      Nah, see what fake progressives do is talk a big game, then during their acceptance speech they say “good game, opponent” and make it clear they’ll listen to everyone. Once they made the sale, they stop selling… They don’t want people to remember the campaign promises, they go back to vibes

      Mamdani doubled down, he was like “look at all these people who tried to ratfuck me and we still won! Okay, so remember, the plan is free buses, free childcare, raise taxes on the wealthy a little, and maybe test to waters see if I can talk the NYPD into fighting ICE”

      I don’t know how the guy keeps it up. I thought he’d take a few days to sleep or something, but he’s still everywhere somehow

        Bud, he’s not actually IN OFFICE yet. Maybe give him a few months before you throw yourself at him.

        I’m glad he won, but lots of people—most people imo—stop at that

          Yeah, exactly… He won and didn’t take a break, he kept the momentum up

          The day after his victory, he got on stage and laid out his game plan. For the next few months he’s building out his staff and meeting with key people… Which is boring, but that is how you get an agenda passed

          Normal politicians would be doing a victory lap, he’s using the energy of a big win to build his narrative

          Politics move on momentum and stories. It’s ok to believe in things, and in people, in fact it’s necessary if we don’t want to continue to let the world rot around us

      Yea, but he’s an anarcho marxist radical Islam fundamentalist, self described Jew hating socialist leader of antifa who just waisted 40 million dollars of AIPAC money.

      The only thing he has to do to move further to the right is fart on live national television like Donald Trump always does.
