    Being a politician means being a salesperson first and foremost. He knows that defund the police means doing the same things, but to voters one sounds harsh while the other sounds “common sense.” As a salesperson now I don’t get to makeup how people will hear my words, but I do get to shape what I say so I’m likely to be the winner.

    You’re mad at Mamdani when you should be mad that people don’t care enough to look up something and learn.

      To me theyre precisely why hard left people rarely get into power.

      They feel they shouldn’t have to play by the rules of the game as stupid as they are and thus rarely ever win. To their own detriment.

        I wish the same could be said of the far right but trashing the constitution is a point of honour for the King of USA and his cultists lap it up.
