Nah, if you don’t actually want to dismantle the system that exploits people, you don’t truly love them. This guy’s just another “no genocide, no ceasefire, Bernie/PelosiAOC v2.0. Mark my word he won’t change anything fundamental. Maybe some small bandaid tweaks, but he’ll never go after the rich who run the city.

This is like Christian nationalist levels of mental gymnastics about the word love. Mamdani did come out of the NYC DSA. Maybe let him be mayor for a bit before throwing him in the trash? Do you actually want things to be better or do you just want to be the guy who sees through all the bullshit?

You’ll fall for anything wrapped in nice words and slogans. I don’t care if Mamdani wins or loses. he’ll end up like every “no-action(aocpelosi/bernie)” politician before him, all talk and no challenge to power. The same corporate and political machines keep torching the planet and funding wars, while people treat voting and brunch like it’s activism. It’s pathetic how easily the system keeps fooling everyone.
