@Fedsuprealcz@NateSilver538 I get that slimy feeling from Gavin Newsom, I find Mamdani earnest and extremely easy to like though he has some really stupid ideas
I don’t know how to feel. I don’t like AES. Among leftists, I only like Mamdani he’s very easy to like. AES is kind of gratuitously hostile. I don’t think Mamdani has ever said anyone remotely personal about Chuck Schumer or Gillbrand even after they called him a jihadist. AES is also short tempered. Let’s see how it goes.
I thought I was warming upto leftists bc of how bad establishment was but then I watch Cori or Hong or AES and and realize I just only really like Mamdani on a personal level and leftists still mostly are bad. Even Mamdani has stupid policies like the grocery stores but I can’t get myself to dislike him.
I don’t like Cori Bush or AES. Among leftists, I only like Mamdani though he’s very easy to like. AES is kind of gratuitously hostile. I don’t think Mamdani has ever said anyone remotely personal about Chuck Schumer or Gillbrand even after they called him a jihadist. AES is also short tempered. Let’s see how it goes.
@jonathanchait@TVietor08 The fact that it is funded by aipac is just very ironic. I don’t understand why Steven’s doesn’t adopt Slotkins policy positions on Israel. Stevens is a genuine extremist when it comes to Israel even when compared to mainstream Dems. It’s sad the choices we have are so bad
@makosloff@averyfjames I think moderates should try to find their own charismatic figure who is good at politics. Being a good politician/charming and being moderate is not mutually exclusive. Bill Clinton and Obama prove it. Stop putting up old dud politicians with no charisma
@makosloff@averyfjames Why does a New York City mayor (deep blue city) have anything to do with the trajectory of a nation wide center left project? This is all so stupid. What does Mamdani have to do with any of this lol
@nicolegelinas@chayesmatthew What transit book have you written and where can I buy it?? I’m coming from Mamdanis stream where he name checked you for having written a book
@kidzoabund @mattyglesias They share some of the same bad politics but I agree and NYC is not a swing state but I agree Mamdani is very easy to like as a person
Leftist issue with Weiner has more to do with him sponsoring some bill in CA legislature that would censor pro-Palestinian activists and codify into law as antisemitism some criticism of Israel. I don’t think he’s changed his mind on that but he had been pretty hostile recently so it’s kind of hard to believe the change of heart
@HistoryBoomer There’s a conspiracy theory going around that actually there is nimby infiltration into Gaza agitators and they are using the Gaza issue to further the nimby cause lol. Look up what the guy who posted the same original video does, he’s a professional nimby activist!!
@jaredrfrancis@jbarro Don’t disagree but watching Mamdani occupy Gracie Mansion gives leftists a lot of genuine emotional satisfaction, they are not entirely faking it
@jbarro Skilled politicians like Trump & Mamdani moderate without declaring so in a manifesto while self declared centrist chuds write tedious manifestos that talented pols mock in interviews. Learn the lesson already https://t.co/NeB1J6hgvI
