I’m very surprised that people are so scared about a mayoral election. Yeah it’s NYC but like it’s not like he’s gonna have that much reach that the fucking PM of Israel needs to make a statement about it.
that’s how much they fear anything that even remotely resembles actual socialism.
exactly. the ruling class needs to eliminate the virus before it spreads.
He’s proving the point that the DNC has denied for well over a fucking decade: stop listening to money, start listening to people, and you will win. That’s it. That’s the whole argument.
And the DNC establishment is scared shitless, because they know it’s working, and they know more people are gonna run campaigns like he’s doing, and there’s gonna be a sea-change in terms of what the fuck the Democratic Party is (that, or a third party is going to spawn and absolutely fucking crush the DNC).
The neoliberals are looking down the barrel of a gun right now, and they know they put themselves there.
I just saw another candidate doing similar running for a Senate seat in Maine. He’s already said he would vote out Schumer
He won’t affect global policy much at all. He’s a threat to the mega wealthy because he’s a symbol of change in the American people.

McCarthy hearings?
They’re worried he will succeed and serve as an example that the people rather than money are in charge, if they could only realize it.
If they truly believed Democratic socialist policies had no legs, they’d leave him alone and watch him fail as an example.
The real battle isn’t left or right. It’s up vs down.
Tax wealth not work!
I mean sort of but there are a lot of down folks on the side of the ups and that basically just brings us back to what left vs right always was
This is why more efforts should be spent on helping everyone see that billionaires are the real source of the problem. The rights handbook is just to say the leftist billionaires are the problem.
Individuals like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan have responded by wearing shirts that say “We should have more billionaires” in the color scheme and style of Mamdani’s campaign material.
Is he promoting that we cap assets around $1 billion to allow the less fortunate to come up to that level?
…For dinner? …In prison? …Take a one-way trip to Mars?
If so, then I agree.
In those cute submarines made out of a spare water heater and an Xbox controller.
That’s fucked up. We need more Luigis.
No that’s amazing, we should be all wearing those shirts. Just with an *explaining how they can help
Well, with inflation this will inevitably become true. Be careful what you wish for.
This post has less upvotes in the politics community, where it belongs, than here. Why?
Because tech is waking up to the fact that they are labor, too.
c/technology is 3x bigger than c/politics
He’s just s mayor. Obviously, people don’t know how government works. He needs to be dictator before he can fundamentally change NYC.
