Zohran Mamdani has destroyed that argument already.

Not only that, but her specific district is overwhelmingly Latino. The way the district lines are formed almost looks like it deliberately avoids the Jewish enclaves. She isn't doing this to please her constituents; she has grander political ambitions and sees this as a prerequisite to gaining favor with the party brass.

I completely agree with him on that.

but, does a mayor has any power to do any of that?

What impact does Zohran Mamdani realistically have over weapons sent to Israel?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean his full boycott on Israel until it follows international law which goes far beyond a simple weapons emargo?

Are these policy plans of his?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
