his anti-Israel past
Ah, fantastic, we’re at this point already
Although I did like the “it will be for sanitation commissioner for garbage”
At the same time, I can’t help but think of the Felix line, which is that Zionists should not even be allowed to be the local dogcatcher, as even that is too much state power to give a Nazi.
Fair, but I was thinking he meant by sanitary commissioner for garbage to be his way of saying diplomats/ambassadors/representatives (sanitary commissioner) to Israel (garbage)
olivia reingold of the free press, a mouthpiece for genocide and child famine excuser, that olivia reingold?
I guess she’s looking for a position on Zohran’s media team after he’s elected, lol.
This is actually a free press article. Which you’d think would give Mamdani pause, that the free press is discussing his softening towards zionism. How hard is it to say “my administration will include many people with many political viewpoints, but those who express support for genocide will not be welcome”?
He’s shown he is very willing to dodge questions with the “he’s mayor of New York line,” saw him do it today when asked if Hamas should disarm. Makes me chuckle when people say he has to say this in any capacity considering he definitely was going to win without it.
the only stuff i think he actually has to say is the backing down on nypd so he doesn’t get murdered. the rest of all this is just being terrible for the love of the game
You should’ve seen his heartfelt apology to them on fox 🥹
i wish i could get that kind of heartfelt apology from succs
if he isn’t willing to fight the NYPD and get them under control (massive cuts in size and funding and changes in personnel) then it’s a joke. He’s not gonna accomplish shit. The NYPD are a cartel that run NYC top to bottom. They won’t let you change anything. What a fucking joke this all is. Not addressing the elephant in the room that is running rampant and killing everyone to tidy up and organize a shelf. Succs be like “but an organized shelf in a room of splattered corpses is less bad, so you have to vote for the lesser evil and reduce harm. If he says anything bad about the elephant it will kill him too”
Ah great, this is amazing. Sounds like a real good strategy we picked then!
i don’t think the NYPD has strong opposition to cheaper groceries and more efficient busses? i’m as tired as the next guy but he ran on a budget freeze at most. it makes no sense to attack the guy for falling short of some ideal he never espoused when we have perfectly awful things where he actually has betrayed himself from four months ago.
They are absolutely in collusion with the landlord class and business owner class, capital exerts control over the NYPD and they are larger than many nations armies. The levels of patronage and bribery of the NY Judicial System + NYPD is on a scale of a major military base occupying the city, comparable to Baghdad during occupation. You just don’t get anything done they don’t want done.

my bloomer side hopes he’s lying
my doomer side knows this is an unforced error at this point and worries he’s going to go full obama.
only time will tell what actually happens in NYC. i will grant that he was reasonably defensive of arresting netanyahu if given the opportunity on fox news. i will also grant that there’s not much explicit foreign policy power endowed in the position “mayor of NYC.” i don’t have much general hope for wouldbe politicians not working as part of a vanguardist movement though.
Agreed on all points.

This is an irredeemably bad quote. Everything else I really had no problem with and could somewhat handwaive away but this makes him no better than the worst Lib.
the fact that he is all like “not just liberal Zionists either! Likud stormtroopers are welcome here too!”
At the current rate of change, we’re 7 days from Zohran cackling like Dr. Frankenstein as he personally throws the switch to reanimate Meir Kahane.
Zohran Mamdani fundamentally does not understand the reason he won
THIS. IS. COWARDICE
I mean…he does. That’s the game, raise hopes for a candidate that will actually change things who gets into office and tells their hopeful constituents to piss off because “that’s not how the real world works sweetie, grow up”.
America Delenda Est
it’s the throwback game. more recently they’ve been running on “nothing will change”
Well, I guess its the game that allows them to actually win elections…which I assume is needed for them to grift well? Honestly not sure if who wins is important at all to anyone.
The Obama special
Zohran Mamdani fundamentally does not understand the reason he won
Didn’t he specifically attack zionists in a pretty unprecedented manner for a US politician?
And now he’s saying he’ll have Zionists working for him. Suckdems are a parody at this point. It truly is that specter or barbarism.
It’s not cowardice, it’s strategy.
Plenty of strategies can be cowardly, overcaution has destroyed entire empires before
blunt rotation.
This is specifically him ignoring the DSA’s position.
Shit happens in mere weeks now. Sucdems tucking tail before they even have their second election is insane turn around time
usually they get elected before they start imploding
I forget who pointed this out, but Obama’s early activist career was a thousand times more fleshed out. He’s clearly aware that he is coasting off of people’s assumptions, in a climate of political desperation. I don’t even think he would be on the radar if not for Al-Aqsa Flood.
I don’t even think he would be on the radar if not for Al-Aqsa Flood.
Are you ready to condemn Hamas now, tankie?
I was kind of hoping he’d at least get elected before pulling the rug. In any case hope he enjoys losing his activist base for the election.
Can’t wait for all the “but I promise DSA is actually a good organization” people to come defend this one. I will apologize for this post only if the DSA kicks him out and revokes all endorsements or support.
NYCDSA is entertaining a proposal to restrict anti-Mamdani criticism.
I’m not a big DSA fan, but they don’t have a way to prevent him from saying this. I think the reaction from the DSA will show what their stance is.
They do, of course, have the ability to reject and condemn him for buddying up with Zionists. Denounce and then rethink their strategies because they keep fucking up and cannot do proper internal criticism or vetting of their “electeds” nor their electoral strategu, instead allowing their more liberal members to self-serve through paid electoral posts.
I heard they had a vote for anti-zionism, as in all of DSA. If they were cool, the NYC DSA would be purged or seized by actual anti-zionists since they’re kinda the more lib factions of the DSA.
Oh even the anti-Zionist proposal passed with assurances that it wouldn’t be used outside of extreme circumstances after much process.
Every single time.
Social democracy once again reveals itself as the moderate wing of fascism
Hexbear Mamdani gang stays losing
This is the free press so I’ll take it with a grain of salt, but if it is true, THE BASIC litmus fucking test is anti-Zionism. That’s it. If he can’t even do that then let the socdems burn. The PSL should infiltrate the DSA and purge all entryists and liberals, expel them from the party.
I agree that it’s a zionist rag, but they’re directly quoting him. They’re monsters, but they can still be sued for libel.
Eventually, when you deal with socdems day in and day out, you start to really understand Stalin’s party purges.
IIRC he had a call with Obama a few weeks back. Was probably told he has no future in Dem politics long-term if he doesn’t do what he is told… and it appears that he said yes, despite the Dem party being incredibly unpopular rn.
The funny part is that he definitely has no future in politics at all going down this road. After being a status quo preserving figurehead of NYC for a few years, literally everyone is going to hate his fucking guts.
Typical American politician. Its turning out his convictions are as weak as his bench press
Astute observation, Vegeta, negative power levels on this one.
