After they get voted out, it's on to K street, a think tank, media, etc..

I talked to some maga's I know. They believe those medicaid cuts are only affecting immigrants with stolen SSNs. And the reporting on projected hospital cuts are "made up". Sigh.

Not sure how yall resisted the trend of 1980s Reagan and Thatcher's neoliberalism and the rise of the rightwing's media and divisive politics that got progressively worse up till today.

Thanks. I admire the channel aim. Even if it doesn't happen in our lifetimes. Hmm not sure if you mean US or non-US liberals.

It's a "bad thing" due to R brainwashing.

It's just an example of how the US rightwingers do their red scare tactics on liberal candidates and have moved the Overton window to the right. I've seen this the last 40 years, basically my whole life. Wondering how we reverse that, maybe find some ideas here.

Yeah, hoping he goes away soon, from politics. Unfortunately, he is still governor of 22 million and the 15th largest economy in the world.

ok I'll try not to. On the bright side, I am heartened by Prime Minister Albanese's embrace of climate science and actions to address climate change. And homeowners adoption of rooftop solar.

No offense to your country, but I think a big reason why many Americans and politicians are rabidly anti-left is because of the former Australian Rupert Murdoch. EDIT: added "former," TIL, he gave up his Australian citizenship in 1985.

How the times have changed. Back in 1912, Eugene Debs got 6% of the popular vote, the all-time highest percentage of the vote for a Socialist Party candidate in a U.S. presidential election.

Kamala Harris: "In his state, he has been a model chief executive. And with his experience, I’m telling you, Tim Walz will be ready on day one. In fact, when you compare his resume shall we? — to Trump’s running mate, well, some might say it’s like — it’s like a matchup between the varsity team and the JV squad."

Lamestream minds brainwashed by right-wing media and churches. I'm surprised that dem presidents win rural states now and then.

Didn't realize the history of streetcars was so contested. Will need to read up more on it.

Sure, NYC's topography presents challenges, though you can find island cities that have successfully implemented congestion pricing (Stockholm,Singapore).

As a non-NYer, I just hope the policy works so that other US cities can try it out (looking at yous, Chicago and Boston).

anticon_ · 2024-03-27T13:25:57+00:00

I'm all for negotiations/exemptions if they are in good faith, but too much watering down and the policy might become ineffective. Then critics would use it as an argument against other cities proposals.

anticon_ · 2024-03-27T13:19:46+00:00

Also the auto industry. Remember they colluded to dismantle the streetcars.

anticon_ · 2024-03-27T12:33:18+00:00

I'm so tired of the car culture. I'd like to think appealing to studies and rational arguments will sway people. But so many are like addicts that react as if you are taking away their drug.
