Sewer socialism is what this country fucking needs. Sustainability requires more people living in dense cities but most cities in the US fucking suck, I lived in Denver CO for a few years and it was disgusting. All the parks were filled with trash, all the public transit was over crowded, trash service was inconsistent. Also I get reactionaries like demonizing the unhoused but I think we should be honest about the fact that living in a city with a big unhoused population is very unpleasant, it’s not nice having to see people with clear mental health and substance abuse issues all over the sidewalk every time you go to grab a six pack from the corner store.
More leftist candidates could win just by running on forming some kind of “urban beautification corps” where they pay 20 somethings to clean shit up and build homeless shelters and other stuff so people don’t have to see fucking McDonalds bags full of puke every time they walk their dog.
So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Sewer socialism is the compromise.
