Tbh though this does echo a problem that Zohran created for himself—posting lots of good, strident messaging about policing around 2020 and then trying to pretend that never happened. You just have to own it

This is worse though because it’s not Mamdani, it’s DSA National. It raises less questions about him as much as them

“demilitarize police departments.” What is this white liberal horseshit? Like this is literally what liberals constantly say should replace “defund the police” *because* it’s very much not the same thing as defund at all, it completely misunderstands the point.

* stylistic for the 2024 pamphlet. All bullet piints were simplified to shorter text with an image
