  • The P25 team is good at one thing: getting things done. Bad things, but they’re not sitting still. The entrenched Dems are not known for “doing”. Unless people get out there and oust some of these Dems, AOC style, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect much beyond their usual. Jeffries is even on Theil’s secret society membership list.

    I read, daily, looking for those bright sparks, and I’m not seeing any more Mamdani’s grabbing crowd attention, do you? The latest Dem to grab anyone’s attention is Platner.

    Who are they? Where are they?




  • The problem with voting to fund schools is it means voting to raise your own property taxes. This, when property taxes have skyrocketed in response to the housing market in the last 4 years. A relative had theirs go up from $2k to $3.8k since purchasing this decade. That is a lot, for working class. The same as a $150/mo rent increase in a situation that’s supposed to be escaping rent. And it goes up every year.

    Let’s be real about home ownership, most of working class that has a house still on mortgage is house poor. Meaning, they manage to pay the mortgage but can’t afford shit. Rice, beans, eggs. Rent is a max payment per month, mortgage is a minimum payment per month. Stuff breaks, problems happen, and maintenance to prevent more problems from starting is a constant money siphon.

    The fact that state and local lawmakers choose to fund schools on property tax initiatives is fucked up. The last couple in my area failed. Why? Everyone is already squeezed to death financially.

    For schools to be funded, lawmakers need to find another way. How are they funding everything else? Do that.
