"Today we witnessed a rejection of politics as usual, a rejection of the inhumane way we have been treating our unhoused neighbors, a rejection of the way our mayor has turned his back on labor," said Omar Fateh.

    That’s incredible!

    The real question is how many it will take before the democratic party will pay attention to it

    Edit: I misread, but still awesome news!

    Oh WOW! As a High Paid Democratic Strategist I have a LOT to Learn from this! Mainly that if we have MORE Billionaires backing us we’ll WIN Again! SOMEONE get Elon Musk on the phone!

      First result searching about this topic, shows he supported LGBTQ in the past. This comment feels a little judgy/biased, but I am giving the benefit of the doubt and providing info

      That’s incredibly racist dude. First, it’s a huge leap to make at all, and you did zero research before making it. Second, he was born in the US and has lived here his entire life. Yes, his parents are immigrants from Somalia, but he grew up here. He was born in DC, raised in Northern VA, and went to GMU. I’m sure he’s got pretty good values. By the sound of it, better than your racist ass.

          You’re racist for making assumptions about someone without putting in the bare minimum research based solely on their heritage. That’s literally what it means to be racist jackass. Either recognize that and stop or stop arguing that it isn’t racist and own that you’re a bigoted asshole.

          Also, for reference, I went to GMU and a housemate and good friend of mine was a bisexuality former Muslim Saudi who was actually born in Saudi Arabia and lived in Muslim countries for his early life.
