How about we introduce wealth taxes everywhere and see where the billionaires flee then?
The current DNC chair has been saying for months that not only did Mamdani run a campaign that should be emulated, but that his policy positions are what voters want nationally too.
So yeah...
The next Dem presidential candidate will likely want to do it nationally. And without a corrupt DNC working against progressives in the primary, a progressive is gonna win the primary.
There's lots to be optimistic about, but billionaires aren't going to let it be said in the media they own.
I'll believe results. Democrats' words aren't worth the tepid air they're excreted on. The new chair presided over the ouster of David Hogg and the shameful attempted ratfucking of Mamdani. If the party improves, it will be in spite of leadership's efforts.
I know this is sincere and justified jadedness, but your wording was so eloquent it made me chuckle.
wealth tax and universal basic income benefit the owning class too, because people can spend more money on buying products which means companies make more revenue, and let's face it, an economy is primarily measured by how much revenues the companies make.
The easiest system to replace is one you control...
No one said we have to go 0% to 100% fixed in one term, just that the glacial pace of neoliberlism clearly wasn't keeping up.
Look at France, they'll riot at the drop of a hat to maintain an inch of ground. Full stomachs and housing stability doesn't mean people turn into brainwashed cows, they can still work towards more.
Planning long term and moving up a ladder one rung at a time is better than spending your short life trying to jump over a 20 foot wall.
🎶 Taxes to the right of me, guill'tines to the left 🎵
It's catchy...
