That’s what the DSA is. It’s not the real working class or blue color workers that support the DSA. It’s a bunch of born into wealth college kids who went to school for useless ass degrees and are now mad they can’t get jobs after college and just like in there childhoods want everything to be just given to them.
People freaked out over this and that was a little gay but the underlying judgment was entirely reasonable
Zohran is not charismatic, what people mistake as charisma in him is anti-charisma and indicative of a deep and profound cultural rot. Finding him charismatic is akin to finding a sex-doll beautiful, it shows you have no sense of a sacred concept once thought to be a universal human experience. A sex doll can be hot, and can even be styled and positioned to make for a gorgeous photo- but it can never be beautiful, as an object or as a person.
True charisma is largely dead and has been replaced with the grotesque anti-charisma Zohran perfectly embodies. We recently saw a great example of genuine charisma in Erling Holland. Holland obviously has a rich and peaceful inner life, respect for something outside of himself, and an unmatched sense of discipline. He oozes virtue despite being extremely humble and low key. He is aspirational lightness, his mere existence inspires awe across the globe.
Zohran is a politician. He is hungry for power, more polished than sincere, constantly forces an exaggerated smile, has a meticulously manicured social media presence and is a pragmatist who says whatever will serve him at a given time then masterfully saves face. He sells himself as The Virtuous Good Guy Ally To All and often tries to overplay his hand. It’s entirely reasonable to say you like him because he is moving the party left and polished enough to be taken seriously in that endeavor, but finding him charismatic is naive or godless behavior. “I think this stripper really likes me” coded.
He is a clever guy and a talented politician, he saw that the left was desperate for an idol who wouldn’t disappoint them and he performs the role well. He brilliantly baits Jews and conservatives to train his fan base into sycophants dismissing all criticism as racism or Zionism/islamophobia. But his primary motivation is very obviously power. He is a talented performer with not an ounce of natural charisma
This is 2026. People cosplaying as things they don’t have the authority, the talent, or the track record to actually be. Just for content.
A mayor playing president. A founder playing operator. A content creator playing one-on-one thinking he’s a pro. A 25yr old with a ring light playing economist. Everyone auditioning. Nobody building.
Were raising a generation that learning the reward isn’t in doing the thing it’s in looking like you did the thing. The clip is the career. The pose is the product. The soundbite is the substitute for a life’s work.
Don't fall for distractions
Is America’s pastime baseball or dapping up the guys you’ve never had a sober encounter with at the bar but are fired up every time you see each other out, say what’s up, ask how they’re doing, then go on with your night
Give Mandami credit. He is doing exactly what he said he would do when elected. He is turning New York into a socialist/communist anti American city by getting “politicians” like Darializa Avila Chevalier elected. Here is just a sampling of things Chevalier has said, tweeted or done. (This is not an onion article. These are all facts)
Founded a group at Columbia with the express goal of overthrowing western society
Called all white women ugly colonizers while criticizing interracial relationships
Wishes she could wipe her ass with a the American flag
Waved a Hamas flag the day after October 7th attacks
Wants no borders
Wants to abolish the police
Wants to abolish prisons
Against all deportations. Clarified that even if a non citizen murders or rapes somebody deportation is immoral
Said all of the United States is on stolen Native American land
Things she has not done in her career. Had a job.
On the brightside though at least she never said America deserved 9/11. (At least that we are aware of yet) Unfortunately the other candidate Mamdani endorsed Aber Kawas did say that. And got elected. In NYC. What a world
