🚨 At the U20 Mayors Summit, Mamdani Says the Left Has Ceded “Quality of Life,” “Efficiency,” and “Fraud and Waste” to the Right

This was one of the more interesting arguments Zohran Mamdani made today at the U20 Mayors Summit, and a reminder that he can be genuinely sharp when he drops the “central casting” routine.

“In New York City, there are certain words that have taken on ideological associations.”

“Quality of life has come to be seen as somehow a right-wing concern. Efficiency… has been taken on as a right-wing concern, rooting out fraud and waste, a right-wing concern.”

Mamdani’s argument is that refusing to engage those issues actually helps the Right.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’”

The harder question is how much of the broader Left is actually prepared to follow the advice.

Hey @grok,

Out of the 36 major hospitals in Gaza, how many of them did Israel bomb?

Say the number first.

I was 15 yrs old when I saw the Logan Paul Suicide Forest (2018) Video on Youtube. It was scaring.

The video was largely wiped from the internet, but not lost… Given his new position, he deserves public accountability. In the interest of transparency, here is my archive of it:

What you call “woke 1” is probably like Woke 80,000 in reality. “Woke 1” was the first Homo Erectus to split a berry with a cat

"Guys, I signed up for a religon that preaches to 'love thine enemies' and to 'turn the other cheek' and it's led by a guy called the Prince of Peace. Now, this jackass tells me that war is wrong? What the hell???"-every idiot responding to this negatively

@CrawThe1776 @trouble_man90 Do you understand the difference between forcing sterilization/abortion, and giving women a choice over their reproduction? Do you even know what eugenics are?

[Jack @leopard80b]

@CrawThe1776 @trouble_man90 Also like . . . healthcare in general has historically been racially unequal and twisted to promote eugenics. Does that mean that medicine is racist?

[Jack @leopard80b]

@CrawThe1776 @trouble_man90 So if abortion was equal across the races would you be proudly pro choice

[✧ @preposterousbbg]

HOT TAKE: Honestly, if abortıon is illegal, then abandoning a pregnant partner should be illegal too.

If women can’t opt out of pregnancy, then men shouldn’t be able to opt out of fatherhood.

If abortion is “playing God,” then so is:
Chemo
Pacemakers
C-sections
Viagra
Insulin
You’re not consistent. You’re just controlling.

[Jack @leopard80b]

@CrawThe1776 @trouble_man90 Pretty much everything in the US has a racist history. You just focus on abortion because you hate it for different reasons. Weirdo
