These people are so stupid. Mamdani has made it extremely clear where he stands on this, often accepting serious risks to his political career to do so (thank God those risks have panned out) as well as serious risks to his personal safety. The fact that he’s attending a vigil for people who died in the attack says absolutely nothing about his stance on Israel’s response to that attack, and he’s already said very loudly and very clearly where he stands on that response.
This is why the left can’t have nice things, because we attack our own over bullshit purity tests that we invented for no good reason.
@IndustryStandard@lemmy.world are you just gonna sit there and take this? This guy called you so stupid because of your bullshit purity tests.
This community used to advocate for Kamala Harris a short while ago and go nuts whenever anyone called out her genocide support. Imagine the shock on my face when you do the exact same thing but for Mamdani this time around.
Smells like false flag to me
You’d think, but my local DSA chapter’s Discord is shitting on him and supporting the NYC-YDSA’s protesting against him.
Common DSA L, despite their undeniable utility as a local socialist politician pipeline
Yeah, I’m a member because of the good work they do. I hold my nose (and tongue) at times, though.
Tell your local DSA chapter they are a lot more based than the overcoupling NYC DSA.
“God I hate winning and am legitimately scared that the first real popular left wing movement will succeed and then I’ll lose my street cred”
Your left wing movement giving millions to Zionists organising trips to Israel.
“Oh shit I got called out! Maybe if I bring up some bullshit about a field trip or whatever he’ll forget about the entire country being on the precipise of the first real left wing political revolution in the US”
Did Mandani give seven million dollars to Zionist organisations, yes or no?
“God I hope he doesn’t know what CAIR, OCHC or the JCRC is, please god don’t let him known what those are. Maybe if I vaguely gesture at ‘Zionist organizations’ without any specifics he won’t know what those actually were. I should ask ChatGPT real quick to make sure”
