At this point, I'd vote for Communists. "The only solution to a private-sector oligarchy is a public-sector oligarchy."

anime was right posted:this is what a movement looks like. its slow. but its happening. Yeah, a lot of these progressives are going to lose their primaries/generals and while that sucks, that's going to get trumpeted as a sign of them being rejected. When in reality it is probably going to take a couple election cycles for progressives to reach statehouses and congress in appreciable numbers just because of how heavily things are weighted towards incumbents.

The good ideas (and existence of ideas at all) certainly are a plus, but she's good at talking to people like they're people instead of data points, and that's the actual edge she has.

tulsi's problem is her support for modi / BJP. it reveals an anti-muslim streak this becomes even more  considering her constant haranguing of obummer for not saying 'radical islamic terror' like loving sean hannity or somethingi also remember reading that she was pretty awful towards the homeless as a city councilor in Honolulu would still vote for her in 2020 lmao

But we're all teachers at a poor rear end multiethnic autism school so I don't know if that is just the radicalization that goes along with living that life speaking most loudly there. Anyway, GWOT troops are loving tragically broke brained in that way and I take pity on them for the lovely wringer W and obummer put them through.

defending assad and modi disqualifies you from the good thinker club no matter how incredible your other positions are such an ally might be acceptable in the short term but they should be on the list of folks to primary eventually

Locally there are only three candidates for vice mayor, and one describes herself as a "socially moderate," because she presided over a gay marriage, "fiscally conservative probably Republican", I got a campaign ad from the second saying "We can count on ________ to meet our budget challenges without raising taxes", and the third talked about inclusionary zoning and raising taxes, but he was recently in court for violating a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend, wrote “I’m not like Megan Barry, I don’t let my loved ones die from Addiction.” when the mayor's son died, has a warrant out for his arrest in Austin, TX from unpaid DUI fines, and people say he sounds drunk on the phone. The second candidate talks about "fully funding public schools", when the mayor wants to cut their budgets, and "fight[ing] for more affordable housing" and "expanding access to more affordable housing", but he doesn't say how he's going to do all that without raising taxes in his answers to newspapers. I guess I'll vote for him.
