They post it like it's a bad thing

This is just a list of reasons why you should vote for her
Probably would love to have her elected, then they can piss and moan about how horrible everything is and blame her
Unironically, yes, they can’t govern and are sick of it, they have much more fun and get much higher ratings when they’re in opposition and not in control.
Literally just pro China propaganda, they are doing exactly what they did in Minnesota and California, they are funneling your tax dollars to foreign anti-American bad actors.
And the data center thing wether you agree or not is still bad for America AI competitiveness making it good for China.
No such thing as a free lunch literally they can call it whatever they want but it is actually for advancing China Interests.
“Far left”. lol
I wonder what they would say if a candidate proposed the elimination of money.
Where do I sign up?
Wisconsin
Unfortunately, I don’t live in Wisconsin, I live in California
Fortunately* you don't live in Wisconsin.
Born and raised there; a DSA governor is a fucking fantastic step in the right direction. I'll mention her to my family but...
Wisconsin is the south of the north. I regularly drove past a Confederate flag. Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the US (or was, havent checked recently) and the GOP leans into that with a lot of ugly rhetoric.
This article is getting a little long in the tooth but is a quality deep dive into some of the very thinly veiled (or outright) systemic racism in Wisconsin.
Also; rural Grindr made me sad for queer men raised in that environment, including myself.
I just wanted to know that your last statement brought me a bit of comfort today, thank you. I've been feeling a bit isolated here, since, well, ever, but was never able to make it out yet :/ I'm not that rural, but anywhere outside of Milwaukee or Madison is pretty bleak.
Sums it up pretty well
They didn't even bother to find a diadvantegous picture of her.
Faux News, what is becoming of you? :smh:
They didn't even bother to find a diadvantegous picture of her.
What do you mean, we showed she's not white ~fox news
I'm beginning to wonder if someone more left leaning has infiltrated fox. The boss say "put together a hit piece on the demonrat", "sure thing boss" says our mole, before turning over this graphic. To the boss it look great, surely no one could support this! To everyone less poisoned, it looks a lot more enticing.
It's always funny when Fox puts up radical left wing policies like taxing billionaires and supporting families and then have to scramble to take them down because even Fox viewers read them and think they sound like a good idea.
Yeah and maybe they start wondering why their "side" is against things that help people
Yes! I've been thinking the same thing. This was posted yesterday, and the lurker part of my brain said "surely someone else has already had this idea". So I checked all the comments, but it wasn't there. Then the lurker said "they'll say it soon, and in better words". And it was right!
Anyway, thanks!
I'm not sure it's even possible to frame this list in a bad light? those are all unambiguously excellent things
$20 an hour minimum wage is garbage, it should be much higher.
It's an excellent step up from 7.50 though.
25 should be bare minimum these days. Most people should be making at least 30+.
In Wisconsin it isn't. Sure you're not going to buy a house in Madison with it, but you'll be fine in most of the state.
It still can be sold as a bad thing to those who think like iT's BetTEr tO hAvE a BaD jOB thAN NO jOb.
Peg it to inflation once and for all
Radical left now just means "anybody"
When you are so far right, everyone is far left.
That said, US politics is so bad that this platform is legitimately further left than like 95% of electeds. If this candidate is a Democrat it's likely that her own party will favor a candidate to her right in primary and if she beats them, possibly still not throw their weight behind her in the general.
Remember that the leader of the Democratic party is basically a domestic spokesperson for Israel and refuses to acknowledge support the most popular politician in his own party.
"this radical extremist will actually do something for you instead if taking money from the rich and keeping it like it is (trickle up economics)"
So strange. People whine they want change however use the word radical and it’s seen as a bad thing.
yeah, I dont care anymore. if you can't tell me why its bad without screaming labels you and your bubble brew up I honestly dont care.
Stop describing it as a "tax hike"... we want to restore fair taxation after decades of irresponsible tax breaks.
Yeah our country has taxes too low to provide necessary services. Like across the board. Yes, we spend too much on cops, prisons, and war, but we have needs and uncontroversial wants that we can't fund without higher taxes or ever increasing debt.
That's Fox, they're their hardest to make it sound bad.
Oh, I thought this was satire
It is, but not on purpose
She could not get better advertising.
$20 Minimum wage and NO Data Centers? How DARE she INFRINGE on my FREEDOM!
-Poisoned Republicans on Welfare making Rainbow Flags ILLEGAL!
Lol she reposted it herself on socials with no changes
"Endorsed by Fox News!"
This is strong 'Don't threaten me with a good time' energy.
She wants to implement free child care? What a monster! HIGHER minimum wage?! What the actual fuck?! Who wants more money?
I already make $20 an hour, so if the burger flippers do too, then I might as well not have my better job!
- Some fucking idiot in WI right now, unironically
And literally none of that is far-left, of course
How is publicly-owned grocery stores not far left? That's literal socialism.
