NYC - man in the corner shop - 11-05-2025
Does the right thing and elects Mamdani. The place that I have spent most time in when not at home. Optimistic for my family and friends there.
Dems did well elsewhere too.
Slightly lifts the gloom of Trump and Starmer. Only Slightly.

With Reform losing in Wales last week and now this there is optimism that hopefully right wing populism is finally being rejected.

Hopefully the backlash is building. The biggest problem on both sides of the Atlantic is that the opposition is too amorphous, it requires a strong figurehead and, in this day and age, easily digestible slogans and slick social media campaigning.

We always have to be ready to fight fascists. They are skulking in every cesspit and never go away.
If it takes a voice then shout the truth
If it takes a hand then hold them back
If it takes a fist then smash them down
From Cable Street to Hoyerswerda
Farage, Wilders and Le Pen -
This is Free Europe!
Never again

Look at all the spare money these billionaires had lying around they could spend on trying to subvert democracy. Tell me again why a wealth tax wouldn't work?
