If Mamdani loses the general that should be a wake up call to Americans that even the illusion of their democracy is dead. The man behind the curtain isn’t even hiding anymore.

Meaning, if Mamdani loses it is only because the full forces of the capitalist class from both of their parties were able win.

You seem to think that there is some major difference between New York and some southern town in Georgia for example. And to many degrees there are. But it’s not because the people have fundamentally different wants and goals. The people throughout this country want a good job, a place to live, healthcare, and an end to wars of the empire. The major difference between them is how their concent is manufactured.

The difference isn’t in policy or even in politics. The difference is in the ability to break through the existing lies they are distracted by. Racism, xenophobia, queerphobia, etc.

Most working class people in America will be open to progressive policies when they see them actually implemented successfully in major blue cities.

I’m not saying to run as a socialist in Savannah, GA. I’m saying that we do not give away ground. We continue to push for further leftists politicians like Mamdani where we can win. And that will literally shift the entire nations politics.

These are the only wins we can hope for in electoral politics right now. Because by the time we’re voting for another president it’s going to be to late. The fascist state will have been fully established.

Yeah. We should keep running more milk toast politicians with vague policies like “affordability” or “abundance” (I think that’s their new term for more neoliberalism now) that’ll show em!

Dude, free busses, rent control, and public grocery stores are not some “far left” policy. They are standard in much of the world.

The Democratic party is the failure that it is today BECAUSE they tried to convince you that democratic socialist policies would not win. They do. Fucking Kentucky has a publicity owned and operated Internet provider. There is nothing radical or far left about Mamdani’s policy plans.

I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can’t seem to recognize how insane what she said was.

So much so that a half ass “apology” like she gave is enough for you I guess.

I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.

Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.

Not sure about the title of this post. But I just really wish more Democrat voters would come to the realization that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump because they liked him. They voted for him because of how absolutely ineffective the Democratic party has been.

Zohran should really be a reality check for people. The people that voted for him were not politics Andy’s like you and I. They voted for him because he had a clear message “free busses and rent freeze” is his “build the wall”.

People are looking for real promises. The biggest difference is that a rent freeze and better public transit actually will improve their lives.

If you don’t offer real improvements the masses will go for the guy with the xenophobic policy. A policy that promises to hurt “people not like me” and maybe then that will make my life better.

That’s the reasoning. Simple as.

It’s not because the masses love racism or rapists. It’s because they are so desperate for a politician that will actually represent working class interest that the first idiot billionaire with charisma was a “why not” in 2016.

In 2024 it was a complete lack of the Democratic party to capitalize on that. There are people in America thirsting for the “change” that Obama promised. They just got wise. They realized that if it’s called “change” or “abundance” it’s the same stupid shit that maintains the interest of the rich.

It’s not a conspiracy theory mate. Republicans do it all the time. Signal racism and then say “oh I didn’t mean it like that”.

That’s all she’s done. She just did it with the liberal aesthetic you enjoy.

Notice how she apologized for “mischaracterizing” and for her tone? Yeah. Because she know she would do that.

The entire point is to mischaracterize the position and spread racist xenophobia. Why can liberals know exactly what this is when conservatives do it to black people but when racist Zionist do it to brown people they think “well, they apologized by saying ‘it wasn’t totally accurate’”

Don’t believe these people trying to fight progress by trying to appeal to Americans racism and xenophobia. They aren’t your allies. They aren’t good people. They are trying to keep them and their corrupt friends in power. That’s it.

Honestly, I don’t want their endorsement. Fuck em. This party is getting taken over by the left or we’re burning it down.

I think they see the inevitable rise of fascism and don’t want to get grabbed by Trump’s brown shirts. They’re liberals that are being scratched and looking for a safe place in the future.

They didn’t even do their typical. “Oh we’re against the bombing of Iran but because he didn’t go through Congress”. I literally was waiting to roll my eyes at all their liberal “following procedure for our war crimes” but they even stayed quiet about it mostly.

We had two parties. Fascist and Liberals. Now we just have fascist and Liberals looking for a safe place in the new power structures. They’re kind of confused I think. A little caught off guard with how much Trump is following through on actual policy. They’re use to both parties lying and giving working class dollars to the rich. The conservatives are no longer playing the game of politics they all use to love that got nothing done.

Fuck the party leaders and most of these shits in Washington. They have no place now. We don’t need their endorsement.

We can win with the momentum. We don’t need to win power back through votes. We just need to give this countries people enough hope to build class consciousness. Decades can happen it weeks.

Just got let go from Microsoft for speaking out. Not that it would matter. But now the UN is at least on my side too. Garbage company. Never even wanted to work there. My company got bought out by them and suddenly was a Microsoft employee. Fuck em! All their leadership should be in prison or worse.
