      I’m really confused that the libertarian seems to be differing from the Democrats in the meme when Mamdani won the primary and is endorsed by the Democrats. I’m not doubting there are people who typically vote blue who wouldn’t like him (and some might not even vote because of it, or prefer Cuomo), but they certainly don’t fit the stereotypes of the characters on the left in this meme.

      This is just “It’s too late democrats, I’ve depicted you as the foolish soyjak and the libertarians as the noble chad.”

        But how is that in any way compatible with libertarianism?

        I presume not “libertarian” in the old sense of anarchism. Even that doesn’t particularly like electoral politics at all.

          I don’t have to agree with everything Mamdani says to realize that the establishment Democrat party is incapable of standing up to this administration. Hence the whole political pluralism thing.

            Libertarians are overwhelmingly siding with republicans. Doesn’t that mean anything?

              Uh no. Does the USSR mean anything when talking to an anarchist?

              Trans rights are human rights Free Palestine. Abolish ICE.

              That any clearer for you?
