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,
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.
But he’s not the right flavour of Democratic Socialist.
Sorry but it’s four more years of fascism. I don’t make the rules.
no real “leftist” would ever vote for the genocidal democrats
Are you intentionally proving his point?
just stating facts.
You defile the word “fact” with this usage
And that’s why the US marches ever to the right
I mean this guy does have a profile pic of Mao lmao
“forgot to attach gigachad”
No, you cant defeat right wing by votes. The US is marching right because its the logical conclusion of capitalism and american society. It has nothing to do with not voting democrats
I think this depends on what moral framework you have
not voting for rabid capitalist, imperialist, zionist party is the bottom line for being a leftist.
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.
The system has improved by voting. Like, take a quick gander through history. We’re in a down trend right now, and we need to fight, and fight to improve the system, but to deny that the system can change by voting is to deny history
No, the system never ever improved by voting. It only ever improved in response to fear of revolution, and any “improvement” through voting was nothing more than a temporary concession, Britain used to be the face of social democracy then Thatcher came and since then standard of living has been constantly getting lower, Obama brought Obama care(which was absolutely not enough) because Occupy wallstreet happened, then trump came and gutted it. You can’t change and improve a system that’s built to keep you down, by working from inside of it
Occupy Wall Street: 2011
Obamacare: 2010
sorry, my mistake. i mixed up some events in my memory
As I said. Denying history.
When has ever long lasting improvement came from voting then?
You’re 19.
Have a snack.
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?

Fell for it again rewards for all americans
reshaping the imperialist party to fund healthcare of americans instead of giving it to billionaires. He has no problem with the imperialism part
I just explained what socialism means when it is preceded by “democratic” in the west
is this not “all or nothing” thinking?
change is incremental
for your change you need 10-15 consecutive election wins otherwise one republican can undo all it at once. Not that democrats do good work to even get re elected. Structural change is not incremental
“Anyone disagreeing with me is a heckin tankie”
He’s not very socialist, no. But based on your take that socialists on the west are imperialist simply for existing within an imperialist nation, something tells me you think anyone who’s the enemy of the USA must be great. (Do correct me). And that usually ends up being tankies.
He’s been outspoken on the genocide in Gaza, at least. Which is one of the USA’s proxy imperialist projects.
USA, Russia, China, they’re all terrible in their own way. We don’t get to choose where we’re born.
I’m a socialist (edit: not a “democratic socialist”, like actually a socialist who wants revolution and institution of a worker controlled society) in Australia. Am I okay with imperialism too because of Australia’s actions?
In conclusion, Mamdani isn’t gonna bring about socialism, but he’s certainly not as bad as you’re describing (that I can tell, so far).
No, according to me socialists in the west are imperialist because they behave like that. How many times has zohran spoken about gaza after getting elected? I think its 0. I think anyone against the US isnt great, but they are better. I dont mind you calling me tankie, I support the soviet union, cuba, vietnam, maoist china, etc.
USA is clearly by far the most terrible of those nations. We must apply the lesser evilism that liberals apply in every election.
Mamdani allows west bank land sales in NY synagouges, he isnt that bad if your moral compass revolves around western left
He’s the mayor
nobody cares
