I'm sorry but if you’re a Democratic Governor who's touting a revised transit budget plan that still comes at the expense of service cuts, that’s a step in the wrong direction. Leaving this here for Dems who are still trying to figure out how to win back young voters. 🚌🫏🗳️ ripta.com/publichearings
Gen Z needs reliable mass transit, for the climate and our quality of life newjerseymonitor.com/2024/06/26/g...
Furthermore, young voters want to see stronger action to address the housing crisis! Housing costs continue to skyrocket in Los Angeles but many Democratic elected officials there are opposing state legislation to expand affordable housing near major transit stops. 🫠 bsky.app/profile/cohe...
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: Very few decisions Newsom makes are the best for his constituency, but ... please explain why we need to woo "young voters" for any reason? They stay home most elections, and the ones that didn't were almost evenly split between a woman and a nazi.
We want more transit and housing, not less!! Cc: @ridemparty.bsky.social @youngdemsri.bsky.social @youngdems.bsky.social @democrats.org
So if the gubernatorial election comes down to a far-right trumper vs the incumbent, are you really threatening to vote for the far-right trumper over a route going from 40 to 55 minutes or whatever?
In that case, I’d vote for lesser of the two evils.