Some other literal socialist institutions that are far left:
- libraries
- parks
- postal service
- public universities
- museums
- hospitals
- healthcare
- the military
This isn't a far-left policy. This is FDR Democrats.
The postal service has been turned into a junk mail distribution system and there is nothing citizens can do to stop it. It's infuriating.
Oh and do not be fooled into paying $8 to $9 to companies claiming they can stop the junk mail, that's a HUGE SCAM.
The postal service is still very functional and handles way more than just junk mail.
The one thing you CAN do, and it's FREE is to place a FREE freeze on your credit file with the following: Experian Equifax Transunion Chexsystems Lexisnexis
These leeches are required by law to provide a free method to freeze access to your credit file. They don't make it easy to find, and bury it under their paid "premium" offers, usually in a plain-text link at the bottom of the page.
Once you do this, those pre-approved credit cards will stop cold. This will increase your credit score every month, as each one is a "soft inquiry" on your file, costing you thousands over time in higher interest rates, denied credit, and denied leases/rental. It also helps slow down identity theft.
Do this for your kids' social security numbers as well. Those are prime for theft.
Holy shit, that explains why my wife gets so many and I never do.
IMHO this makes more a case for socialism than it demonstrates that these things are not socialist.
My issue is the classification of these particular items being far-left is a failure of what the far-left. Depending on what you consider socialism, this would be it or a conciliation to the ruling class.
Is it still socialism if private ones are allowed to exist as well?
Then it's still a socialist policy, just not 100% immediately.
It's not far-left because it does not restrict a citizen's own right to run a for-profit grocery store. She only wants the state to run its own grocery stores. I hope I'm wording this right.
This is the most satisfying answer, thank you.
Depending on one's definition, as the store being owned by the government is still having a state apparatus which isn't anarchism or communism
"Tax hike on the rich" sounds offensive, I much prefer "forced wealth redistribution or decapitation" personally
Conservative voters have been trained to dislike things that are good for them. That's why many Republican controlled areas of this country are almost indistinguishable from 3rd world countries.
The really sinister part is seeing that even some “liberal” Americans have the seeds of conservatism planted in their viewpoints. These are the centrists that tend to say one thing but act out a different way. The brainwashing is deep.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine has been able to control the political messaging in this country for decades, and some of their messages have become standard belief, like the concept that everything the government does is ALWAYS incompetent and wasteful, and that simply isn't true. MOST of what the government does is very effective.
The government is an enormous bureaucracy, and if you root around enough, you'll find issues, but overall, it does a pretty amazing job, when responsible people are managing it.
We need to challenge these standard beliefs that have become dogma, like Dem are bad for the economy (when ALL studies prove that it's MAGA), Socialism is terrible (when many of the best things in America are Socialist, and it still offers better outcomes than whatever we are doing now), etc., and start moving in the direction that we have been so carefully directed away from.
We can't raise the minimum wage! Think of the poor shareholders at Walmart paying my salary! They can't afford $2 more an hour AND a summer home in the Hamptons. Fuckin libtard
Her name's Francesca, not Francesa.
It doesn't matter, The people who watch Focks Nooz wouldn't vote for a non-red candidate even if the red candidate said they will literally come and burn down your house if you vote for them.
Thanks for the advertisment, FOX News!
Politician called "far-left".
Expectation: Installation of an egomaniac dictator, which will lead to cult of personality, crackdown on speech and expression based on said dictator's feelings, and installing loyalist to key positions.
Reality: Bare minimum policies.
Result: Hammered relentlessly by lefties until her opponent wins.
"BUT how would be pay for all of that ???" Which, not surprisingly, doesn't ever get asked when the DOD's budget gets increased annually.
Yeah, that used to work, until they learned to say "We'll just take it from the billionaires," and everyone said "Okay, that's perfectly acceptable."
Now all they can do is scream "SOCIALISM!" and people are starting to think THAT sounds pretty good, too.
They're losing their rhetorical weapons quickly, and that arsenal was pretty low to begin with.
Or some dumb cage that gets built behind the white house, which itself is a mess
How do we pay for an army of ICE goons ?
Free advertisement! lmao
Imagine reading that and thinking they are bad ideas.
they are if you like hoarding literally ALL the money.
Sounds like she's just copying Mamdani. So, good
I thought right-wing television shows were against showing porn.
It's porn for us, snuff films for the average fucks nooz viewer
none of that is bad no matter how you frame it
The horror! OMG the horror. Anyway, let's try it as an experimental effort to demonstrate just how much harm socialism does to actual people. That'll teach 'em..............
- Governor - gubernatorial
- Moon - lunar
- Brother - fraternal
- Eye - ocular
At what point does English admit it made an absolute mess of word forms, borrowing them randomly from different places?
I kinda like it, English is a language based on vibes and theft. It's not here to make sense.
English is a language that waits in a dark alley, knocks out other languages as they pass, then root through their pockets for loose grammar.
