Because, if you're in the U.S., it has become strikingly clear that we have a major education/bigotry problem and things don't typically get better when there's a critical level of stupid bigots in a society.

Orange pedo can stop breathing, and that'll be nice, but our issues extend so much further than that.

Hope mycodesucks and I are wrong.

    Mamdani is living proof it can improve locally. We just need more of his type to cover the US - which has always been true, local level is the grassroots that form the government. So there is a way, even within the system. It might take a while, but it can be within our lifetimes.

    You need an electorate with a certain average intelligence to elect someone like that when the opportunity comes up.

    Those with looser morals will more successfully convince the less intelligent they are right. Because they are willing and able to use fear, confusion and hate as tools, which hits a lot harder for the lizard brain than the intelligent brain.
