Liberalism isn't sufficient in our political climate; It must be Democratic Socialism. Contrary to what the corporate wing of the Democratic Party would have you believe, socialists can win. This is possible.

Mamdani has built a multi-cultural, -racial & -religious coalition w a simple & hopeful economic message of housing affordability, free childcare, experimental public grocery stores in food deserts & increasing the min wage. It wasn't just a hopeful message, it was one based on calculated economics.

Democrats also can't just match Mamdani's campaign aesthetic and vibes; Mamdani's policies are the vibes, they are what won.

I am excited to support Baraka's campaign for NJ Governor from the capital county!
His repeated attacks on Trump and Trumpโs policies โ especially moves on immigration โ appear to be buoying Barakaโs candidacy. And Baraka thinks thatโs proof other members of his party are approaching the Trump era all wrong. @rasjbaraka.bsky.social

As comically evil as Republicans are, they very much hate and detest the regular human being. And their distaste is extremely real and harmful. They run away from people because they do not want to be held accountable for intentionally making all of our lives worse.

Apparently the reason the left "always loses" is because some of us are annoying and put people off. The far-right, of course, are a bunch of cool chill guys that are fun and normal 24/7.

Only cowardly moderates stand for nothing. She can't be gov.
Even the article says he agrees with congestion pricing. He's against NY's unilateral implementation of the plan and wants regional cooperation of the pricing. That's not incorrect. As a planner, regional planning and intergovernmental and interagency cooperation isn't new and is encouraged

He even pointed out its benefits at the debate -reduces CO2 emissions & pollutants that cause respiratory issues, which is largely a public health issue that we need to tackle, esp in communities w large POC populations

Now that Trump is saying it, can the Democratic Party forcefully oppose the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians?
Trump is working overtime to fund US intervention in Israel so his son-in-law can profit off developing Gaza.
Trump will cut funding for families but not genocide.
This is all happening because no one in Democratic Party leadership had the integrity to state the obvious: that Biden should not have run for reelection
