Mamdani represents some truly frightening ideas to the ruling class. Public transportation, free? Housing the homeless? Feeding the poor? Paying for it by taxing the rulers more? OMG! Noooooo! How radical.
We have Democratic representatives openly saying they dont want Memdani in the party at all. Those ideas have no place in the party and he should form his own.
Fuck that. Those ideas are exactly what the Democratic Party should be embracing and more.
Most everyone here was full square behind OWS, heres a candidate that embraces a lot of those ideals and somehow HES the problem.
We need to be stressing the class war because thats what its all about. We get so distracted with all the culture war nonsense that we lose sight of what actually matters and we give the fascists easy potshots.
But the ruling class lives off those distractions, that infighting among the workers, whatever party they belong to.
We need to not only embrace Memdani and his platform but spread it far and wide. Workers first!
That should be the platform and the answer to every idiotic culture war gotcha question.
But thats not going to happen unless WE force it.
Wed better figure this out quick before were all crushed under the jackboots.
