Can Mamdani fire the establishment goon later? If so, it could be a smart strategic move to qwell the DNC and win his general election.
There it is. They compromised him.
Feeling like that Star wars “you were the chosen one!!” meme
Eyes on the ball, it’s the policies that matter. If we start seeing watering down of the policies, shoot away, but this on its own means little.
Dude, it’s already over.
And thus Republicans win again.
Thank you leftist purity culture, you truly are the best tool the fascists have.
In what way? He’s better than any republican, but he’s already playing into DNC’s bullshit game by pivoting right.
Is he doing that? Or is he just playing politics and trying to maximize his chances of winning the general election? Who are you to say he won’t pivot back to the left the instant he gets into office?
who are you to say he won’t pivot back to the left
The standard Democratic playbook when they do get elected. They practically never actually stay left, and he just enlisted Lerner, Cuomo’s guy, who’s big into corporate and gig-economy shit.
And? He’s not a standard Democrat. This fickle purity testing is why the right keeps winning.
What the fuck is “purity testing”?
I’m complaining about him hiring Lerner. He’s playing by standard DNC rules, at best now.
Because “is already over” means he’s not good enough for the left. So they’ll stay home and stomp their feet like they did in November. And he’ll lose.
I guess if that’s what you want to read into what I said. There’s just no reason to think he’s gonna be any better than a bog standard Democrat anymore, is all.
Nothing is ever really over. There is always change and we don’t know what’s gonna happen just what is happening.
Well, it was nice having hope for a few weeks.
Mamdani about to find out how fast we will throw him at the wayside when he sides with the establishment.
Because then we’ll get someone better, right?
Someone better then… Right?
Nah, Obama got reelected after stabbing us all in the back. Mamdani will be fine, even after his conservative heel turn.
I wonder how hard to the right he’s going to tack to get the DNC to not be like “oooh, brown man scary! 👻“
Aaaand…the inevitable pivot to the center, commences.
No, please don’t be a disappointment.
Let the guy govern for a month before giving up. New Yorkers should pressure him from the left, not just sit back and let the right do it’s thing
Goddammit can’t we have a true progressive for once in a position of real power. Why the fuck is he doing this? See this what happens when we feel hope.
I’m still holding onto hope but damn.
🤣
