Sanders told Mamdani he had to do a better job explaining that his criticism is not antisemitic

The people calling him antisemitic don't give a shit, no matter how much you explain to them that criticism of Israel is not antisemitic they're going to keep calling it that anyway. Don't waste your breath imo.

I’m really hoping I don’t have to give myself a Fell For It Again award for supporting Zohran.

he would discourage the use of the phrase "globalize the intifada". Mamdani, who has not used the phrase himself...

Then why the fuck are you saying this?!

Bernie Sanders is politically toxic dead weight, Zohran proved Sander's theory of politics was absolute nonsense by a combination of socialist dogwhistling, zero tolerance for media bigotry/framing and basic rhetoric 101 skills

I'm 90% confident Zohran is simply humoring this out of touch liberal because Sanders unfortunately draws crowds with people who are still mentally stuck in 2016

The best thing to do is just not talk about it much. The mayor’s office doesn’t control any purse strings for selling arms to Israel, it’s not relevant to the day to day operations of the city. Just focus on the local politics, ye olde “making sure the trash gets picked up.”

The mayor’s office doesn’t control any purse strings for selling arms to Israel

True, but as the comptroller's recent divestment from Israeli bonds shows the city does have economic ties with Israel that can and should be severed, and the Mayor's office doubtlessly has a lot of say over that.

I'm no politic expert, but honestly think more people should pull a reverse Fetterman and lean into an even more overtly socialist vision after they win an election.

I hope he's not taking that advice too much to heart. He's been doing fine and not seeking antisemitic.
