The day after Donald Trump's inauguration, the mayor of this northeastern blue city defied progressives with a bid to reclaim her streets from hordes of homeless zombified drug addicts.
The “war on drugs” started in 1971 and “get tough on crime” had been an agenda in the USA my whole life and did it work? It didnt. Destroying social safety nets and erroding workers rights have done more to create and maintain the homeless drug addicted population than anything else.
Militarized police and for-profit prison industry have not made our streets safer over the last 50 years, how dumb are people to think “well it hasn’t worked yet, let’s do it more!”
Well looks like that mayor disagrees with you and chose a different approach. And she’s a Democrat. More Democrats will see it and then they’ll adapt. So you better prepare for your coming annoyance. The Republicans don’t support you. And now more and more Democrats don’t either.
Hmmm, if only there were a third-party option. But nah, why change the status quo, right?
Looks like worshiping the duopoly hasn’t really worked out for ya’ll. Oh well.
