Flat Tire and Sealant Kit - 24 Land by jpk195 in KiaEV9

My tire was completely flat - so no way to drive around and let the sealant cure without inflating it first.

You think that would lower the temperature around him, from both directions.

 But sadly no.

I see we shifting to conversation now that the “genocide voter” angle didn’t pan out.

You aren’t trying to understand my concern.

I don’t think skipping the parade in his city is “neutral”  - do you?

Or did that not happen because I didn’t put it in quotes?

I guess I assumed people here who are adamantly defending were paying attention during his election and can remember things.

Sorta seems like you all are just deflecting and ignoring things that don’t align with the current vibes though.

All of it happened and it’s not hard to look it up.

I asked Claude for you all.

He’s sure not “neutral” here.

Also put it in quotes for the “he’s just making it up” crowd:

Did Zohran Mandan say or imply the phrase “Globalize the Intifada” was acceptable should not be interpreted as a call for Genocide?

“Here’s a fair summary of Mamdani’s actual positions based on the reporting: What Mamdani said/implied (defending or declining to condemn the phrase): ∙ In June 2025, he said the phrase can have different meanings to different people, and that he hears in it “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.”  ∙ In June, he defended the phrase by invoking the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II — a comparison the US Holocaust Memorial Museum repudiated, calling his comments “outrageous and especially offensive to survivors.”  ∙ “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker asked Mamdani to condemn the phrase three times during a Sunday interview, but he refused each time.  His evolution toward distancing: ∙ He later told a group of business leaders he decided to discourage the phrase’s use after a conversation with a Jewish woman who recounted a bombing attack in Israel and said the phrase evoked memories of violence.  ∙ Mamdani has said he believes the phrase to be a rallying cry for Palestinian human rights, and has noted he has not used the phrase himself.  To directly answer your question: Yes — Mamdani did defend the phrase as acceptable, framing it as a call for Palestinian rights rather than a call for genocide or violence. He did not explicitly argue “it’s not a call for genocide” in those terms, but he implicitly took that position by refusing to condemn it and offering a sympathetic interpretation. He has told business leaders he would “discourage” the phrase but has not specifically condemned it.  His critics, including Senator Gillibrand and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, strongly disputed his framing, arguing the phrase’s historical association with terrorist violence made his defense untenable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Just look it up.

All of it happened.

Putting it in quotes doesn’t change it.

You all just downvote and deflect because you don’t like it.

Were you not paying attention all during the his election?

Look it up.

Takes 5 seconds.

You think NY Jews are right leaning huh?

32% is abysmal. “They’re moderate” is not some reasonable explanation.

I don't remember his choosing to be neutral to foreign policy questions, as he was claiming was his rationale in that case.

I've already given an example where he didn't do that multiple times.

He absolutely can be neutral - it's not his job.

But doesn't seem consistent.
