Asking someone running for mayor about international politics seems like a real "sir, this is a Wendy's" moment.

Run a candidate people want, run policies people want, and support that candidate and those policies instead of throwing everything you can against them because you like money
Their absolutely pathetic response to Mamdani's victory in the primary was so flagrant, I'm not even sure how to react to the Democratic party going forward. Not only did they try to stack the deck in Cuomo's favor, but then they threw a fucking tantrum when Cuomo still lost despite their efforts. They just don't seem credible to me anymore.
wedges, waffle, tots, onion rings, curly, shoestring, crinkle (never heard them called zigzag), sweet potato
I have had really good sweet potato fries that rank much higher, but they're a gamble. Seem to have greater variation in quality than the other options.

I'm the cousin of resentful: spiteful
They are already trying to do this and failing miserably at it. Censorship itself is an admission of guilt and is something that people are really starting to understand. That's basically the point of my original comment: the harder they try to stop dissent, the more guilty they look.

I'd like to compare with stats for other parts of the world.
The key is to vote for the left of center candidate regardless of how much donors spend. Show them that we are going to vote for who we want and that they can't derail it no matter how hard they try. We need to get comfortable with saying "no thanks, we're good" when they try their bullshit. This is literally what happened with Mamdani, and why both the DNC and Republicans are freaking out about it.
This is a more common set of views than one might expect.
The harder they push their pro-Israel agenda, the more anti-Israel everyone is going to get.
You can't bully us into supporting a genocidal regime.

They'll go on and on about antisemitism (which often is just criticism of a nation-state, so not actually antisemitism), but then it's deafening silence when it comes to racism against black people. Systemic discrimination against people of color is still alive and well in the U.S. But when have you heard this administration talk about it.
