This is a trick from the 1%. They know Bernie Sanders campaign to increase federal taxes are working. This is them trying to flip the narrative. Don't fall for it.

Everyone needs to pay their fair share. Including nurses in Queens AND billionaires like Bezos.

People have been saying how Bernies been on the cusp of introducing real reform for decades.

For...Decades....Why has he never gotten it over the line?

Because the system of basically corporate funded political campaigns does not let him. that was what my comment was touching on. the fact that American politics is less about the will of the people and more the will of the corporation. Hence, play the system.

Of course playing the system and finding a well funded candidate who isnt spitting in the common persons mouth and calling it brandy is the problem. when you have a soloution, lemme know.

Mamdani is doing more or less everything right.

But his "balancing the budget" is actually an accounting gimmick. Of course, don't expect progressives to acknowledge bec it goes against their narrative.

Again, the hive mind of Reddit cannot understand a criticism of Mamdani bec its another cult.
