I actually think Mamdani has helped accelerate this as well, proving that it’s possible to just do things citizens want by you know, doing them them takes so much air out of bought and paid for career politicians

It’s obviously not all him, but I do think the visibility and his overall authenticity is changing hearts and minds

    And he balanced the budget. Republicans do the opposite now when balancing the budget used to be their political war cry. And he did it right away, didn’t take long.

    Basically every municipal budget in the country could be balanced by de-funding the police.

    Maybe there's fuckwoods county Montana, with two park rangers a cop and a comptroller, but the cop could still be replaced with a social worker who gets paid half as much and does more good.
