Last time I checked, he was polling around the Mendoza Line with NYC voters.
He's likely not going to be mayor a year from now.

I find it quite interesting how almost all the Jewish people I knew minus one who was very anti Gaza have remained silent today. I’m not going to push it but if they ever say anything to me in the future I got bars for them.
Nazism, even though I’m not Jewish, hits close to home because I lost a lot of family due to them in WW2. Anyone who is complacent with them is dead to me and automatically a racist period. For those that don’t know, Polish people were looked down upon as laves and lesser people to the Nazi Germans. Seeing Jewish people being passive on the symbolism right now after what happened to them and how many Catholic Poles risked their lives to protect them during the war is a spit in the face of all the people who suffered during that 6 year period in Europe.

Make sure you balance staying informed on current events and managing your mental health. Right now we're bombarded with depressing, frustrating and angering news and being exposed to that much negativity takes the wind and will out of anyone.
I can't tell you not to worry, because that is very rational and reasonable right now, but I'm trying to enforce media breaks myself, otherwise I go bonkers.
I'm following this ish-show from Europe, where some people are still struggling with understanding the seriousness of this all.

Word…now they don’t have to hide it now. Now they can post vids of their luxury trips with billionaires.
This is aligned with the administration’s position. Can’t believe people convinced themselves otherwise.
Dis *****.
Man been living it up on the Turkish dime and talking bout the party left the working class. This **** is bananas. If he’s not locked up somewhere, he’ll be running for some office as a Republican soon.

It’s always mind blowing to watch folks benefit from Black Americans efforts during the Civil Rights Movement and think that fighting to be white adjacent or above Black people in the US will save them.

Can we get the camera angle from behind him? The potus has spent months, if not years, quoting hitler. I’d be surprised if at least a few people in attendance didn’t do it back.

Coworker just told me he is excited that the streets are going to be “cleaned up as of tomorrow” 
I'll prefece this by saying I agree with you ideologically and the protest voters piss me off as much as anyone. But this is just too broad and takes out any context and nuance which all matter.
Who you're protesting to matters. Maybe not ideologically but in reality it does. The Biden admin and Dems were always going to let people protest, it's a right after all. On the other side, we have the most extreme admin most of us have ever seen or will ever see and theyve made their opinion on protestors very clear and how willing they are to use violence to crackdown and they've made their intentions in Gaza very, very clear. Even kids inherently understand this. We all had certain parents or grandparents or whoever who we knew we could try to reason with or even finesse if we got on some b******* but theres always others that you know not to mess with cause they're going to whoop your *** no matter what you say or do. Of course there are some people that are willing to bleed or get jailed or even die for the cause but that's rare.
That brings me to my next point. You're comparing it to all of these historical protests that were almost all domestic and very tactile and very close to home. People protesting themselves, their family, friends, or communities getting violently denied their rights or getting drafted to go die in the jungle, they experienced it first hand. Compared to something happening on the other side of the globe which most people have far less connection to people are always going to have more energy and conviction when it's personal. It's not ideal but it's human nature. We all do it. Like i can guarantee just about all of us feel more connection to and have stronger feelings about labor here being exploited than overseas labor or flints water situation versus what the US has done to the environments all over south America and the Pacific islands even though we recognize all of its bad.
Like I said, I agree with you if we're talking ideology but to completely strip out the human element of it is unrealistic
