I hope the Overton window shifts that far to the left some day.

Chakrabarti, a 39-year-old former tech worker and multi-millionaire, is best known as the former chief of staff to New York City Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who drew national attention after defeating 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in 2018.
Among other priorities, Chakrabarti supports guaranteeing health care for all, making public colleges and trade schools tuition-free, taxing billionaires, banning the revolving door between Congress and the lobbying industry, prohibiting Congress members from trading stocks, and turning PG&E into a public utility to lower people’s utility bills.
Easy, just lie to companies and say it will drastically reduce labor costs, allowing them to put more in their own pockets. It has worked this far.
Dem Leaders Continue To Fail Base by Whitewashing-
FTFY
I have always seen it as a “Perfection is the enemy of progress.” phrase.
I.E. Yes, that blue candidate is funded by target, but the red candidate will do so much worse things to the people.
Wait, trump lied!?!
Their voter base is not the most educated, so they are VERY susceptible to misinformation. Also, they have raised their base to be extremely reactionary.
It is not really the politicians these would be aimed at, even though some have very fragile egos and may act solely because it hurts their feefees.
I think this is similar to the gerrymandering issue where, since only the Republicans have abused it for years they have had 0 reason to vote for any legislation put up against it.
Now that the D’s are doing it, they might consider the risk is higher than the reward with Gerrymandering and say nobody is allowed to do it.
Just gotta start pumpin out gen images of Rs for them to reconsider their stance.
To be clear, I am very against AI gen images. But, like you were saying, I don’t see any reason for them to take any action against it until it affects them.
OG poll source is paywalled, but figured it was better to have this here for people who haven’t seen it than not.

They are trying, just give them a bit more time and money and money and money and money.
Take into consideration that dumpy has his eyes on NYC.
I would expect some election shenanigans to happen for this mayoral election and a guaranteed accusation of election fraud if Zohran wins.

It might be worth it to try a 10min power nap after work and see if that helps.
