Johannesburg has had at least 90 exclusively white mayors before that, but go on about a "less racialised politics".
Helen Zille could soon be the first white mayor of post-apartheid Johannesburg. Such a result could point to the beginnings of a less racialised politics economist.com/middle-east-an…
The MAGA tendencies are showing.

If she thinks this about the colonisers, then imagine what she thinks about the colonised. The inference to be drawn is that the genocide and dehumanisation has an upside.

The @Our_DA playbook in CT for the past 20 years: Sell all public land, make the majority homeless, criminalize homelessness, confiscate IDs and keep moving people further from opportunity, affordability and the area they know. Make sure they are unable to vote! Add more police!

If they cared for & were delivering to the majority, they wouldn’t be polling at 46% in Cape Town (from 58% in 2021)
Let’s do our democratic duty & encourage as many people, especially young people, to come out & vote on 04 November, asseblief tog 🙏🏾

There is no "progressive change" in what Helen offers, as both her history and her ideology show. That statement alone makes your case neither persuasive nor logical.

Our politicians that have been forever politicians are institutionalised in the same way as prisoners are. They cannot imagine politics outside of the same old tired talking points.
The old parties cannot bring new solutions.
I know who can though. @Rise_Mzansi can.
I think that @AdHabb has just endorsed @Rise_Mzansi !
A master class in electioneering. Acknowledge those that support you. You are applying to be a servant not a royal.
.@JamesTalarico calls volunteers to thank them for their work:
“I appreciate you, and am so grateful to be doing this with you” 💙
A #ProteaFire victory today would be the test match equivalent of the 438 (50 over) match. Believe!!!
In the end, will all our "favourites" continue to fail us so spectacularly? Not alright, not alright, not alright.
Best case scenario is that Neera is a GOP plant. Worst case scenario is unfathomably dire for American democracy and global stability.
Neera Tanden: "I made a horrible mistake in retweeting [Laura Loomer]... I looked at a comment of hers, and it was a mistake."
Me: "You know what the comment was about? "
Neera: "She had a video that she was showing of something."
Me: "It was about Hasan Piker, Neera."
Neera: "OK. Sure. There's a criticism."
Me: "I'm just wondering what you were thinking of when you did that."
Neera: "I mean, it was a mistake, I did it, like, very quickly."
Me: "Was it just: you saw Hasan Piker and went, 'I've got to retweet this'?"
