Can Mamdani fire the establishment goon later? If so, it could be a smart strategic move to qwell the DNC and win his general election.
There it is. They compromised him.
Feeling like that Star wars "you were the chosen one!!" meme
Eyes on the ball, it's the policies that matter. If we start seeing watering down of the policies, shoot away, but this on its own means little.
Well, it was nice having hope for a few weeks.
Aaaand...the inevitable pivot to the center, commences.
No, please don’t be a disappointment.
I wonder how hard to the right he’s going to tack to get the DNC to not be like “oooh, brown man scary! 👻“
Mamdani about to find out how fast we will throw him at the wayside when he sides with the establishment.
Because then we'll get someone better, right?
Someone better then.... Right?
Nah, Obama got reelected after stabbing us all in the back. Mamdani will be fine, even after his conservative heel turn.
Goddammit can't we have a true progressive for once in a position of real power. Why the fuck is he doing this? See this what happens when we feel hope.
I'm still holding onto hope but damn.
Let the guy govern for a month before giving up. New Yorkers should pressure him from the left, not just sit back and let the right do it's thing
🤣
