We finally have a chance to drive a steak through the heart of the political movement that dominated San Francisco politics for over 50 years.
In the ashes of the old "Progressive" movement we can build a new one.
But for that to happen we need the Scott to win.
@behindthenet@Gregster56 Okay let's take your claims at face value and discuss them soberly.
"Yimby is a right-wing astroturf movement funded by the worst people in the world."
The SF Yimby movement has 1500 dues paying members. This is not "astroturf".
@Gregster56@behindthenet@MidwestDeplore Deregulation - which is taking power away from the government and giving it back to the people - is not "right wing."
I can see why you socialists don't like it though.
@Gregster56@behindthenet@MidwestDeplore Typical NIMBY response. Rather than engage on the issues, you engage in bad faith ad hominem attacks.
Tell me where I "misrepresent" anyone's position here.
You won't reply.
@TneinSpines@evilkaratesk8er She saw America as a place rich in ideals and potential, filled with "dreamers and philosophers" who contributed to its beauty and wealth.
@TneinSpines@evilkaratesk8er Like Emma Goldman.
Emma Goldman expressed a deep pride in her connection to America, referring to it as "the land of the Walt Whitmans, the Lloyd Garrisons, the Thoreaus."
@Gregster56@behindthenet@MidwestDeplore We need a new and better Progressive movement, one that is not beholden to the preservationists like Peskin and Pelosi.
We need to fight against police surveillance and overreach, protect tenants and build housing.
We need our own Mamdani. Not another Connie Chan.
@CATofKentucky@mrddmia You will lose here a few weeks and you will lose again in 2028. And once again the grownups will have to clean up the messes you made:
1) Running up the budget deficit
2) Starting unwinnable wars
3) Building a culture of hate
@Gregster56@behindthenet@MidwestDeplore Ever been tear gassed by the IDF? Have you even been to Palestine or Gaza? What about during the Intifada?
Are you part of an election defense community right now? What are you going to do if Trump tries to steal the election?
@Gregster56@behindthenet@MidwestDeplore I'm an anarchist bro. How many times have you been arrested? How many times have you been fired for organizing a union? Have you even been in a union?
Do you cook food and feed it with Food Not Bombs? Do you serve on the Board of the BSC?
