Kamala literally adopted more republican policy positions to gain favor with “centrist conservatives”.
Mamdani has changed literally 0 policy positions to get Trump to favor him.

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Biden so enthusiastically supported the 2003 invasion + occupation of Iraq that he broke with his own party to support the Bush administration's illegal war. Fallujah today has cancer rates worse than those in Hiroshima because of the chemical weapons American forces used there.

No matter how let down I feel by him, I’ll never see a Bernie speech & not remember that bird landing on his podium. That moment it all felt almost divinely ordained. But the Dems had to have it their way and just look at where we are now. We saw it coming. And now it’s here.
