Expect a similar tack (or radio silence) from Mamdani

And your immediate instinct may be “oh it’s the New York crimes, nothing they write is true,” then he should simply endorse the man. Especially now that he’s won

Mamdani not following DSA line should be humiliating for the entire organization.

Why? That's how it's structured on purpose. If you could be compelled to follow the party line, that would be Totalitarianism!

It’s possible he surprises me and suddenly endorses his comrade. But we’ll see

[–] jack@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How can you be someone's comrade when nothing binds you together?

Despite the heavy irony behind my use of the word here, don’t they share an organization?

"organization" seems pretty generous when discussing DSA

Why are we asking a mayor about his opinions on the speaker of the house I am going to flip my shit

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They’re both DSA members in New York running against establishment figures?

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the guy would be leaving the city council, depriving Mamdani of a guaranteed ally. This is way more relevant than asking him about international stuff.

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fair I just feel like I'm tired of seeing this guy haha but yeah it's relevant here apparently

Because if they don't constantly manufacture scenarios in which he has to Say The Right Thing or be Evil then people might actually support him
