New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
He has also emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. Now, days before New York’s primary elections,
Progressives have been hoping for someone like Mamdani to actually win an election for a long time, now. If he is what finally instigates a break in the wall the Democratic party has erected, it’s not surprising that others are picking up their sledgehammers.
Electing someone who is actually DOING STUFF for the city he’s elected to run? I mean, yeah we should totally hate that. 😩
This is how MAGA took over the republicans.
Now we just have to convince leftists to get out and vote in the primaries and generals which might be a chore.
You know how many comments I’ve seen from lefties calling him a liberal plant? Never gonna happen.
Can you tell me his accomplishments?
Can you not be a little shit for two seconds?
In a sea of shity news, why do you have to be the turd that makes it’s way into the punch bowl as it just tries to stay afloat on the surface?
Are you a plant? Trying to creative division?
I’ll take any good news in the leftward direction over the waterfall of bad news we scroll through everyday.
Grow-up. Stop fighting with people who agree with you on the big picture stuff.
Do you really think being a little shit to someone after telling them not to be a little shit is going to make them care about anything you say?
Just makes me feel more justified tbh. Thanks
I didnt say it for you.
I said it for anyone else reading this far down the thread.
So your toxicity has some level of counterbalance.
So some people can realize we can disagree but still work together.
Because the only way you get what you want is by working for it. Not spitting in people’s eye when they’re already feeling hopeless.
Toxicity is subjective.
People who are toxic say shit like that.
I’m not partial to some of his politics, but he seems like a genuinely good guy. Both parties need more good and young guys and gals, Republicans most of all, but Democrats too.
With enough people like Mamdani, we could finally advance beyond a two party system.
They changed the rules. We will never see anything other than the Democratic Republicans in the US
As he should. We need to take any populist progressive momentum we have and use it to run the Democrats out of town. Along with the republicans. The two parties are just a black hole of corporate money.
Because, you know, he has and will continue to reject that money. Because he is so great and has such great ethics and morals…
Totally wouldn’t become the exact same thing. Or worse.
you know mamdani is still a democrat right? He is still approved by the richoids of america, y’know the guys who’ve been terrorizing the world for decades, and he already gave up on being anti cop. Ultimately guys like him are just there to fool you that the system can be change by voting, doing slight improvement so the system survives until it can take those improvements away.
They fought tooth and nail to keep him from winning, just like they did Bernie.
It’s just a show. He is still there, not to mention Bernie sanders is also a Zionist who turns American rage at the system into votes for democrats. I mean come on, Zoharan said he’d defund the police, where is that now?
liberals are going to be shocked when his successors revert everything good he’s done, as always
reshaping the imperialist party to fund healthcare of americans instead of giving it to billionaires. He has no problem with the imperialism part
He’s the mayor
nobody cares
I just explained what socialism means when it is preceded by “democratic” in the west
