It means #RankedChoiceVoting is scary af for #VichyDemocrats who will do anything to keep their #Corporate sponsors happy & hire PIOs to spin it as a win for working people
#BloombergDems who have lost elections they could've won to placate #Clintonista donors
Time for a new direction

Update: Andrew Cuomo has conceded the New York City mayoral primary before the second round of votes have been counted, after a strong showing by Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. 33 -year-old Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and campaigned on a progressive platform that includes support for free city buses and a rent freeze. Cuomo's campaign said he is "looking toward November," indicating he is not ruling out an independent run. Here's more from @abc

#AndrewCuomo #Cuomo resigned from the governor's office in disgrace, sexual harassment allegations, and is trying to make a comeback
#ZohranMamdani is solidly on the #Left, a member of the #DemocraticSocialists of America #DSA, and is rocketing in the #polls
He can pass Cuomo today or just fall shy
To pass #Mamdani the mantle, you have to #vote!

#Pride #PortlandME did not disappoint! I only took a few pictures, since it was hard to get out in front! Fellow #DemocraticSocialists were well-represented (I wanted to march with them, but had too much on my plate lately). They were the only ones I saw carrying a #Palestinian flag in the parade... Good for them!!!

Capitalism is so broken that even the conservative centrist Tim Miller of the Bulkwark has to admit it & chants "DSA".

Combine the "Trump Card", announcement of UAE "investment in US companies", propping up of #Tesla & this ridiculous #Newsmax IPO. This 💩 stinks to high heaven.
On a related note, a new targ- I mean billionaire just dropped.
"we need to understand that he has left our house – that of #democraticsocialists and #socialdemocrats – and crossed the street to build a new one amongst our enemies. So be it. We will stay to guard the old house."

So, a number of friends of mine (IRL) have given up on the Democrats and the US Greens and the Libertarians -- to become #DemocraticSocialists. Now, if we could get the #Anarchists on board (or at least have them as allies...). :solidarity:
All I can say about #USElections is that with #Harris2024, you *might* be able to get her to change her policies on #Israel or #Fracking. With #Trump2024, you won't be even be able to protest those policies. Seriously... And yes, I catch flack from other #Greens (not usually the #DemocraticSocialists) who think I should vote for #JillStein again. Yeah, I understand voting with your conscience, but I also understand that sometimes that choice has consquences. I voted #NaderLaDuke in 2000, and we all saw what happened under #GeorgeWBush. Just saying... (#AlGore would have brought so much progress when it comes to #ClimateChange and the #Environment). That's why I'm voting for #HarrisWalz. They're not perfect, but they're not #ChristoFascists.

Anti-Defamation League Maps Jewish #PeaceRallies With #Antisemitic Attacks
American Jews have mobilized several thousand #Jews across the U.S. to call for a #ceasefire in #Gaza. #ADL calls these Jewish organizations 'hate groups.'
Micah Lee
November 11 2023, 6:00 a.m.
“On October 27, several thousand Jews and their allies shut down the main terminal of Grand Central Station during rush hour in New York City, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. Organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, the activists at the peaceful sit-in wore black T-shirts that read 'Not In Our Name.' 'It’s the largest sit-in protest the city has seen in over two decades,' Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman said. About 400 people were arrested, including rabbis.
“The Anti-Defamation League has classified the event — and dozens of other protests led by Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow — as 'anti-Israel,' according to an analysis by The Intercept, and added them to their database documenting rising antisemitism across the U.S.
“’We’re seeing a genuine rise in antisemitic attacks and white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic hate and violence,' Eva Borgwardt, the national spokesperson for IfNotNow, told me. 'When white nationalism is on the rise, to cheapen the accusation of antisemitism by applying it to Palestinian rights advocates, including Jews, is incredibly irresponsible and dangerous.'
“Since Hamas’s brutal October 7 attack on southern Israel where Palestinian militants killed over 1,400 Israelis — most of them civilians — and took over 200 hostages, the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy group that tracks antisemitism and extremism, has been keeping track of the alarming rise of antisemitic incidents.
“In 2020, over 100 #progressive organizations — including the #MovementForBlackLives, #DemocraticSocialists of America, and Center for Constitutional Rights — signed an open letter asking the progressive community to not partner with ADL because the group 'has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking #SocialJustice movements led by communities of color, #queer people, #immigrants, #Muslims, #Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with #police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence.' Now, ADL is targeting a new group of people: #ProgressiveJews.
“Israel’s indiscriminate massacre of civilians in Gaza — killing over 10,000 Palestinians so far in the densely populated Gaza Strip, including over 4,000 children — has led to the largest anti-war protests in the U.S. since the Iraq War, including a surge of renewed activism from progressive Jewish groups. Israel has bombed Gaza nonstop since the October 7 attack, ordered the relocation of over 1 million civilians, launched a ground invasion, and is blocking food, water, medical supplies, and fuel from making it into Gaza, triggering a #HumanitarianCrisis and leading to what legal scholars call a #genocide against #Palestinians.
"While the ADL told The Intercept that it does not consider the ceasefire protests 'antisemitic,' just 'anti-Israel,' its CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, has said otherwise. After several thousand Jews and their allies marched on the U.S. Capitol on October 18 calling for a ceasefire, ADL DC released a statement equating #antiZionism with antisemitism. Greenblatt piled on, calling the groups that organized the protest, including Jewish Voice for Peace, 'hate groups.'"

#AlexandriaOcasio-Cortez criticized the #NewYorkCity chapter of the #DemocraticSocialists for endorsing a Pro-Palestinian rally that displayed anti-semitic actions during the #Israel-#Hamas conflict. Meanwhile, #EricAdams voiced support for #Israel after #Hamas's massive attack, and members of "The Squad" face criticism for pushing for a ceasefire.
