there needs to be a red line, choose a line whatever you decide. but always saying it may get worse, means you have no line. for most people homeless shelters is a red line

For a politician to deliberately retaliate against a community for not voting for him is 100% illegal and stop this fear mongering tactic if we win we win if we lose it will only make them have more respect for us and take our concerns more seriously I believe in accountability over access!

In reply to Not backed up by facts. Look at what happened in Los Angeles. DSA votes from the homeless.

In reply to This is just stupid.

No one is saying vote for the incumbent just to please him (though that is how politics works in general. )
It’s that running a candidate with no experience or platform, who won’t win the votes of the vast (non-Jewish) majority of the residents in the district, signals to the DSA that they can run with someone next year and win. We can tip a decent candidate to victory – but if a strong campaign with the energy and get-out-the vote power of the DSA – comes in then we’re in danger of being represented by someone who literally will hate us.

In reply to More homeless shelters, more DSA voters.

Totally baseless and untrue.
Only 10% of those who are currently homeless vote. Most homeless people don’t vote DSA – in fact DSA over indexes with college educated and affluent (upper middle class) voters…

Use facts. Not fear

Cunningham is bringing in all the homeless shelters which are DSA voters (like what JUST happened in LA during the Mayoral election)

Maybe if a Jewish candidate (Ahron Gluck) from the community wins, he can stop some shelters which will limit the DSA voters so this hypothetical scenario can’t happen.

Not to mention all the large new buildings going up in the yuppie parts of the district that Cunningham supports, they are also DSA voters.

Vote Gluck because Cunningham is turning our neighborhood into a homeless shelter HQ

The idea that you vote for someone to please them is just wrong, you vote because want change and believe in person you’re voting for.

The one we currently have is not doing the best for us, so someone is standing up to fight against him and be the change. Telling the community that we shouldn’t vote for him because he’ll split the vote is outrageous. The community should vote for the one thats right, you’ll never appease anyone by voting for them.

Whether Ahron Gluck wins or loses, the growing support for his campaign should tell us something. Many people feel that their concerns haven’t been adequately addressed. Dismissing those voters or trying to scare them into supporting the status quo only reinforces the feeling that they’re not being heard.

This argument gets used every election cycle: vote for the incumbent or risk losing access and influence. That’s not how representation is supposed to work. Elected officials work for the people, not the other way around.

No community should feel obligated to support a politician out of fear that they’ll “turn against us” if challenged. If an incumbent has done a good job, they should be able to earn votes based on their record. And if voters believe someone like Ahron Gluck would better represent their concerns, they should be free to vote that way without being told they’re putting the community at risk.

A healthy democracy isn’t built on fear, it’s built on accountability and competition.
