Problems With Liberal Democracy

[rnatalli]

I think the biggest fear many have is Mamdani’s policies will work. I’m not so sure, but will keep an open mind.

I think he’s out of his mind, and can’t believe he got any votes at all. He should also be removed from office for the list of people he doxxed alone. It has to be criminal.

You mean he personally doxed a bunch?
Or,


"AI Overview



New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration released a public, searchable database of property owners potentially subject to the state's new pied-à-terre tax on secondary luxury homes. While critics and figures like podcaster Scott Galloway accused the administration of "doxxing" wealthy homeowners by publishing names and addresses, City Hall stated that publishing property rolls is standard practice required under city law.

The data isn’t necessarily new, but the searchable database is, and imo certainly careless at the very least, and very potentially dangerous.
It’s also a ridiculous tax.
Are you saying that this database is the right thing to do?

No idea.
So, he didn't dox anyone, right?
I am pretty sure one can drive around in upper class neighborhoods, get an address and call the county recorder, who lives there. Not a secret.
That is how companies get names and correct addresses to send you junk or whatever by your name.

Don't need such a list to dox someone.

LOL as if the "conservatives" supporting the republicans aren't nuttier.

Walked back, or was never going to be a requirement? The only statement from Mamdani that I can find is one saying that ID would not be required. I'm on the fence as to the efficacy of this scheme. The idea is not unprecedented, so time will tell.

As food prices rise, Mamdani wants public grocery stores in New York. Can it work?

Experts say there’s plenty of precedent both in the US and abroad for state-supported food infrastructure

www.theguardian.com

And, while Mamdani may oppose voter ID requirements, the vast majority of the "liberal side of the curve" are not opposed - they just want it to be fair.

Voter ID

The Brennan Center supports commonsense voter ID rules, not requiring ID that many eligible Americans don’t have. We can improve the security of elections without compromising citizens’ right to participate.

There is a press conference with Mamdani where the question was asked about customer vetting. Mamdani stepped back from the podium to let someone from his administration answer you will need some form of ID.

Saw is on 'Nate the Lawyer' Y/T channel.

So they are indeed walking it back.
