It is an actual tactic to associate radicals with moderates in order to make them look bad to their supporters. Look at the actual meat of the article:

And it's WILDLY SUCCESSFUL as he makes two of the most milquetoast "concessions" imaginable and half the people here who are all hyped up on the Mamdani train literally the week before act like he's fucking Mechahitler Zionismo III running to implement a hundred years of "you fell for it again" like fuck off you dumb motherfuckers, christ, if Im ever running for election you can take it to the fucking bank not a single person on here will be advising me because some of y'all wanna beat the fucking Democrats on Losing Elections, just in a way that lets you go "death to the 1st world unlimited kkkrackkker genocide" on national tv (while you lose an election) because SOME OF Y'ALL SEEM TO THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT AHHHHHHHHHH

I appreciate the freudian slip of comparing advocating for the Intifada to advocating for genocide. Very moderate and electable.

The complaint is about him backing down on the intifada issue, and you compared it to wanting a campaign that:

lets you go "death to the 1st world unlimited kkkrackkker genocide" on national tv

Dawg that’s not what they meant. Respectfully, you’re splitting hairs here.

All I said was that it was a nice freudian slip, because what he actually meant was still to compare Mamdani's reasonable or even slightly conciliatory position to something that only the most pathetically brain-poisoned internet maoists say.
