I advocate for violence all the time. That's because I hate them.
I think it's silly to prolong this. They are doing damage by the day.
Yeah, you guys should just speedrun to "martial law and no midterm elections", that would make everything better.
Oh no, we might not get the chance to vote in Democrats so they can...
checks notes
write a strongly worded letter then send another $2 billion to Israel!
Well, clearly the only viable alternative is a civil war with thousands of dead. Because clearly nothing has changed in the Democratic camp, since - as we know - Marry Sheffield, Michelle Wu, and Zohran Mamdani are all, famously, in the capitalist pockets of Big Business, right?
Those are all mayors. With the exception of Zohran, by virtue of how massive NYC is, none have the ability to meaningfully influence federal politics. Your counterpoint just proves it's the Democrats functioning as the graveyard of leftist movements as they were designed to be. They have to allow meaningless wins to frustrate momentum.
Fuck me, you can't be serious...
After decades of capitalists being elected, finally some of the most socialist people in the history of US win, and you're like "nah, nothing of importance has changed".
Come on, bruv!
Also, calling the mayor of NY a "meaningless win" is certainly a vibe...
Zohran has already condemned the righteous Palestinian resistance and caved to pressure from the national security state in having the NYPD Commissioner report to him directly instead of a subordinate.
My hope for Zohran is that he moderately decreases the cost of living for the people of New York. I don't expect a socialist revolution, though I'm ready and hopeful to be proven wrong.
Am I wrong that they have no meaningful influence over federal politics?
You're confused, I think? He condemned and revoked some pro-Israeli decrees.
Are you a bot? This sentence makes no sense. Even ignoring the fact that the NYPD Commissioner is a civilian who is appointed by and reports to the mayor (and that's been the case since the 19th century), your sentence seems to suggest that the Commissioner should be reporting to their subordinate? Which is impossible? Unless you mean "Mamdani's subordinate", which - again - makes no sense, because the Commissioner is supposed to report to the mayor, and you'd think it's good that a new, socialist mayor wants to keep close tabs on the famously racist and brutal police force?
You're completely blind to the fact that Americans have - for the first time in recent history - voted for a socialist platform. That's the change.
No, I am not confused.
Sure, I'm a bot, whatever helps you sleep at night. But using my immense artificial intelligence known as "a brain", I can break that sentence down for you further:
All police are civilians lmao, what point are you trying to make? She's the head of the brutal gang.
Mamdani stated previously that she would be reporting to the Deputy Mayor, which would've better insulated him from political pressure to conform with the aforementioned state-sanctioned gang. More info here.
I'm not blind, I'm unimpressed. It's not a socialist platform, it's Democratic Socialism. We had actual socialists running multiple cities in America in the past. Wake me up when we get there or to federal influence - until then, I maintain that it's all theater. A pressure valve to help guarantee the momentum towards actual change is deflated before it can come to a head.
Wait, hold on... Are you saying that Hamas is a "righteous Palestinian resistance"? Are you fucking insane?
Ah... OK, you are fucking insane.
By definition, they are not. They are members of the executive branch of law enforcement.
She's not. She's the civilian oversight over the brutal gang. The head of the brutal gang is the Chief of Department. She is not allowed to partake in any actual police operations. CoD is.
Did you read the whole thing?
The two EOs he mentions are pointlessly stating the obvious. It's not the EO that defines responsibilities, it's the New York City Charter, Section 431, which states:
Which means that Adams and de Blasio were just trying to pad their first EOs to make them look smarter, I guess? Like, they are literally repeating the law.
Mamdani, instead, stated that his deputy will "supervise and coordinate" the work of the Police Commissioner, which is - seemingly - what you wanted him to do, no?
So where exactly is the problem, mate?
He didn't, in your own link it says that the deputy will "supervise and coordinate" the Police Department, among a billion other things. Supervision and coordination does not mean that the police "report directly" to the deputy.
You fucking people are the worst enemy of pro-human progress. It's always "all or nothing", you cannot be happy with small steps towards the betterment of people's lives, you'll just bitch and moan unless Marx is elected.
Didn't read
Yeah, doesn't surprise me you couldn't read that.
I said "didn't". Maybe you're the one with comprehension issues? Would explain your politics.
Text "too long" == didn't read == couldn't read. It's simple.
ok
