the islamaphobic AIPAC and thier wealthy zionist backers.
I give lemmy 365 days, tops, until we utterly despise the man for making political compromises.
I've already seen comments here that say he's toxic, simply because he's a politician.
Those people aren’t of voting age yet, so let them cry about it. When they grow up- they’ll see how it works.
Australia has the right idea. If you can't operate a car, you can't operate social media.
I can dig that actually. I'd be willing to wager SM is worse for a developing brain than weed or alcohol.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a politician.
Referring to tankie users/communities is cheating.
Had a pretty good government teacher in high school. Scored one of the only D grades I every got in life. (Unthinkable!) But she really nailed how politics work IRL. Not even realpolitik, merely, "This is how Congressmen live and operate. Here are the benefits and powers of their position." Nothing partisan either! Eye opening.
Raise your hands if you know the word "franking" and what it implies. :)
Other great points were that money doesn't mean the same thing to them as it does us. (SEE: Franking.) Need a new suit? Tailors will line up to make you one for free! "We serve the best of the best!" Need a table at a high-end restaurant? "Of course we have room ma'am! On the house!"
I am hardly concerned with US Congresses' pay. They get plenty of benefits.

Everyone is chronically upset on the internet is what I have learned
Some people hate things as a hobby. I say that a lot, and I'm really serious.
Some people play video games, watch movies, or read books, and other people just hate stuff. That's their whole thing. They seek it out. They doom scroll until they find something to hate, and then they latch onto it and spread that hate wherever they can. Most of them don't even realize they're doing it.
I've seen so many good things fall apart because of this internet hate machine. It's sad.
It’s just the new innovation in hating. Instead of yelling at the TV it’s broadcasting your hate to others via social media.

Well adjusted healthy people living a happy life don’t waste their time arguing in comment sections.
you sir have impugned my honor. pistols at dawn?
that's the way. not ironically or sarcasm. leaders aren't our allies, they are intrinsically antagonistic to the public.
we must elect who we will fight against. then keep the pressure on them.
might elaborate later. can't write an essay rn.
~~leaders~~ rulers
Oh jesus christ.
Cant yall motherfuckers chill out?
I get it. You would love to live in a utopia where nobody ever, ever, ever, tries to grasp for power. So would I.
But.... come on. Reality is a sonofabitch. And maybe you should try and live in it every now and again.
At no point will we ever experience someone not trying to grasp at the roots of power.
Yeah, but we could live in a society where those people grasping for power just for the sake of power would be shunned and cast out. Cause that’s how it used to be according to historian and philosopher Rutger Bregman. Admittedly, that’s been some long time ago, but still.

Dad was always taken aback by people who lust for "power". LOL, he was mad at people who designed parking lots to herd us around!
But I get it. A leader has to have some bit of narcissism to say, "I can do this. I'm smart and capable enough to take the reigns." Comes with the job.

Yup. It’s absolutely going to happen. They’re already turning on AOC.
I've never seen a legitimate complaint about either her or Bernie. People will make grand claims about how they sold out or some shit and then back it up with the weakest sauce imaginable. It's embarrassing more often than not.

My dude he's the mayor of New York, that's literally his job. The mayor of New York is a lightning rod for all the frustration people experience living in the city. Mandani just took the most hated job in the world, sure he can do some good for the city. He's still going to be hated for it. That's just New York.
I guess. But I still admire Bernie and AOC, so what do I know?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the expectation of a single charismatic leader to solve everything is basically "great man theory" and pure fascist rethoric.
I love how upset the old guard is about Mamdani. Fuck every single one of them.
Inviting them to have a seat at the table can send them into a tailspin. It's kind of funny how they pretend to be the adults in the room while doing so.
it also got the gop panties in a wad, and they colluded with the old guard dnc to derail his campaign. it tells you they are one in the same, hence a uniparty.
Mamdani told a heckler that he wanted him to be able to afford to live in New York as well.
A pastor who asked Trump to have empathy for people he doesn't like, was attacked by the entire political movement.
When they say culture war, that is what they want winning and the realization really sucks.
Forgot Hakeem Jeffries.
That tracks… He’s proven himself to be quite forgettable.
Who?
Jeffery Hakim, not to be confused with Jeffery Epstein.

I decide to just be glad about him winning. Neither over- nor underwhelmed. Hopeful but not blue-eyed. And may it have a knock-on effect on other Dems.
other states had DEM wins too, missipis supermajority in the house was broken by dems, and virginia has a dem now.
Right? I'm happy he won, but he's just a mayor. It's a step in the right direction, sure. But I think some people are vastly overestimating what he'll be able to accomplish.
While it's just a major, it's not "just" a mayor. It's the major of one of the most important city in the US.
When I was visiting Houston, there was this restaurant called The Puddery that people were claiming had the best pudding ever. I went there and stood in line for a while before I got my order. It was, indeed, the best pudding I have ever had; but it was still pudding. There is a limit to how good pudding can be. So while someone could say it isn't "just" pudding, but the best, most amazing pudding in the whole wide world; at the end of the day, it really is "just" pudding.
Don't forget about defeating Alan Dershowitz!
Highest voter turnout in like 50yrs…hope he destroys the rich NYC establishment and corrupt government departments.
I'm not a NewYorker, but his winning also brought me hope. So he's winning outside of NY too.
Can't stop thinking of that one song:
My name is mamdani. m-a m-d-a-n-i mamdani
I really hope we can get some of that in Florida and remove Ron DeSantis toy story looking ass. This should be the age to finally move past centrism, it has been the direction of the party all this time and lead everyone to where we are now. Enough bipartisan ass kissing with fascists.
