I like cats, books, hiking, video games, talking about weird/abstract science stuff, and trying to convince people that maybe not putting a profit motive above peoples' lives is a good platform to run on.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

the right isn’t really that afraid of zohran mamdani, the thing they’re most afraid of is that his agenda and being unashamed of being an open democratic socialist will work too well

Why are socialists all over the world so focused on an election in New York?
For the same reason the US spent the 20th century toppling democratically elected socialist leaders.
Because ours is an internationalist movement - a victory for one is a victory for all ✊

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Alright Libs, listen the fuck up. Zohran just gave you the path to victory. "But NYC isn't the same as the whole country" SHUT THE FUCK UP! Zohran paved the way. All you have to do is walk it. Stop moving to the right, and campaign on working for the working class.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Okay yes this is virtue signalling. One of the few times is true.
But I'm signalling an actual virtue so that's gotta count for something right?

One of the things that I struggle with as an autistic person is needing to know why something is the way it is.
This is then followed by struggling to just accept it or move on from that when I don't have a proper answer to that.
I just don't get why it's such a bother to provide an explanation.

This is your daily reminder that:
1. Republicans shut down the government;
2. to make sure that 15 million Americans lose health care and 20 million Americans’ health care premiums double;
3. all so that billionaires get tax cuts.
It’s that simple.

I'm vehemently against Respectability Politics because the people who hate us will continue to do so regardless of our Respectability. If the person is a fence sitter who can be convinced to ignore your personhood because of how you dress or whatever, I don't have time for them either.

New Yorkers: we have to run it through the tape for Mamdani.
Assume nothing until it’s all over.
Vote, and get everyone you know to vote.
We all know how things have gone in the last decade when folks got comfortable thinking we had it in the bag.

There are plenty of folks online who 1) consider themselves progressive, and 2) say we have to sacrifice trans rights in order to win elections.
They're full of shit. They say this not as strategy, but because they're transphobic assholes.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that most of the criticisms being lobbed at Mamdani are not out of genuine anger or surprise at any new revelations about him but are rather a transparently bad faith smear campaign to punish him for being a successful politician while Muslim
