Yep! Social murder is the number one cause of death worldwide.

In general, the people ARE actually pretty progressive (as evidenced byprogressive policies tending to be favored by overwhelming majorities when not attached to the name of someone the establishment has spent millions if not billions vilifying).

The main problem is that the political system has fallen so deep into corruption that it's a representative democracy in name only.

It's way past time for rebellion against not just the fascists, but also the system itself and the Democrats who consider it more important than the general welfare of the people.

I for one am DEFINITELY not, no.

Will be interesting to see what they do tbh, since Cuomo has already lost to him once and the other two candidates are openly sucking up to the Mango Mussolini. Makes endorsing anyone quite the tricky proposition..

In New York, the Dem primary is MUCH more competitive than the general against (perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante) Curtis Sliwa and whichever dross failed to achieve the backing of one of the parties but are still rich and/or corrupt enough to afford running anyway.

Other than Sliwa, his opponents will be a corrupt as fuck compulsive liar who was probably days from being sentenced to prison when he decided to pledge his allegiance to the Mango Mussolini without joining the GOP, and possibly the sex offender he just beat.

Dunno, other people are busy or asleep? 🤷

what makes them any different than a criminal?

Given that they're committing crimes, they literally ARE criminals. Abducting people without due process is kidnapping no matter who you are.

I'm fully expecting them to. The Dem leadership supporting an ACTUAL leftist is only SLIGHTLY more likely than them going full fascist and endorsing Curtis Sliwa..

If Cuomo runs 3rd party

He's running as an independent, yes.

and the Dem establishment supports him

Unless they suddenly fall back in love with Adams or go full Sliwa, they will. They fight the left exactly as much as they accommodate the far right.

It would take a catastrophe for him not to.

His opponents in the general are as follows:

• The corrupt former governor sex pest he just beat, running as an independent in order to get a do-over
• Current mayor in spite of being a hair's breath from prison until he went full MAGA, always being a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) and genuinely unhinged, Eric Adams
• Perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante lunatic Curtis Sliwa.

Not only are they all awful candidates in themselves, their core demographics also overlap to such a degree that it'll be an upset if more than one of them reaches double digits!

Never tried those but DAMN they sound good! 🤤

Thanks, I think so too 🥰

Not really, but thanks for offering!

Nah, caramel fudge and liquorice fudge are pretty rad too 😁

True. Would be a pretty bad idea, though 🤷

How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?

Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.

Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in "in favor of apartheid" AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug..

Yup, sure seems to be a zionist at any rate..

Pretty sure that was introduced some time in the 70s or 80s. Plus it's delicious 😁

I'm all for it if it also means having enough time to stop the Bush v Gore debacle from happening, thus likely avoiding 9/11 and thus a huge chunk of all the shittiest things to happen to the world in this millennium.

Yeah no, some of us foreigners tend to be squeamish about products of slave labor..
