He has endorsed them before they went hardcore off the rails and mamdani is getting critical support because he is the first time leftist ideas are even talked about in mainstream media.

How about you stop pretending as if we are in the times of lenin and that socialism is acceptable to even utter. Currently we are nothing.

Leftist ideas need to become acceptable first before we can even start thinking in terms if "social fascist". Someone like bernie was important so that we can now have a mamdani so that we can have some actual moderate-radical socialist in the future. The next one after that, we can start talking about marxist-leninist and revolution again once we built up an actual base that can be convinced to stand behind socialist ideals.

Educating the masses should be top priority and people like bernie and mamdani are perfect for exactly that: palatable to the liberal because they are ineffective and allowed to speak because they bend the knee to the fascists eventually. You can use them to spread ideas and point to them to say that "you think they are radical? They still bend the knee and still didn't help you. We need to be more radical than even that!"

I think that is the true value behind a mamdani. A trojan horse into the mind of the liberal.