A perfect option for global communications :D
It's the Fr*nch.
They've ruined everything with their white flags, great wines and reasonable pension age.
Also Romans. But like, hey, fix that damn thing, the language is borderline broken :D
Plenty of us use simplified variants of spoken english. It's the lawyers and whatnot that cause this shit to remain relevant.
Next they condemn public restrooms.
I condemn the people that use the public restroom before me.
I'd really like to know how there is a shit stain on the ceiling. It's as impressive as it is gross.
That is a strong set of policies. Too bad there's nothing about the current housing crisis, like disposessing slumlords to turn the properties into subsidised housing or giving renters the option to buy, but still strong.
Copied and pasted from Francesca Hong's policy platform page: We’re going to make sure nobody goes to sleep cold, and that renter protections are consistently enforced. As governor, Rep. Hong will use her executive authority to bolster rental unit regulations, pursue aggressive regulation of slumlords and serial housing-law violators, and make it easier for tenants to flag issues and find support.
Ctrl+F for "housing" here: https://francescahong.com/policy/
It was just an offhand comment, but damn, that's a pretty comprehensive platform. I'd vote for her if she was mine to vote for.
Oh, snap! She had it up her sleeve all along!
The fox people couldn't figure out how to fit those things on the bullet list
Clearly!
Alternate Headline: Beautiful flower attempts to grow within a pile of shit.
Fox tells them it's bad, they're brainwashed into thinking everything fox tells them is truth. A normal functioning brain would see how those policies would benefit society...
(Fox needs to have a disclaimer on all their bullshit that says they are legally required to say this is opinion and not news, as well as quoting their lawyer when he said something like "no one actually believes any of this")
Bold of you to assume they have brains
Looks like they know their base is so stupid they can make them hate good things just by saying it’s left. They used to hide it better.
Also there’s the possibility it’s a plant and this is reverse psychology. I dont know this person and i trust no one now. They’ve done that enough times i wouldn’t be surprised.
that reminds me of that Obama Skit on Key and Peele where Obama just listed republican talking points and the republicans couldn't help but disagree with them because it was being proposed by a liberal.
I don’t they realize just how anti-data center Americans of all political stripes have become.
They did this exact thing to AOC's Green New Deal when she introduced it, and I couldn't comprehend how people could read it as a bad thing (at least those who weren't top 1%ers wanting to evade taxes).
It's like it's free advertising? 😅
Who looks at that and doesn't want that? The people who own FOX ok gotcha.
You know, this guy ^
and none of it will matter because wisconsin is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country, all but a guarantee that republicants will remain in control of the state assembly and none of a democrat governor's platform will see the light of day.
The new district maps might change that though. Time will tell of course
Oh shit. I'm in Wisconsin and didn't know who was running to replace Evers. I knew he was retiring. Thanks for this, now I know I'm voting for her.
You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you'll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can't go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won't be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn't it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don't have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can "invest" all of their wealth. Doesn't that sound much better? Think mate!
To be fair, Wisconsin doesn't really have an issue with water supply. We are right next to the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet.
Never heard of Fransesca Hong before. Not sure what office she's running for, but I hope she wins!
it says there, wisconsin governor
Welp. So it does.
Google: Can I have dimentia at age 42?
Totally missed that.
It's worse than we thought, they don't even remember their own user name...
If I run for president or governor of California, I will implement the same “far left” policies
I'd love it if she won. I can't think of a faster way to ensure that MAGA shitstain Tom Tiffany is the next governor of Wisconsin than for her to win the nomination, though. WI isn't California or New York, even if it is all bullshit there is just too much red meat for the MAGAt puppetmasters to seize upon to vilify her and whip the dullards up into a blood frenzy, even if it is in their own's heads.
Funny how in the sh*thole called the USA those things are considered far-left when in other countries those would be center/center-left views lol
United Shitholes of America
If they don't want social programs then they need to pay enough that we can buy those things. But they don't want that either. Sooooo...they just want us to not consume resources and die?
Literally yes, that's exactly what they want
So genocide. Do we not have a right to defend our lives, then? If not, why support this system of rules at all?
I hate the modern world.
The US is not the modern world.
Prediction markets are not a US only phenomenon
You miss my point;Betting apps are awful.
Did she win? It feels like all the big money candidates keep winning. In Colorado I keep bookmarking the nobodies with policies like this. But I don’t know if a lot of Americans are voting for the little money candidates.
But honestly I think theres a farts chance this election this year changes much. People don’t like it but its gonna take blood to change things. Were just not brave enough to unite and take the risk. Isnt it so sad? A bunch of creative minds in this country write about rebellions, heros, and millions read them. But they’re just fiction. No ones ready to be the hero and die. Because thats what history tells us. All the heroes were murdered by our government one by one.
Did she win
The only two items that could even possibly be a negative to certain people are the last two. And only to rich fucks who also might wanna build data centers.
Fuck yeah!
Based!
