2025 & 2026 Elections

[superrific]

I am increasingly skeptical that there will ever again be elections for federal office in the sense of having an outcome not be predetermined by the current regime. I dont say that to be reactionary or overly paranoid. I just feel that the current path is one of escalating WTF moments that the public isnt prepared for.

You might be right. The word you're looking for is "too reactive." Reactionary is what they are. It wasn't a distinction that was terribly important a decade ago, but it is today.

Rather than copy/paste the definitions of each from an online dictionary, which wouldn't be useful, I'll say that these are examples of what I'm talking about:

"My platform is that every single person should have housing, and I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? For what?" Mamdani questioned in a resurfaced video that has been clipped and reposted across conservative social media.

"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," Mamdani said.

Mamdani sparks firestorm with resurfaced comment on abolishing private property: 'He's a communist'
