Unironically, yes, they can’t govern and are sick of it, they have much more fun and get much higher ratings when they’re in opposition and not in control.
Literally just pro China propaganda, they are doing exactly what they did in Minnesota and California, they are funneling your tax dollars to foreign anti-American bad actors.
And the data center thing wether you agree or not is still bad for America AI competitiveness making it good for China.
No such thing as a free lunch literally they can call it whatever they want but it is actually for advancing China Interests.
Born and raised there; a DSA governor is a fucking fantastic step in the right direction. I'll mention her to my family but...
Wisconsin is the south of the north. I regularly drove past a Confederate flag. Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the US (or was, havent checked recently) and the GOP leans into that with a lot of ugly rhetoric.
This article is getting a little long in the tooth but is a quality deep dive into some of the very thinly veiled (or outright) systemic racism in Wisconsin.
Also; rural Grindr made me sad for queer men raised in that environment, including myself.
I just wanted to know that your last statement brought me a bit of comfort today, thank you. I've been feeling a bit isolated here, since, well, ever, but was never able to make it out yet :/ I'm not that rural, but anywhere outside of Milwaukee or Madison is pretty bleak.
I'm beginning to wonder if someone more left leaning has infiltrated fox. The boss say "put together a hit piece on the demonrat", "sure thing boss" says our mole, before turning over this graphic. To the boss it look great, surely no one could support this! To everyone less poisoned, it looks a lot more enticing.
It's always funny when Fox puts up radical left wing policies like taxing billionaires and supporting families and then have to scramble to take them down because even Fox viewers read them and think they sound like a good idea.
Yes! I've been thinking the same thing. This was posted yesterday, and the lurker part of my brain said "surely someone else has already had this idea". So I checked all the comments, but it wasn't there. Then the lurker said "they'll say it soon, and in better words". And it was right!
That said, US politics is so bad that this platform is legitimately further left than like 95% of electeds. If this candidate is a Democrat it's likely that her own party will favor a candidate to her right in primary and if she beats them, possibly still not throw their weight behind her in the general.
Remember that the leader of the Democratic party is basically a domestic spokesperson for Israel and refuses to acknowledge support the most popular politician in his own party.
Yeah our country has taxes too low to provide necessary services. Like across the board. Yes, we spend too much on cops, prisons, and war, but we have needs and uncontroversial wants that we can't fund without higher taxes or ever increasing debt.
The one thing you CAN do, and it's FREE is to place a FREE freeze on your credit file with the following:
Experian
Equifax
Transunion
Chexsystems
Lexisnexis
These leeches are required by law to provide a free method to freeze access to your credit file. They don't make it easy to find, and bury it under their paid "premium" offers, usually in a plain-text link at the bottom of the page.
Once you do this, those pre-approved credit cards will stop cold. This will increase your credit score every month, as each one is a "soft inquiry" on your file, costing you thousands over time in higher interest rates, denied credit, and denied leases/rental. It also helps slow down identity theft.
Do this for your kids' social security numbers as well. Those are prime for theft.
My issue is the classification of these particular items being far-left is a failure of what the far-left. Depending on what you consider socialism, this would be it or a conciliation to the ruling class.
It's not far-left because it does not restrict a citizen's own right to run a for-profit grocery store. She only wants the state to run its own grocery stores. I hope I'm wording this right.
Conservative voters have been trained to dislike things that are good for them. That's why many Republican controlled areas of this country are almost indistinguishable from 3rd world countries.
The really sinister part is seeing that even some “liberal” Americans have the seeds of conservatism planted in their viewpoints. These are the centrists that tend to say one thing but act out a different way. The brainwashing is deep.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine has been able to control the political messaging in this country for decades, and some of their messages have become standard belief, like the concept that everything the government does is ALWAYS incompetent and wasteful, and that simply isn't true. MOST of what the government does is very effective.
The government is an enormous bureaucracy, and if you root around enough, you'll find issues, but overall, it does a pretty amazing job, when responsible people are managing it.
We need to challenge these standard beliefs that have become dogma, like Dem are bad for the economy (when ALL studies prove that it's MAGA), Socialism is terrible (when many of the best things in America are Socialist, and it still offers better outcomes than whatever we are doing now), etc., and start moving in the direction that we have been so carefully directed away from.
We can't raise the minimum wage! Think of the poor shareholders at Walmart paying my salary! They can't afford $2 more an hour AND a summer home in the Hamptons. Fuckin libtard
It doesn't matter, The people who watch Focks Nooz wouldn't vote for a non-red candidate even if the red candidate said they will literally come and burn down your house if you vote for them.
Expectation: Installation of an egomaniac dictator, which will lead to cult of personality, crackdown on speech and expression based on said dictator's feelings, and installing loyalist to key positions.
That is a strong set of policies. Too bad there's nothing about the current housing crisis, like disposessing slumlords to turn the properties into subsidised housing or giving renters the option to buy, but still strong.
Copied and pasted from Francesca Hong's policy platform page:
We’re going to make sure nobody goes to sleep cold, and that renter protections are consistently enforced. As governor, Rep. Hong will use her executive authority to bolster rental unit regulations, pursue aggressive regulation of slumlords and serial housing-law violators, and make it easier for tenants to flag issues and find support.
The horror! OMG the horror. Anyway, let's try it as an experimental effort to demonstrate just how much harm socialism does to actual people. That'll teach 'em..............
Looks like they know their base is so stupid they can make them hate good things just by saying it’s left. They used to hide it better.
Also there’s the possibility it’s a plant and this is reverse psychology. I dont know this person and i trust no one now. They’ve done that enough times i wouldn’t be surprised.
that reminds me of that Obama Skit on Key and Peele where Obama just listed republican talking points and the republicans couldn't help but disagree with them because it was being proposed by a liberal.

