Yes, I do. There is a reason that trump won and it’s not JUST racism and sexism. He speaks to those that know that the 2 party system is rigged and needs a change. His change is more grifting for his buddies, but his message was ‘outsider changing the system.’
Think about why so many 2016 Bernie bros had trump as their number 2 pick. How many of AOC supporters also voted for trump in 2024? She asked her voters because she wanted to know. It seemed like the same answer Bernie told the dnc.
They have abandoned the working class. That includes repubs. The working class knows the system is rigged and wants a change. Not everyone in the working class knows what the change looks like, but they know the system isn’t working for them.
No? They won’t need to. Did Mamdani pay off the deficit in NYC by raising taxes or did he just make some of the rich pay some of their fair share? Taxing second homes and what not. I’ll give you a hint. It’s the latter.
After inheriting a $12 billion gap in the budget…while critics claimed the only possible way to balance NYC’s budget would be to raise property taxes or slash city services, his team “rejected that idea” and still managed to bring the deficit down to zero. “We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people,” Mamdani said in the video’s caption. “We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.”
State lawmakers on Wednesday passed the tax on nonprimary residences in order to help close the city’s budget gap. The so-called pied-a-terre tax will be imposed on second homes valued at $1 million or more. It’s expected to raise $500 million in revenue.

There is a solution to this problem but you have to separate those 2 statements. Raise taxes on ALL those data centers that are eating up their water and raising the prices on all their electricity usage. Texans probably don’t like paying for those free loading businesses. If they don’t pay their fair share then they can leave.
You know look after the WORKING CLASS and not let the news confuse you into thinking that raising taxes on businesses make it HARDER for the working class. Or is somehow hurting them. Maybe learn more about history.
Business always lie and tell their workers to vote against their own interests because the businesses would have to pay more taxes. They say that’s why we can’t give you a raise. They ain’t giving it anyway. They are using the roads and not paying taxes to fix them. Texans are. Texans won’t like that, but wait that’s what is happening.
Maybe coming at this from a different angle might work in Texas. Idk. I hope Talarico can connect better than others tried.
Overall the problem is where the tax money goes. I think every party can agree with that. If you tax people for one thing then it should go to cover that thing, like roads or electricity or whatever. If you tax all these data center and then move the money into a fund to no bid contract for your buddy then we still have the same problems. There needs to be some sort of public over site on where the taxes actually go instead of a pot of money that gets abused. Politicians have mentioned it before. It isn’t new.
Talarico is from Texas. He better know how Texans feel about raising taxes. Make a mistake and he will lose and with it the chance for Democrats to gain control of the Senate and stop Trump’s agenda.
Such as those of Mamdani. You really think such policies would appeal to Texans?
Why not? But there are more registered Democrats in Texas than there are Republicans. So something strange is happening in Texas voting.
Mamdani ran on rent, buses, and childcare. These seem like policies that would appeal to people in Texas.

Do you think Texans would want to pay higher taxes? That’s necessary to pay for Mamdani’s programs.
No? They won’t need to. Did Mamdani pay off the deficit in NYC by raising taxes or did he just make some of the rich pay some of their fair share? Taxing second homes and what not. I’ll give you a hint. It’s the latter.

I know it seems crazy to have politicians actually work for the working class but this is what it is supposed to look like.
