Just remember what your ancestors fought for

If that's what they want vote for then they deserve anything coming their way.

For those keeping track at home:

- The cultures that dominate the places people flee to come here AND SEEK REFUGEE STATUS have innate, immense value

- Americans can learn so much by exposing themselves to the ideas and ways of life in places that people coming from said places say is such a nightmare that they can never return

- Those cultures are under no obligation to open themselves up to outsiders, they're too valuable for that, we can't tarnish them

- Imposing any other ideas or influences on those cultures in those places is, of course, racism and genocide

- No, America has no culture of its own, we're merely comprised of the cultures from the places the people who brought the cultures to us say is worse than death

- Saying America has any culture of its own is racist (and probably genocide but we're still workshopping that)

I would like everyone here to take just a moment to think about one simple little piece of early American history:

Our forefathers, the early settlers of the New World that we call America, rebelled and went to war against the most powerful nation and military in the world, because King George III levied a 3% tax on fricking TEA.

Our fighting spirit is dead, when we won't do anything about 38-45% of our money being taxed in one way or another.

and colonialism

Paw paw stormed the beaches at Normandy for lgbt rights and food stamps

They work hard and mind their own business! Better them than the culture!

The “color blind” and related talking points from the right need to end

Ask people in North Dallas or Sugar Land about that

The problem is, NYC is (albeit less so than in times past) still a top financial, legal, cultural, etc etc etc hub of this nation.

If my pinky toe gets gangrene, it’s still incredibly bad for my whole body.


These people need to be rebuked and made to wallow in their shite. But we also need to reclaim our cities.

I'm torn... on one hand, I think it's a terrible idea to let a communist, America hating muslim extremist to take over leadership of our largest city and U.S. financial hub...

But on the other hand, if they elect him... they made their bed. Let them lie in it.

And that was for a Muslim foreigner to become mayor of NYC and institute socialist policies

They fought for local people to chose their local political leaders without outside interference. If the community wants to elect Mamdani, they can. If they want to elect a right winger, they can. The right and power of communities to select their own representatives is EXACTLY what our ancestors fought for.
