04.11.2025 19:53 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Palestinians should know that are several million Jews (I'm guessing) like me in the U.S. I grew up in a liberal Democratic household and used to be proud of Israel long ago, but no more for the reasons I gave. Don't know if Mamdani can deliver on his promises but I hope he gets the chance to try.
04.11.2025 19:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0All MAGAts see, hear and read is how the economy is strong, interests have lowered, and this is all the fault of Dems. The Orange Foolius they worship is withholding food from them while paying ICE yet they still claim he's the best prez ever. Repugs depend on a stupid electorate to stay in power.
04.11.2025 19:45 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That quote makes me smile, especially issuing from the yap and fingers of the stupidest manchild to squat in the WH. I'm a Jew who supports Mamdani & Palestinians and opposes Zionist Jews. I can push back and say anyone who votes for Donnie and Repugs is stupid, a far truer statement.

I don't foresee it ever happening because, as I said, the game is rigged. But I can still speak out against it.
04.11.2025 19:37 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Besides not having a free economy we haven't had a true democracy since the founding of this nation. SCOTUS, the Repugs have made sure elections are rigged thru gerrymandering and Dem voter elimination laws. Neoliberal Dems voted for many of those justices and dept. secretaries. Only real liberals 3
04.11.2025 19:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0You've got Democrats speaking out Mamdani, proclaiming themselves to be capitalists and ashen-faced and curled up in a fetal position over the prospect of a "socialist" running NYC. Labels DO matter. I'm a liberal--NOT a Democrat. If I call someone a MAGAt I know exactly what they are. 2
04.11.2025 19:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The problem is that the political game is fixed. We've never had a free market economy and we haven't had open, transparent elections since at least 1968. The Dems were the racist party up to JFK until Nixon pre-empted that base. It was like the reverse of what happened during the Civil War. 1
04.11.2025 19:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

04.11.2025 17:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is why I'm a liberal and not a Democrat. I'm also not sure that Mamdani can do what he's promised but I don't hear any plan from old school Dems who are scared shitless of actual libs taking over the party.

But eh, she still loves the orange maroon and supports him in everything else. Oh yeah--except killing her family by stopping Obamacare tax credits and cutting Medicaid. Other than that she'd still have his children no matter how many times it took.

04.11.2025 16:27 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I've read that the term for what Donnie and Project 2025 are 'progressively' doing under the auspices of the six Repug operatives on SCOTUS is called a self coup. And they've got the full faith and credit of the corporate owned news media behind them.

If the D's take back Congress and stick with Jeffries and Schumer, I'm done contacting any of my reps--who rarely respond anyway
