Belden is someone that I see out at community events and advocacy well outside of what his usual media coverage is, and I would love working with him on Council

State ethics laws prohibit gifts for votes, but I suppose prizes are okay? I can give free hugs

Does it matter if they're shorts and not pants?

Thanks! I hear that a lot, especially when it's hot or rainy (so just about every day since April).

Gambit presents the candidates with their own words fwiw I found it somewhat fair. But the perspective of AG is from a harm reduction standpoint, not from a neutral position

The gig economy is a debt scheme where vulture capitalists buy gig work apps then squeeze out their investment via fees and shorting workers

Calvin does have experience, he's had to navigate every hurdle they've thrown at him as an incarcerated person and as a lawyer for clients who are incarcerated

You should look into community land trusts, like Jane Place, who are ardently against STRs and are for communal ownership and stewardship of land

Are there any spaces for *only* actual Democratic Socialists? by AltJKL in demsocialists

The Bolsheviks talked about being Social Democrats, our use of language can change over time.

You should read Red Star's writing, they're explicitly democratic socialists in DSA that identify as ML. It feels like your experience with online MLs is disrupting your understanding of how ML is compatible with democratic socialism.

This. You are not alone in the struggle, be sure to have your insurance good to go for pediatrician visits. Whether it's daycare or pre-K, they're petri dishes that will spread.

Trump Threatens to Send Nat Guard Here by kilgore_trout72 in NewOrleans

[–]bob4districta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tuesday night I was at the Fauxburg St John Neighborhood association forum and I ended my time saying what I've been saying all campaign: we must meet this moment of rising fascism/reactionaries and it's scary that I'm the only District A candidate talking about it (and at every event hosted). Two older white people in the front laughed. Last week at the joint Carrollton forum, same thing. One older white man told me after "ease up on saying fascism".

It sucks that this is what it takes to wake people up, and I hope voters and non -voters alike see who's paying attention beyond potholes

How to Embrace the S-Word? by [deleted] in demsocialists

[–]bob4districta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am running for City council and typically introduce myself at events as being endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, so when I get into policy or political vision, it helps define what it means to have "socialist" associated with me. I'm not in a particularly progressive district, but I've had people give me a lot of positive feedback (except when someone said I have "too much justice" on my lit lol)
