Considering our president is a convicted rapist, I don't think sexual harassment is a career killer anymore, unfortunately.
With some voters, it's clearly not, but it really IS with a lot of folks who lean more to the left.Considering our president is a convicted rapist, I don't think sexual harassment is a career killer anymore, unfortunately.
The risk is in thinking that voters want left wing extremism, when they really just want (more moderate?) left wingers who won't abuse people.I say let the narrative that people genuinely want what Mamdani is selling play out to its logical conclusion. What's the risk, that voters will just suddenly forget why they don't want to vote for Cuomo and do it anyway?

I want to make sure we actually win elections, first and foremost. If we push politicians that would do what we want, but they can't get elected, it does us no good.
I'm very much interested in your definition of left wing extremism. What positions do you think are so extreme that they deserve that title?The risk is in thinking that voters want left wing extremism, when they really just want (more moderate?) left wingers who won't abuse people.

Social media is part of the problem, but the issue started before social media became dominant. The term Moral Majority started being used in the 1970s and rose to prominence in the 1990s. Social media isn't the underlying cause, it just helped accelerate things.Social media allowing idiots to (wrongly) think they’re the majority and encase themselves in echo chambers is the real problem and not something the fairness doctrine would fix.
A lot of the ones you, specifically, have promoted tend to leave me thinking you'd be okay with active violence, although you've routinely denied it, so I'm not sure I can answer that question in a way that will be helpful. It's not that I don't believe you (that you don't actually support violence) so much as I don't think we use terms the same way, as we clearly don't understand each other.I'm very much interested in your definition of left wing extremism.
