Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

A Dem push to win back America that could actually work.

Drop expanding gun control. The best plan to reduce gun crime is the same as it is for crime. Reduce poverty. Focus on universal healthcare (M4A), universal and equal access to education, and improved social safety net.

The pitch becomes that Democrats are the only party actually trying to reduce crime and increase personal liberties and well being.

If Democrats made that switch they could turn many states more purple or even solid blue.

Alaska, Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and possibly more...

Gun rights is a huge single issue voter point of contention.

 

A lot of that is what Mamdani said. Make living in New York affordable.

 

New York Times ran hit piece on Zohran Mamdani. They dredged up his college application and noted he had checked boxes for Asian and also Black/African.

New York Times are not ignorant. They know history of Indians in Uganda. Began arriving late 19th century. Lived there for generations. Considered themselves African. Most had never been to India. Uganda dictator Idi Amin, African Trump, expelled all Asians. Many came to Canada or US. A person born in Uganda, whose family lived there for generations, might well consider themselves African.

Times tried to make him look dishonest. Or "DEI hire". Or cultural appropriation. He had the gall to beat corrupt woman abusing establishment candidate.

BTW, Kash Patel is same background.

 

That's great! I hope he keeps it up.

Gotta drop the gun portion though if they have any hope of winning those people back (not Mamdani, but the party as a whole. I don't know his specific stance on guns).

They have to be adamant that while guns are dangerous, law abiding citizens have the right to own them andbso the best way to address gun violence is the same as any other kind of violence. The goal has to be universal healthcare, universal access to education through college/trade school (including free or, even better tax incentivized firearms training), and a drastically improved social safety net.

I also think we need to reform the police and judicial system. But I'm not sure right now is the time to rail on that. But Dems who win need to make sure to make quality changes within that system.

They also need to reject large and corporate donations and make sure infrastructure projects are done well and completed quickly.

These are things that can be done. There is no reason for Americans to give up any freedoms to address these concerns. And Dems who address them would be almost unbeatable.

 

Follow the MAGA/BBB blueprint. Tell people you are going to do something they like. Completely disavow anything the voters won't like, even if you've already said it or put it in print elsewhere. Attack your opponents in return so they waste time defending themselves rather than spotlighting your issues. Gain control of the WH and both houses of Congress. Sign executive orders to start the process to enact all the stuff you were trying to say you weren't doing. Have Congress vote to pass bills within the next couple of weeks that just say they are keeping the status quo, which is now the EOs, and codify that before it becomes a matter for SCOTUS to counter.

They could do universal healthcare and gun control a couple of different ways like this and have 3 1/2 years to worry about holding enough seats in the federal government for the next election.

 

What’s even more cringe is that there’s a voting block that actually voted to let this nut bag represent them.

I think Crockett would kick her ass.

 

Maybe have them square off on Trump's UFC card next July 4 at the White House.

 

Are you saying I left out commas? Correct. Excuse is S2 shutting down. Type fast and post. It has taken three tries to type this. That said I think you know my meaning.

See if I can before getting shut down.

Beat a corrupt, woman-abusing, establishment candidate...

The source for hit piece on Mamdani is racist who claims "proof" black people not as smart as white

 

Dude looks like Rumpelstiltskin.
