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
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 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.

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.
olivia reingold of the free press, a mouthpiece for genocide and child famine excuser, that olivia reingold?

Agreed on all points.
