"well he helps manufacture consent for my imperialist shithole to ravage nearby third world countries and murder their civilians when they go fishing... but he makes the chuds mad!!"

I do not care about new york municipal politics, but everything i hear from his platform sounds nice, and just by proposing modest reforms he's causing an utter humiliation of the zionist media and political apparatus, and I think thats cool.

Well he's manufacturing consent for imperialist brutality against Venezuelan and Cuba just as america has recently murdered boatloads of Venezuelan fishermen in cold blood. That is chud behaviour. Do the reforms he proposed explicitly aim to stop supporting the zionist entity? Furthermore any reforms that were not won through scaring the bourgeois into concession via mass action, while good in the short term, are unstable and bound to be eroded.

Mamdani deciding to denigrate Venezeula at the moment is cowardly and disgusting. But he is a man running for municipal office in the US, not anyone who has foreign policy power or influence. (Although it would be nice if he was less of a coward)

And none of that takes away from what matters to me here, which is that him winning is directly showing that the zionist political apparatus is a paper tiger beatable by any level of real organising. Which is uplifting information (And also how mad the chuds were continues to be funny)

He does have influence on us "foreign policy" (imperialism + genocide) because he is a respected politician with a lot of media attention on him and is currently using this platform to manufacture consent for america's most recent war crimes.

It is chud behaviour to focus on repeating all the liberal slanders about venezuela to cover for the fact that his country just murdered fishermen in cold blood. When one does this, they are part of the problem.

Furthermore him winning shows the political advancement of the people of New York and their potential openness to actual leftist ideas. The vast majority of people in the anglosphere, despite the zionist medias best efforts, are waking up to the genocidal evils committed by the zionist entity because they are available live on social media. I'd say that him winning is more reflective of this. He is also a liberal zionist too so idk.

Which of his proposed policies would materially effect the zionist entity such that his election would be a blow to the zionist political apparatus?

I have no hope for an elected municipal officer in the us leading the fucking revolution. The very best you can hope for is sewer socialism.
However I can see the zionist apparatus get owned in the very heart of their power, and that is cool. If the entire zionist media apparatus turning their sights on New York and still getting owned doesnt bring you joy, then thats on you, not me.

Edit: And hey if in the process some poor people get affordable rent or cheaper public transport who am I to complain?

i feel like people are gaslighting us. nobody ever thought he would be the revolution, why are the criticisms on the basis of him falling short of that?

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

it's constant gaslighting from the electoralist crowd. Somehow their arguments keep somewhat working and people keep falling for the harm reduction and lesser evil crap over and over

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 1 points 6 days ago

harm reduction voting is when the only basis for voting is that candidate A is not (supposedly) worse candidate B.

harm reduction voting is not when the basis for voting is policies that will improve things somewhat for regular people.

the bizarro world version of the chuds who do stuff 'just to own the libs'

do you think this never-ending cycle of libs and chuds owning each other is helpful to us?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 1 points 6 days ago

"Noooo dont hurt the feelings of fascists :(" What fucking cycle? The chuds own the libs and the lib lash out at the left. There is no actual opposition to the chuds. This makes them sad, that is a good thing.
