Damn, his foreign policy takes are… Still somehow the best ive heard from any elected american figure ‘and it’s at least partially our fault’.
He’s trying to prove he’s a real socialist by doing leftist infighting
lol
I can buy that.
This is from September, obvious bait is obvious. Hopefully he continues to advocate for peace and dropping sanctions, and hopefully the PSL can get some wins sooner rather than later.
Bait for what exactly?
Mamdani is the bait for people like us. Bait the liberal wing of Hexbear seem to have taken quite readily.
Bait? So this poster doesn’t actually care about Cuba and Venezuela and is just trying to do what exactly, farm upbears? When I was crowing from the rooftops when he first did the Ramos interview, I was ignored, but good to know that statements expire after two months
So this poster doesn’t actually care about Cuba and Venezuela and is just trying to do what exactly, farm upbears?
What is spamming this on a tiny web Forum where most of us seem to agree, doing to help support Cuba and Venezuela? Nothing.
OP is absolutely farming upbears. I’ve seen this post maybe 4 ot 5 times, in about 15 minutes of scrolling. It’s getting ridiculous
Every. Goddamn. Time.
This is why we don’t back socdems or do electoralism, comrades.
(I swear, I am getting way too much mileage out of this meme.)
I got shouted at before the election for saying this. Bernie bros are now just Mamdani bros.
This is 2 months old. He’s shut the fuck up since then and I hope he stays that way.
Completely unnecesary to say this shit too, he wins nobody with it and only harms leftists.
The Sisyphian task of electoralism:
Personally, I’ll take good ol’ Bouldy over this.
social democrat says social democrat things news at 11
I’m so tired of hearing about Mamdani and New York City and its politics
“Look I just wanna make it clear, I follow the democratic party line in condemning AES, but maybe we shouldn’t blockade and bomb them, pretty please?” gets ignored
I mean, any majorly elected politician is going to be bad in foreign policy lest the Trump and broader reactionary forces call them ‘traitors’ and kick them out of their seats or fabricate even more lies than they are now.
And yeah, the American public also just sucks at foreign policy in general, most of 'em, anyway.
I am still unconvinced as to why a mayor needs to have the correct opinions on issues that he has no power over
He could just shut the fuck up, and especially so in this case seeing as how this is something he emailed to some podcast that literally no one who would consider voting for him were likely to have even heard of after he had already recorded an episode with them.
Also I just generally expect people who call themselves socialists to actually have socialist views, but maybe that’s just me
Why is he helping Trump make the rhetorical case for military intervention?
it’s an egregious use of his pulpit to manufacture consent for whatever Trump will do to Venezuela
His propaganda platform isn’t much larger than a B-list celebrity. Secondly, manufacturing consent or running propaganda in favor of or against foreign policy doesn’t do much at all. The foreign policy of the state functions without any regard for popular opinion.
Why does he need to state any opinions on these things whatsoever?
b/c his propaganda platform is arguably equally important to the policies he pursues. statements like this normalize and spread a conception of socialism that plays ball with imperialism and furthers western chauvinist brainworms.
Beyond whether or not he has the correct opinions, he demonstrates terrible judgement by continuing to humor such stupid questions. Any time he’s asked about Israel, Cuba, Venezuela, whatever, his response should be that he’s running for/is the mayor of NYC. He’s not the president, he’s not secdef, he’s not an ambassador, and these questions are insulting to the people of NYC. Falling into these obvious rhetorical traps that serve absolutely no purpose is just foolish. There’s nothing he can say that will satisfy zionists and western chauvinists so he shouldn’t say anything and he should be aggressive in attacking anyone asking him those questions.
We’d rather have an international socialist than a national socialist? He can’t do anything about Israel but we still want him to be antizionist, right?. The incorrect opinion here is literally helping manufacture consent for American extrajudicial murder, and reducing it to an opinion you can be right or wrong about is minimizing that murder.
Also didn’t Bernie make Burlington Vermont into a sister city with somewhere in the Soviet Union? We can have higher expectations for elected officials than the narrow remit of their office
Turns out the city was Yaroslavl and the relationship was severed in 2022 :(
The city I grew up in has a sister city partnership with a city in Tajikistan, and they sent us an absolutely gorgeous handmade entire building. I was so proud when I found out. Even if the USSR was around today, the city wouldn’t set up that relationship now, they’re fully captured by the neoliberals, who focus on investing property values, restricting multi home development, and bending over to get companies like Google to come in and open satellite offices.
‘democratic socialist’ when people do democratic socialism in venezuela lol
if allende didnt die hed be decrying chile as evil gommunists too
You’ve convinced me, I’m voting Sliwa.
I"m starting the Crazy Cat Commando Party
Sliwa? The food contest guy? I didn’t realize he was in politics. His ability to eat does indicate unparalleled determination /j
Ziohran Langleyni
Ok Mr. “I’m going to be mayor of New Yorkers for New Yorkers”. Guess he blew his entire spine out telling the Pissreal, lobby to get rekt. Then again he’s just another
Tbis guy fucking sucks
