we need not to follow the status quo, and do the same things over and over again, the definition of insanity. I wish I was a New Yorker, to vote for Mamdani who seems to get it and is for the people. We have some evil people in our government which have to be rooted out, even some career politicians who show they are for working for their donors and not us. I hate how they are smearing Mamdani because he is a Muslim, they are bringing up Islamophobia again, crap when is this going to stop. We all have the same color of blood RED!!!

We need more people like AOC, Crockett, Maxwell Frost, David Hogg, Malcolm Kenyatta, Jason Jones to name a few. The old guard must step aside we are not living in that same world any longer, and give these new ideas and people come into the forefront.
