    The policy literally central to the campaign of the candidate being called into question, which won’t be implemented if they aren’t elected, is a strawman? Lol

    I’d say you’re acting like a Democrat, but in all honestly I’ve rarely seen Democrats fight so hard against a rent freeze as I’ve seen some of the anti-electoral so-called socialists, who seem absolutely insistent that we allow private landlords to raise rents on literally millions of working class New Yorkers.

        Wow you leftists really love Israel! I never knew you hated starving Palestinians so much that you’d fight against somebody saying Israel is committing a genocide, that aid must be delivered to Gaza, that Netanyahu would be arrested if he stepped foot in his city, and that Israel fundamentally can not be allowed to exist as a Jewish supremacist apartheid state.

        Yes! Yet again, another great point. Zohran and Kamala are completely comparable! History will absolutely remember you as the most principled leftist, and one who can totally discern the difference between when something that realistically helps the working class is actually on offer, or if nothing at all is actually on offer!

            So true. Waiter! Waiter! $10 billion more dollars to the local landlord class please! The most intelligent online leftist told me it will not realistically empower them and decrease parity with the working class any more than currently stands!

                I’m literally not wrong here. You dweebs only think I’m wrong because you incorrectly assume that I’m an electoralism dead-ender.

                Please ignore all of the hard work other leftists put in to this electoral campaign and sit on your ass on a Tuesday afternoon instead of like, actually getting the chance to do layup praxis and freeze the rent for millions of your fellow proletarians at absolutely zero cost to you

                    You can’t actually believe that a rent freeze is even a remote possibility if Zohran wins, can you?

                    The rent was frozen multiple times in the past decade, so no I do not believe it’s a possibility, I know it is an inevitability should Zohran be elected.

                    I also believe it’s an inevitability because I know how the Rent Guidelines Board works. Do you? Because if you did you wouldn’t be saying that. Even Eric Adams RGB voted only 5-4 in favor of raising the rent, and the mayor gets to appoint one member immediately to serve at will.

                    That balance is in favor of a rent freeze on day one of a Zohran administration.

                    So do you just go around making up critique about all leftists without actually having a baseline of understanding of the situation you are speaking on? Maybe go try r/politics
