Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee to be the next mayor of New York City and a self-identified democratic socialist, on Sunday said billionaires contribute to inequality.
Two US Democratic senators were just assassinated by a MAGAt impersonating a cop who carried with him a hit list of 50 other senators he was going to kill. This is not outside the realm of possibilities in this day and age.
Edit: Looked it up, appears to be State Rep. Hortman (was confused as ‘US Senator’ means Senator to the federal Senate, not state-level House representative). Can’t find a second assassination though.
Umm, it’s not a moral failing to highlight historical facts. A historian of WWII Nazism is not, in fact, a Nazi. There is real historical precedence for the idea that radical ideas for social change has been met with smears and, if unsuccessful, real violence against the leader(s) of that social change.
Whether his ideas are successful, or not, the powers that run the world will stop at nothing to prevent their loss of power. I fail to see how pointing out that fact, and hoping this time is different while acknowledging that history, is somehow some moral failing of the OP of this comment chain.
wtf
Popular American politician starts saying radical but good things tends to end in a certain way.
If you live in the past and your mindset got a little fucky. Off base.

Yeah, that’s true. I don’t even remember why I respond like that lol. Sorry.
You have Donald Trump as a president and masked goons snatching people off the streets.
You’re right it’s changing, and it’s not for the better.
Yeah that’s true. I wasn’t thinking clearly this morning.
