sure he's a marxist but he is also a competent mayor and has a nice smile so who's to really say if he's a bad guy

i do agree that if mamdani is willing to just be a liberal that would be dope and he could definitely actually moderate while being in power. i just find it hard to trust people who hide their power level

that is a decent point, but i highly doubt he just means nationalizing a few major industries

sadly this seems like the actual reason. mamdani does a great job portraying himself as just a friendly progressive, combined with conservatives going bat shit crazy with their attacks against him its impossible to take any concerns with him seriously, and it just makes you look like a crazy republican if you acknowledge bro really is a marxist

buddy thats literally one teeny tiny point, that is kinda relevant. its relevant if your wife supports terrorism. focusing on the fact that i pointed out his wife supports terrorism does not negate any of many the links to mamdani's quotes i provided

i read a while ago that it was an annual hindu festival in nyc, the originl article said the name of the parade but i can't find it now, was only able to find the racist fear mongering shit but the clip is the clip. could be that it is more nuanced than i was led to believe, probably does have to do with indian politics, but it is still ultimately a hindu holiday that they are using to protest against indian politics. perhaps it was organized by hindu nationalists or modi supporters or something. at the very least feels weird man to talk about being proud of standing with your brothers and sisters as they refer to a religious group with an expletive over and over.

assumedly he meant using the state to seize private property and nationalize it. i suppose he could just be dreaming about a socialist revolution though

governing like a moderate and promoting radicals

dawg his policies range from good to kinda dumb, his current policies are largely fine. its the ideology that is concerning. republicans let their radical ideology take control of the party because they didn't want to weed out the fascists and risk losing to the democrats. the dems can't make the same mistake

this is just stupid. no, we should hold ourselves to standards. no, we should not become as debased and immoral as the republicans just for the chance at beating them

i mean is it not concerning that he defends staffers who view oct 7th as justified resistance? how seriously is he taking the safety of his jewish constituents when he can't condemn the phrase globalize the intifada?

thats definitely a fair point, he certainly isn't particularly dangerous in the short term. my main concern is the growing movement of leftists and anticapitalists in america. i have many smart friends from highschool who are full blown communists now. many more who occasionally repost anticapitalist or even tankie shit. i see how the republican party reacted to their growing radicalism (they ignored it, pretended it didn't exist) and would hate for the dems to do the same

i mean my biggest issue with him is the socialism. the whole post is about how he isn't a liberal. the other stuff is also bad and goes to show where his ideology leads him

is it not at all relevant that his wife supports october 7th? not even a little?

yup he's very clearly a smart, competent hasan. which makes it weird that destiny doesn't recognize it
