At least we’re starting negotiations on policy from the left instead of the center.
I should have known better than to believe something good could happen.
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.
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.
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.
You’re saying that moving to the right will lose elections.
THATS NOT WHT THE FUCK IT MEANS
That’s what I understood it to mean. So then tell me, what does it mean?
It means that he’s going to make himself beholden to donors like every establishment Dem does so even if all the leftists vote for him they’re not going to get what they voted for thanks to The Machine. He absolutely positively should NOT do ANYTHING that is geared towards trying to woo the Establishment. AOC didnt do it, along with several others. He is WINNING; there is NO reason to change tactics. Besides, he’s running for Mayor. There is no reason to involve any “advisors” from old national races that are irrelevant now.
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.
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.
Nothing is ever really over. There is always change and we don’t know what’s gonna happen just what is happening.
There it is. They compromised him.
Aaaand…the inevitable pivot to the center, commences.
I wonder how hard to the right he’s going to tack to get the DNC to not be like “oooh, brown man scary! 👻“
No, please don’t be a disappointment.
Well, it was nice having hope for a few weeks.
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.
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
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.
🤣
