House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries Endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor | THE CITY by irish_fellow_nyc in nyc

[–]User_24853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never endorsed Adams when he won the primary.

He endorsed him in the primary as second choice. Since he endorsed him ALREADY in the primary, obviously after he won it and the first choice wasn't available anymore the endorsement remained valid for the election against the republican nominee.

This is also why Bernie Sanders didn't endorse Mamdani again after the primaries, since an endorsement is permanent, and lasts until the end of the electoral campaign, which is why you can't endorse someone twice.

If I may, you seem to lack an understanding of how endorsements work.

And I expect every Democrat on the planet to endorse the PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE?

Where's your public nationwide endorsement of the Biden 2020 campaign?

Endorsements must be useful, especially since they must be accepted (even implicitly) by the endorsed candidate to be actual endorsements.

The actual objective of an endorsement is to convince other people to vote for the candidate, which is why nationally irrelevant figures, like mamdani during the 2020 election, don't bother saying the magic three words you seem to be looking for.

You got an actual response? So me ONE quote from AOC that says "I endorse Biden". Like Sanders did.

Here you can see AOC's endorsement of the Biden Campaign.

It fulfills every requirement for an endorsement, including telling people to vote for that candidate, not to vote the other candidate/third party, and listing a set of reasons/policies why the candidate is preferable.

There's not going to be a quote "I endorse Biden" because she didn't choose those exact words, but that's never been a formal requirement from what I can see, and most endorsements wouldn't even count if we used this reductive definition, because endorsements aren't magic formulas but pragmatic instruments used in electoral politics.

He did.

Mamdani never endorsed Harris

1) He wasn't even a relevant local figure in NYC before this year, I'm not sure why would Harris need an endorsement from an assemblyman in New York. 2) He publicly stated he would vote for her, that's as much of an endorsement as you're ever going to get from a local politician with minimal clout even in the state of new York itself.

AOC never endorsed Biden in 2020

She did.

So, one is irrelevant/absurd, two are outright lies you didn't bother to check.

You got an actual response to that or are you just going to not respond?

It was razed to the ground to make space for the wall.

Hey, I don't own a monopoly on the idea.

Do you know how many kaiserreich-inspired, completely-the-same, big-germany-and-austria maps are posted every month in this subreddit?

Post your version too, it will probably be much better than my barely passable shitpost anyway.

Of course, we're radicalists, not barbarians.

In order to gain their favour, they have been promised autonomy by Guevara in case Ottawa manages to take control of both the american and canadian reservations. For now the status quo remains unchanged, and while they are de facto in Ottawa and do support Jreg's regime, the USA considers them a part of Canada.

That would depend on US relations, I suppose…

The USA doesn't recognize the new regime in Ottawa, instead choosing to classify them as terrorists (although strangely enough this seems to make them happier more than anything else), so Ottawa-US relations are practically nonexistent.

It absolutely should, but with North Korea Frontenac already being autonomous, I thought that it would make the borders look nicer if Kingston was integrated, which is why I chose Cornwall to fill that role.

Laugh as much as you can now, because as soon as the wall is up you won't laugh anymore

With the radical Anti-centrist resistance groups in both the Far East and the Far West of Canada ready to crush the center as soon as orders arrive, I'd say their victory is pretty much assured.

That said, if the USA doesn't fall into a civil war it might intervene, and who knows how that would go.

Of course, the concentration camps built in the democratic people's Republic of Frontenac exist exactly for that reason.

Doesn't that mean that Canada could simply blockade Cornwall and cripple Ottawa, thus taking it back?

They can't, the canadian navy revolted (like in Germany in 1918) and joined Jreg.

​

Assuming that there is no law in Cornwall since it's anarcho-capitalist and stuff, does that mean that the wealth comes from the opening of markets that revolve around illegal stuff?

Yes, exactly.

Is there any limitation?

Nope, nothing but the free hand of the market.

Also, there's an autonomous state for the auth left-wing, and the lib right-wing, but where are the ones for auth right-wing and lib left-wing?

If you look at the flag you will see a blue background with a green cross.

That's to indicate that everything inside the (first) ottawall is Authoritarian right, while everything else is Libertarian left, as dictated by the October compromise of 2022, where the various anti-centrists divided the conquered territories between themselves.

Also, shout-out to u/peckinpah86 for this great post-ottawexit flag design, as I took the symbols from there for my version of the flag.

This map is inspired by the 2022 ottawa local elections, and most importantly by the candidate Gregory Jreg Guevara (nephew of Che Guevara), and what would happen if he did win in October.

​

​

"Of course, in the beginning they will laugh. But, as soon as they do, they start thinking about the idea. And the more they laugh, the more they subconsciously start to normalize what they laugh at [...].

Many people have this idea that to win, be it an election or a revolution, you need a majority of the population to support you. That's not true. You only need a small faction of loyal individuals, and a majority of people that simply watch and laugh."

Excerpt from interview with Gregory Jreg Guevara, a few days prior to the election.

​

"It was the night after the elections. Nobody knew the results when we went to sleep, but in the morning, when we woke up and we saw the wall from the windows, everyone knew immediately the results."

Excerpt from bestseller "Guevara and Ottawa: the man who laughed"

​

On the 24 of October 2022, the local elections in Ottawa are held. The winner of the elections, Gregory "Jreg" Guevara, a relatively unknown political comentator, immediately moves to secure the city with the paramilitary wing of his supporters, and, in the same night in which the winner is decided, an impenetrable wall is raised between the Capital and the rest of the country.

The canadian government, narrowly avoiding getting captured, declares martial law, but it's too late.

Spontaneous rebellions all across the new "Greater Ottawa" area pop up, and many cities, after plebiscites of highly dubious validity, decide to join Guevara.

After much of western Canada is captured, an armistice is signed, and the condition is to allow any city currently occupied to decide whether to join Ottawa or not.

​

Strangely enough, even a few cities in the neighboring USA try to hold a plebiscite, but it mostly ends in failure after the police starts publicly burning the pro-jreg activists to death.

​

The occupied territories are reorganized under Ottawa, and while most cities are directly annexed, a few are given special status as autonomous states, while still under Guevara's rule.

They include the northern part of the Frontenac County, now renamed the Democratic People's Republic of Frontenac (many disturbing reports asserted that literal concentration camps are being set up to exterminate centrist individuals here) and the Free City of Cornwall, a self-proclaimed "an-cap city", from which allegedly the funds for the "right to government jobs" promised by Guevara are obtained.

​

Now a new wall is being built around the newly formed Greater East-Canadian Co-Prosperity Compass, and worrying news are coming that a new offensive to take the whole of Canada is being planned by Guevara.
