#FrancescaHong: “Our Movement Is Strong, and the Work Isn’t Done”
More than 300,000 Wisconsin voters backed a democratic socialist’s gubernatorial bid. That’s the measure of the strength of a new kind of politics.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/francesca-hong-wisconsin-election-aftermath/
[a welcome antidote to the disorienting horseshit from the NYT.]
…Hong practiced an old-school version of #Wisconsin #Democratic politics—recognizing the importance of building a coalition rooted in the progressive heartlands of Madison, the diverse precincts of Milwaukee, and the rural regions that #Democrats have so frequently neglected. […]Hong did something that is so rare in politics that it confused many of the national reporters who began following her as her campaign as it surged in the polls: She engaged in real conversations with Wisconsinites, joking with them, showing off her Milwaukee Bucks tattoo, and paying close attention when they talked about things like their concerns about #AI #DataCenters
Oh man, did you really think hes the reason socialism is taking off? The guy who spends 8 hours a day reading Twitter and can’t find Syria on a map???
LOL, you fell for a clipchimp. It was Yemen, not Syria. Good job, you played right into the misinfo hands with the most basic trick in the book. Let me guess, you also think he hates black people too?
Oh no not the “missing context”!!! I’ve watched hours of this guy. He’s a moron
