don't mess with the Zohran!
