This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

We can absolutely criticize him because of three facts:
He explicitly promised to arrest Netanyahu on his campaign trail.
He affirmed that he would indeed arrest Hamas members in accordance with ICC warrants if they were in New York.
New York City currently holds the legitimate President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, in captivity. There is already precedent in the US for illegally arresting world leaders, it wouldn't even be a first.
All that aside the real problem is that he lied about something he is either unable, or even uninterested to do, purely to signal to the growing anti Zionist sentiment in the US and use it as an easy way to score votes. I think it's frankly disrespectful and a little gross to use a genocide as a means to get positive press and not follow through on your promises once you get what you want.
Yeah
But tbh?
Of Mamdani did any of that
He'd be toast and probably deported to Uganda.
Then he shouldn't lie that he would do it just to convince people to vote for a Democrat. It's a failing of both him and electoralism in general.
Yeah, that's just America ln political culture
If they wanted us to vote
They wouldn't currently be taking the right away from folks
Doesn't matter to me
Obama promised a lot of shit and did none of it
He did worse, even
Mamdani promised to protect anti-Zionist speech
He did in the very beginning of his administration (in a very Zionist city, mind you, or at least with a strong Zionist connection and influence)
Cuomo had to go (I can't imagine the Cuomo brothers having more influence and the Democrats acting like nothing is wrong with that picture)
And he effectively got rid of him
Mamdani has so far disappointed...
...But frankly, I expect that of most politicians.
I would rather have someone that pisses off both the libs and the conservatives than another AOC (where everyone is literally just "fake-mad" about him, especially the liberal media).
If anything what you got is pretty much another AOC in Madani. It's the same every time with these "progressive" US politicians. Also I don't think Obama is a great comparison, he didn't position himself as a radical socialist. The purpose of characters like Madani, AOC, Bernie etc. is to take all radical energy in the country and steer it back into the established capitalist political system.
Cori Bush was much better than Mamdani, I'm sorry, dawg
Every one of "the Squad" is not there any more.
AOC is because she was and is rich and well-funded.
Even her backstory is made up and exaggerated.
She is there.
The other "Squad" members aren't.
I would rather have a fluke like Mamdani than a psy-op like AOC.
(anyway, whatever, Mamdani will disappoint, I already know this lol but I will take NYC traffic today than what is before lol)
