Reminds me of history, when nazi germany and imperial japan would perform “reprisals”, basically, they would arbitrally round up random non-combatants, most of them who aren’t even resistance, and shoot them to death in “execution” style in public, as a way to “punish” resistance activities.

I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for.

Its called legislature.

You’d need like progressives to win enough seats to get a majority in city council.

If Bernie became President, he probably wouldn’t have gotten much of the progressive agenda done, just look at the composition of congress. You’d need 50 progressive senators and 218 progressive representatives, it’s a long shot. For NYC tho, that’s probably a bit easier, but still, its 26 progressive city council members needed. Basically 26 simultaneous campaigns + the Mayor’s Seat to actually transform the city.

Democrats won’t get control of the Senate until 2029 January 3rd since the only seat the democrats can win in 2026 election is Maine and its currently 53-47, everything else is locked in place by the staggered election system of the Senate.

Winning the House can’t stop the Judicial appointments that only the Senate has the power to reject

“High Income” is not “1%”

A lot of the “rich” people (who are more like “Middle Class” btw) aren’t even your enemies either, its the 1%.

Lol, btw my dad who is still a PRC Citizen had to download an app and install it via .apk, because the Google Play Store doesn’t have it, in order to apply for the Passport Renew in the app. Because (1) there is no Embassy in my city, and he’d have to travel 2-3 hours to get to the closest Embassey/Consulate and (2) since Covid, they made appointment process much difficult, and encourage online application instead.

They have do like a face scan using the app. Very futuristic to not have to do it in person, but simultaneously very uncanny and creepy to have essentially the Embassy stepping inside your house with the camera and microphone permissions.

I think he kept the app installed to check on the application progress, so the CCP could’ve technically heard the political debates about Taiwan and stuff in the house. So yea I’m probably on the watchlists of both PRC and USA for being a dissident, the two most powerful nations in the world doesn’t very like dissidents like me who hates authoritarians. Wonderful. If they every go after everyone, I literally have nowhere in the world that can escape from the tentacles of these both these authoritarians. But lucky I’m not that important, so so far, no agent of the government have come after me, yet.

I think it’s because its funny to see the far-right seethe

wtf is wrong with you?

Also, Most white people voted for Mamdani btw, so your hatred make zero sense anyways

Class Solidarity please. People of other races are not your enemy, the 1% is.

I think you’re a little confused.

NYC = New York City

This is a Mayoral Primary Election. Every voter here is a resident of New York City

Mayor = Leader of the Executive Branch of a city.

For NY State, the Leader of the Executive Branch would be called the Governor

He technically wouldn’t be stateless since he’s (according to the Wikipedia page) a dual citizen of US and Uganda.

Edit: To clarify, it would still be a violation of the US constitution to use trumped-up accusations to denaturalize someone, but its technically not against international laws.

Arnold Schwarzenegger?

I think we’re like at the stage right after hitler becomes chanceller and right before the Enabling Act.

Lol look at this defeatist attitude.

AOC won the general election in 2018 by a way bigger margin than the primary.

As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

Higher Income people actually prefer the Socialist lmfao

Its somehow the poor people that get gaslighted into voting for conservatism

Ironic

Is like a movie that is injected into your brain, but randomly generated by AI (aka: it make zero sense and random as fuck).

Then just as things get interesting, someone wake you up and flash the Men In Black memory eraser thing and you’re like: “What the fuck was that? I think I had a dream, but I forgor”

FTL is already underrated. And most people who do play just stops playing because it can get boring quickly. But Multiverse essentially bring more life to the game. Make the game like 50 times more fun.

Ryan Trahan is that you?

Conspiracy Theory time: Most Democratic politicians are actually just robots piloted by far-right government agents

Fun Fact: Did you know that like 30% of ICE agents are Hispanic/Latino Americans? 🙃

Family reunions must be awkward when your buddies deported your aunt/uncle/grandparent
