Fateh was born in Washington, D.C., and is the son of immigrants from Somalia. He graduated from Falls Church High School and earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from George Mason University.
Wow, yeah “Kate” you are onto something. There is something fishy going on here. He is… (reads about him for 10 seconds) very black indeed. Of course.
Fucking people.
Signed, white guy with way too many relatives who would agree with smiling racist lady.
And by "born" we mean white.
Look at me, I am the mayor now
I really don't like to poke fun at people's appearance. But also, yeah...
tbf Somalis have a very distinct look to them, kinda like India in some parts. I got some khazak friends who all look like Genkhis Khan, I shit you not lol There are certain regions where you can just spot that they are from there, and this mayoral candidate and the actor are both of somalian origin
Made my morning, good genuine laugh
He looks like an absolute badass
They really chose the worst photo to make him look bad.
Fateh's higher education bill included tuition-free public colleges and universities and tribal colleges for students from families whose income is less than $80,000 a year.[18] It also included an increase to Hunger Free Campus grants,[19]emergency assistance grants.[20]
Fateh was the chief Senate author of a bill to provide minimum wages and worker protections for drivers for rideshare companies such as Uberand Lyft.
Damn, he’s a good lookin dude in your picture, he looks insane in OP’s post!
OP's post image is probably a still image from a video of him ripping someone a new one in committee.
In the age of HD video, it is remarkably easy to catch a single frame of someone looking ridiculous.
35 years old. I'm glad we're having such young people hit the spotlight in politics (I say this as a young person myself)
As somebody in between being a young and an old, holy shit yes!
We in the exclusive Oregon Trail Generation (born late 70s into early 80s, tail end of gen x into the oldest millennials) get to watch how much harder it has gotten for young people, driven by ancient politicians who had things the easiest of any generation throughout their lives, economically speaking.
The MAGA movement is, at heart, a racist movement. So yeah. They're pretty racist.
So she means the Native Americans.
"No, not like that!"
Why not just deport them to India?
Shree can try. We don't want Americans here
sounds legit
Only whites are native born to the North American continent.
As far as I know, white people were the only people ever to see North America or set foot on it in all of human history. Everyone else is a guest!
Only some whites
Rossy isn’t one of them
Look who loves democracy until it works.
Someone needs to push back against this and say, "We want this! We asked for it, by name!" Like your lame ass party and the other lame ass party don't fucking do shit so we started looking for people that will do shit. Guess what, we found them. Grow up and accept that if you do unpopular things, you will become unpopular.
Republicans generally have not liked democracy since the 60s.
Many of the recent Republican Presidential candidates did not win the popular vote even when they got into office. Many Republican drawn maps are rigged / gerrymandered such as Texas and before that North Carolina. Republicans were lighting ballot boxes on fire in 2020 and 2024. A few Republicans tried to remove Term Limits for Trump. The only reason the Republicans have a house and senate majority is because the house is capped at 435 and the senate gives 2 seats to every state regardless of the fact that North Dakota has 800k population, Wyoming 590k, and California almost 40 Million.
Sometimes Republican voters will literally poll that Democracy doesn't work.
He was born in Washington DC! He's more American than 99% of Americans
And has 100% less representation!
Washington DC isn't a state and you can't be been in the United STATES of America if you're not born in a state. - Kate (probably)
Give MAGAts credit, they have a natural talent for grabbing bad photos of people they dont like.
Having a triangle head does not have an impact on his suitability for governance or his policies.
<Thinking...>
He is black he must be an immigrant
Black with a non-white, muslim-sounding name.
Politics aside, he looks like he wants to do experiments on anthropomorphic bandicoots.
We need to leave racism in the past and move forward - together - as a nation that roasts people purely on how much they look like video game villains
In 10 years with 2% CPI increase each year, minimum wage will be worth the exact same as today if you rose it by $4 tomorrow.
The past few years it's been between 3-6%
See, that's the thing.
CPI increases have always persisted. So minimum wage has now become so worthless that it's impossible to survive on it.
IMO, we should tie minimum wage increases to the inflation rate.
Inflation goes up 2%, so does minimum wage.
Kate_p45? Definitely AI trash starting a fight to blind people with emotion and make them hate each other instead of being rightly mad at the oligarchs perpetuating the system.
That beared and hair! He knows his style for his headshape and i am so jellouse!
Imagine looking at that list of policies and thinking "not on my watch"
As a Trump loving landlord and minimum wage employer I would be OUTRAGED.
It would be very funny if they wrote a bill that limited citizenship to people born in "America"
See this guy is a "problem" being a foreign born citizen running for public office. When we just finished up having a foreign born citizen fucking around in our federal government for 6 months in a position that was not voted for, or on. Ill give you 1 guess as to what the difference is between those two people I mentioned, and its the reason why both Fareh and Mamdani are under such scrutiny.
He isn't a foreign born citizen at all. Born in D.C. He doesn't even have an accent. They saw his name and skin color and masked off their stupid.
Fair enough, that shows off my ignorance I honestly spoke without doing a lot of research on Fateh. Oops. The point still stands though! 😂 P.S. I realize it says this in the summary of the article, turns out I cant read either. Lol
Holy fuck. With a resume like that, he's got my vote....
I don't live there, but if I did....
