@cityoftoronto@JoshMatlow seriously? This is what we choose to care about during COVID? Am I supposed to invite my friends over to drink indoors instead?
AOC is a member of a deeply neoliberal body that is antithetical to all the values she campaigned on. The fact that they aren't taking up her ideas is an indictment of them, not her!
Said it before and I'll say it again: I'm much more concerned about the congressmen who get things passed through this congress than the one's that don't.
@FluorescentGrey I don't waste my time proclaiming that Israel is an apartheid state because everybody in my ideological circle "the left" already knows that and readily agrees to it. The reason the Uighur debates happen is because people don't want to hold China to that same standard.
Green Leader @AnnamiePaul commits to abolish post-secondary tuition and forgive all federally-held student debt.

@_Kristiana_@OrganizerMemes Fine with that too. Where I get sketched out is things like terrorist watch lists. Constitutional rights shouldn't be limited because of an arbitrary government list.
@thomasmcavaness@jenelaina@OrganizerMemes Except that POC and people who don't have access to full legal defense are way more likley to be convicted (correctly or not) of those crimes. I agree with you that serial killers and mass rapists should die. But the state shouldn't ever be the one to do it.
@yourmandaniel We can also go into debt in a progressive way. And we shouldn't limit our definition of progressive to a neoliberal definition of balanced budgets.
