He’s too young still. Gotta be 35 or so.

How long do you think they’ll listen to you explaining all the systemic wrongs to them until their eyes glace over as there’s no simple solution?

True. My grandma would be the same were she in the war room with the generals.

You don’t need crimes or due process if you send them to an illegal prison. That’s the whole point of an illegal prison.

With shit like this “protecting democracy” or “preserve our institutions” sounds so fucking hollow. “Protect our way of life” becomes a fascist dog whistle than just an actual desire for security.

Good thing then Americans voted for an incorruptible billionaire for president.

Sorry for the snark. It’s of course accurate that it’s easier to bribe people when they make little money through honest means.

Are you kidding? He himself said it’s akin to terrorism.

or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution

Mamdani has not been a citizen when the constitution was adopted.

He held it in front of recently naturalized immigrants. One line I’ll paraphrase I found interesting when he referred to them: they didn’t see themselves not just as New Yorkers, but American too, just like he did some 10 years ago.

This tells immigrants in New York that they may not be American (yet), but they are New Yorkers. Very beautiful notion.

You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?

Sure, with Big Tech losing sight of customer needs and going a lot more fascist in recent years I hate working for an American tech company and it’s weird to be a tech enthusiast. Money is great though and I can sleep well at night knowing my product barely has any customers to ruin their lives of.

Still: I’d love to have a positive impact on the world with my skills, but the job market is shit and my immediate environment doesn’t care as much despite noticing the hostility towards users.

Perfect microcosm of this administration.

She must be a very unhappy woman.

The reporter’s questions weren’t even so antagonistic. [REDACTED] basically got himself into some irrational rage and quit at some point getting himself too emotional. I don’t wanna see him talking to an actual enemy…

Saying “both are the same” isn’t correct in most cases, but when it comes to class war, both parties are generally captured by capital to a similar degree.

‘Breath’ is also not the right word. It’s definitely the latest scream, hopefully the last. But the last breath?

The guys who refused to endorse him.

My device “fails verification” wtf

Sounds like trans people are an indicator species.

Nice! Good laugh this morning. Where would we be without this clown?

As a European this is how I read it too. Politics in the US are so driven by “team sport” and grand personalities the actual policy sometimes gets forgotten. “He says what I think” and “I’ve always voted for party X.” are very common arguments and you may occasionally hear about some wedge issue, but really understanding how these people would govern?

AOC has policy goals and fight for them regardless of her title. If she thinks she can there as President she will run, if not she will do something else.
