End their political lineage early with booting them off the ballot in a primary election

Dear leftist in San Francisco, you have a good option. Saikat Chakrabarti. Don't let the nation down. If the people that made Trump, Gulliani, Bloomberg, & Cuomo can deliver, so can you.

But but but tv talking head man said name with more than 3 syllable is scarey jihad?????

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (4 children)

You gotta admit it's problematic. I'm white as can be, and so is my first and last name, totally black middle name. Think John Tyrone Jones. Did not get a single reply on my resume for 2-months until I removed my middle name. 3 interviews, 2 offers and a job within 2 weeks. (This was 10 years ago.)

To this day I'm surprised Barack Hussein Obama made it all the way to the top. Times have changed drastically, but not that much.

LOL, at least I can pronounce her name. Some Indian names utterly kick my ass. Still, easier than Eastern European names. "I have no idea what those letters represent." At least I can sound out Indian names. :)

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The romanized versions of Indian names rely on more recent standardized transliteration rules.

Eastern European names keep legacy orthographies that are tied to centuries‑old literary traditions, records, and national identities.

I struggle with many Polish names especially.

Not gonna lie, I also had to look his name up. I've known about him for almost a decade, and I didn't know how to spell his name. I too believe that it's a racism card that has to be broken, but if a Muslim socialist who's called a communist can do it, I think he might be able to as well. I even think he's a better option than Mamdani.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

He certainly has more political experience than Mamdani having been AOC's chief of staff.

As a San Franciscan, I am telling everyone about saikat and how he is the best choice. But I think there are Democrats here that care more about low taxes and niche identity politics, like getting trans kids in sports, more than getting those same kids access to health care, housing, and food. SF is not an easy place for an economic leftist to get elected.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

It sounds like Saikat Chakrabarti would be wise to come out in support of trans rights, if he hasn't already.

She's 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.

I thought she was running for her mom's seat but I'm glad she's not. If she wants to run for local to prove herself then go for it. Lots of people follow in parents footsteps and it makes sense.

That said, I fully support progressive Saikat Chakrabarti running for Pelosi's House seat (against Wiener who is an AIPAC candidate...)

FFS! Just take your vast troves of unethically sourced riches and go away, Pelosis!

(After said riches are properly taxed, of course)

Tbf, primaries are carefully orchestrated by elites of both parties to make sure only their preferred factions dominate the primary ballots. Signing up to register in Republican and Democratic parties are intentionally made to be hard.

[–] verdantOrange@reddthat.com 15 points 1 week ago

I still remember when Bernie did his first run and suddenly a bunch of people had to vote provisional. It's almost as if the elections are rigged on both sides, with only a state's major opposing political party being caught.

She probably saw how easy it is for her mom to make money by insider trading and wants some of that green herself.

Now it makes sense why she is finally retiring

And no one will vote for her. Just watch.

Was she the one puppeteering Dianne Feinstein's remains?

Oh. That's why her mom is stepping down. OK.
