@NathanKroenung@harbingerofwoke@pkgandakin sure of course but let’s even take their national platform. with aoc / mamdani being the biggest so called dsa members in office, how can they be so far away from their national platform? how can aoc not even call for netanyahu’s arrest which is just…??? confusing
@bicanis_baddog@harbingerofwoke@pkgandakin It’s tough because i’m not even in the camp of expecting candidates to be oppositional to the state, but can they at least be oppositional to the establishment? the establishments ugly face is apparent to the masses and the conditions are right to be more oppositional
@BryanBanc@MalloryMovies If you aren’t interested in understanding why people commit crimes, then you aren’t interested in resolving our issues. This country has the largest prison population AND the highest prisoners per capita in any democracy. How is that accepted as normal?
@MalloryMovies i see. i do think that the left severely underestimates the resentment around police. we just need to tap into that effectively. though, it makes our job much harder when our so called leaders are actually going as far as to equate police funding to safety. that’s untenable
@MalloryMovies he shouldn't have to be pushed to not hire more cops. he can fight to disband the srg and inform folks about it.
these are incremental, realistic demands. we don't elect people in office so they can cozy up. we have to be more oppositional, while still being pragmatic
@MalloryMovies it may be unrealistic to ask zohran to take maximalist stances on police, but he can stop equating police funding to safety. he is literally a self proclaimed socialist defending the most militarized police department in any democracy. he can disband the gang database
@kylekuzma i'm not necessarily interested in hearing you pass the responsibility onto other billionaires when none of you are willing to do the work to create a group. you're telling me if nba players got together and created an investment program for a city it wouldn't change things?
