At least the House *kinda* does. Johnson & Jefferies can't make their people vote a certain way, but they can banish them to fucking obscurity both in their committees and their offices, which *tends* to bring them in-line. Still, every generation you have an asshole who doesn't care, like Gaetz

Then, for fun, ask yourself if the NYPD has jurisdiction in Israel.

"probably isn't legal" is doing serious load bearing. Think, for just a second, about what the UN is, the number of treaties that are involved to A) have the UN headquarters in a country and B) to have world leaders feel safe enough they travel to said HQ

The Mayor of New York City doesn't have the power to wipe the state of Israel from the map? Wow. I didn’t know that. I just — you’re telling me now for the first time.

Odd, I was unaware NYC made ballots public. When was that passed?

This doesn't even touch on the fact that, (rounding up) 97% of the country doesn't live in NYC, and judging a municipal official when you don't live / work in their city is *pretty much all vibes*.
But that's what you get from the Vibes are Praxis, Actually wing of the party.

And it's not like he's had other comparable experiences in government to give you an idea of what he'd be like! He might be a poor mayor because his policies don't work, he might be a poor mayor because he can't work the system. Or he might be a good mayor for similarly unrelated reasons!

they don't have it as badly as any assault victim, but it's still *bad*.
We don't have to go "no actually the only bad thing is a non-tangible ideology that is tangentially related to the movement". Two things can be bad at the same time!

>the cultural excesses only seem bad insofar as they can be blame for the rise of a political force
I'd consider someone like Aziz (innocent on any charges of assault or abuse) facing consequences for assault & abuse as "bad".
It is a far rarer situation than someone actually being assaulted,

and, as a flip side, kneejerk anti-colonialism is our own vulnerability on the left, which is a big reason I push really hard for the inclusion of ex-neocons in our coalition. "freedom isn't worth fighting for if someone can cite a cultural tradition" is also toxic to the liberal project
