I recall one of the better mayors of Chicago was Washington. I don't remember a lot about his policies, didn't live there anymore, but I recall the city was pretty stable, much more inclusive, peaceful. But it's been years, and I might be wrong. Just my impression. We should look at what works?
Yes. The DSA guy now is a one termer. If their guy wins NYC- which he won’t- it will be same. They can’t govern. Period. Can’t win can’t strategize can’t govern. We had a repub run as a dem too. But we don’t have RCV.
Exactly. DSA-type folks pushing badly-written bills in our CA legislature fall back on those who vote against them as "corporate shills". It's really because the bill sucks. I can't believe how poorly thought out some "progressive" stuff is. GOP do it, too; it's pitiful progs are no better!
They are progressive. That’s a misnomer. They are regressive. Look what they did to Joe. Kamala. They didn’t vote for her, stole her entire platform and act like they invented fire. Omg. They COULDNT LET A BLACK WOMAN LEAD HER OWN PLATFORM.

That's why, years ago w DSoc, DSA's precursor, I walked. It was chiefly the elite white disdain for communities of color that, over the years, has expanded. Utterly disgusting.
Yes. They’ve always been unwashed entitled privileged little fools who lie and lie.
Actually most of the leadership was quite well to do. I had a lot of trouble with 'starving students' in hand-tooled shoes. They were 'showing solidarity' with working people they sneered at behind their back. They talk the talk (however superficial) but never walked the walk. EVER.
Yes. Smdh. I personally love all the BLM and Ukraine in their bios and they vote directly against both every time. Huh.
Even in 'radical' San Francisco they recalled the lefty DA as I remember. He was an absolute nightmare and got tossed. Extreme ideas have REAL LIFE consequences. They often don't serve the people, only the ideologues. Imagine that.
Yes. I forgot about that lol.
