Showing Original Post only (View all)Marty Dolan for Congress (NY-14) ... "Rollin' with Dolan!" [View all]
He strikes me as someone who will take his job seriously and do the hard work for his constituents... rather than trying to feather his own nest or engage in performance-politics by opposing Democrats and sabotaging the Biden agenda. Dolan is a breath of fresh air. It sounds like he has an actual plan rather than a laundry-list of complaints. He's got is OWN ideas and won't be beholden to radical PACs and orgs that want to destroy/re-make the Democratic Party.
These are very exciting times! Many opportunities ahead! It will be interesting to watch!

I am excited to formally announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for New York's 14th Congressional District.
The June 25th, 2024 primary will be a referendum: are we better or worse off from following Radical policies?
We are all for the "progress" implied by the word Progressive. However, within the Progressive movement, there are Radicals whose influence on the Democratic Party is overweight.
The impact in NYC is obvious: bail reform a disaster, the National Guard in the subway, toothpaste locked up in drugstores but criminals running free, scarce resources directed to (non-sanctuary) immigrants coming from all over the world.
These difficulties must be addressed in the context of a runaway $34 trillion federal debt and NYC's 14% marginal tax rate. Regional tax inequality is far more exaggerated in the USA than in any other country. Losing 500,000 taxpayers is unsustainable: fixing this must be our overwhelming priority.
The Radicals can't deliver more than breadcrumbs when they ignore that the primary breadwinners are leaving and brush off taxpayer concerns in favor of abstract populist ideologies.
Enough is enough.
New Yorkers have seen it all, including scams like the Radicals offer. But we know better that New Yorkers want NYC to be the best city in the best country in the world.
We also urgently need to "reset" our society's income inequality and harmonize regional differences in social policy. We call our approach the 'Hamilton Plan v. 2.0' in honor of one of our greatest New Yorkers, Alexander Hamilton, who forged the independent colonies into a great republic.
Our founders left us the blueprint. E pluribus unum: of many, one.
We have just drifted off course.
Let us move forward together as one people.
Let us not wait another two years for the same result.
Let us reset on June 25th.
It is the honor of a lifetime to ask to represent you in this mission.

Actually, he seems rather sane, reasonable and normal to me... here in the center.

Nobody is "bashing" AOC. I'm supporting the candidacy and views of a Democrat.

Contrast and compare. A very reasonable and realistic assessment and characterization.

You don't think that's bashing? No, that is not being "reasonable". It's insulting our intelligence for you to claim

No-one's insulting you. We're saying you're promoting a right winger.

You seem unwilling to talk about the immigrant stance you quoted in the OP

It's funny how all those "reasonable centrists" seem to be going after immigrants.

Yes, "banker". It's in the title of the Bloomberg write-up that I quoted in #38