(Fox needs to have a disclaimer on all their bullshit that says they are legally required to say this is opinion and not news, as well as quoting their lawyer when he said something like "no one actually believes any of this")
They did this exact thing to AOC's Green New Deal when she introduced it, and I couldn't comprehend how people could read it as a bad thing (at least those who weren't top 1%ers wanting to evade taxes).
and none of it will matter because wisconsin is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country, all but a guarantee that republicants will remain in control of the state assembly and none of a democrat governor's platform will see the light of day.
You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you'll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can't go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won't be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn't it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don't have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can "invest" all of their wealth. Doesn't that sound much better? Think mate!
I'd love it if she won. I can't think of a faster way to ensure that MAGA shitstain Tom Tiffany is the next governor of Wisconsin than for her to win the nomination, though. WI isn't California or New York, even if it is all bullshit there is just too much red meat for the MAGAt puppetmasters to seize upon to vilify her and whip the dullards up into a blood frenzy, even if it is in their own's heads.
If they don't want social programs then they need to pay enough that we can buy those things. But they don't want that either. Sooooo...they just want us to not consume resources and die?
The only two items that could even possibly be a negative to certain people are the last two. And only to rich fucks who also might wanna build data centers.

Never heard of Fransesca Hong before. Not sure what office she's running for, but I hope she wins!

If I run for president or governor of California, I will implement the same “far left” policies

I'd love it if she won. I can't think of a faster way to ensure that MAGA shitstain Tom Tiffany is the next governor of Wisconsin than for her to win the nomination, though. WI isn't California or New York, even if it is all bullshit there is just too much red meat for the MAGAt puppetmasters to seize upon to vilify her and whip the dullards up into a blood frenzy, even if it is in their own's heads.

Funny how in the sh*thole called the USA those things are considered far-left when in other countries those would be center/center-left views lol

If they don't want social programs then they need to pay enough that we can buy those things. But they don't want that either. Sooooo...they just want us to not consume resources and die?

Literally yes, that's exactly what they want

So genocide. Do we not have a right to defend our lives, then? If not, why support this system of rules at all?
