And here's why all you people need to move to deep blue jurisdictions:

Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses, The Post has learned.

In its most recent platform, the group blasts policing and detention as “instruments of class war” designed to “guarantee the domination of the working class” — and demands an end what it calls “the criminalization of working-class survival.”

“For all of the working class to achieve collective liberation we must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state — from prisons and police themselves, to their manifestations in all forms throughout society,” according to the national party’s latest platform, adopted in 2021.

The DSA website itself says

End the criminalization of working-class survival
End all misdemeanor offenses, accounting for 80% of total court dockets, reduce jail churn by reducing arrests, and cut funding to prosecutor’s oﬃces
End all ﬁnes and fees associated with the criminal legal process, including ticketing, cash bail, court costs, and parole and probation fees
Abolish all asset forfeiture programs and laws
End mandatory arrest and failure to protect laws that lead to the criminalization of survivors of gendered violence; grant clemency to criminalized survivors

Yeah, that'll work.

This is your party today.

Move to a blue city and experience this stuff for yourself. As I said, you'll be a Reaganite in 5 minutes.
