Democratic Socialists get things done. Pro-business, less red tape.

Wonderful to hear. I've been advocating for that ( as a flaming progressive ) for years. Small business has every reason to align with the left, if only smart folks on the left don't lump them in with 'big' business, which is a threat to us all.

A lot of red tape was put in specifically to harm small business so going after it is a great move. Sure a lot of small business types think of themselves as billionaires to be, but a lot are just people following their dream to work with what they love, and we should help them.

And then of course NY land lords are now trying to sue him over his rent freeze. I hope he wins every case they try to throw at him. NY has a bright future ahead!

Do you think Dems could benefit from calling them Democrats, rather than Socialists, Communists, Democratic Socialists, Progressives, etc? People do not know the definition of those terms, and tend to be scared off by them.

‘Establishment’ Dems want voters to think that ‘socialist’ and ‘progressive’ are dirty words. If too many people embrace those, the establishment would lose the support of their billionaire donors.

The media/politicians use “Red Tape” to describe both rules to protect consumers and rules that are archaic, redundant or duplicated. Generally Conservatives want to get rid of the former and everyone else the latter. Mandami dumped the latter.

I looked it up, what rules he is changing and it looks like a good thing. But you must allways be wary if people say things like less rules are allways better. Rules are often, not allways, protection from greed.

Maybe most, but not all. Definitely this distorted framing is promoted by the oligarchs and assumed by many Americans. Republicans are factually terrible for the economy, workers and small businesses in general

I can’t deny that the corporate tax cuts were maybe helpful to all businesses, despite 1 million children getting starved and employees stressed out over cost of living. Just like average Americans, small businesses get squeezed because the oligarchs don’t want to pay a fair share

Socialism it's in the name 'Social' 'Community' Strange Republicans Conservatives Hate Big Government until it Comes to Sharing with the Social Community, Republicans Conservatives Love Your Money in Their Pockets Not Your Communities! There is NEVER Enough Money to Fund Your Children Your Health

Listen up! I've been a democratic socialist for longer than most of those promoting it have been alive, but you guys have got to stop promoting your faction as some kind of movement & get in the fight against republicanism. If "Democratic Party" doesn't say enough to suit you...

...you need some education. Let's do democracy first, then you may push the "socialist" part. WHY do so many self described progressives believe the road to progress is through revolution, and why don't they JOIN with Democrats, instead of fighting with them?

Nazi's & Zionist Jews are on opposite sides of the universe, but they joined with the disparate groups of old-line Republicans, shootists, anti-choice nuts and the like & put a Nazi megalomaniac in the White House twice. Learn by example.

Not all red tape is pointless. Sometimes, if it seems that way, it's because you don't understand the "why" of why it exists. Piss off low and mid-level bureaucrats who understand and (perhaps excessively) have embraced the "why" and you're setting yourself up for retaliation in the future.

Why is this not a bigger deal? I don’t see this on any news channels. Didn’t see it in any papers! Just a blip in a post on a social media platform. It’s great news, but not a good thing for republicans and since they control the media now we won’t see the good stuff. 💁🏻‍♂️
