    YEP

    1. He supports a one-state solution in Israel (not that a mayor should have a to answer this question, but here we are)
    2. He will arrest Netanyahu if he enters New York
    3. He talks about splitting emergency services into multiple disciplines to handle things like mental health crisis. This is straight from the Defund Police platform.

    On these issues, he’s to the left of 99% of politicians in the US.

    Even if the ONLY thing he accomplishes as mayor is free transportation in New York, that’s infinitely better than an Adams or Cuomo term. I have a feeling he’ll accomplish a hell of a lot more if people actually organize around him. We have a unique opportunity to support a socialist in the largest, most expensive US city. Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress.
