There's a huge difference between what politicians say and do before they get elected and after.
I'm cheering for the guy alongside you. I hope he gets elected. I'm not putting much faith in him.
Mamdani talked a good game as well. Who'd he pick as his head of police? Cuz that's very revealing.
How many times did he go to a pro-palestine rally since getting elected? He's been finding excuses to avoid it altogether.
Dems core and establishment is firmly pro-genocide. There's only so much change he'll bring fighting them alone. I hope he wins still. Politicians have to work within that system and there's not much wiggle room if you aren't an imperialist yourself.
He's alone because there's millions of centrists like you who won't support him, won't support people like him. What kind of lukewarm ass support was that? I've seen people get more excited about a lego building reality show than you got about Abdul! That was some weak shit!
You gotta have hope. You gotta believe in a better tomorrow or you're not going to be capable of building it. I'm a strategic anarchist because I believe in a better tomorrow. You should too.
You gotta express love, not just rage. You gotta build stuff up, not just tear it down. There's no future in directionless whinging. You can't just stand against stuff. You gotta stand for something, too.
I don't think just about our immediate surrounding. I'm not looking for instant gratification from the political process. It'll run its course and we'll see what happens.
Step one is about to happen. I'm absolutely hoping that he wins. He'll be much better in every way than that other guy, I don't doubt that bit.
We'll see what comes after and how much he can deliver.
I got no faith in that party though. Systemic changes will require time. Repairing relationships with allies will take a lot of time. Donald broke trust and bonds that'll likely never go back to how they were and there's nothing Senator El- Syed can do to speed things up.
