They're mad that the communist can actually do the bipartisanship they always are hounding after.

"We have differences, but we both are motivated to look good, so let's focus on that" goes a whole lot farther than just tailing Trump's platform and talking points like a sad puppy for 10 years.

At the same time, imagine going ahead with meeting Trump. I get why he did, but ughhh

honestly it might be an effective strategy for keeping trump off his back, winning him over with a little charm.

Sheinbaum has been effective with it

The big difference is that Sheinbaum is the president of a sovereign country that, while being dependent on the United States, also holds significant bargaining chips that can be leveraged against Trump. Mamdani has no such leverage so I think they aren't comparable.

Its comparable in the sense of "trump doesn't care about anything policy wise besides his he felt about the last person he talked to"

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not to overintellectualize Trump or fall into the Varoufakis trap of thinking everything is 5D chess, but I don't think it's good strategy to assume your enemies ignore material reality in favor of vibes.

Partly agree but he's also a very foolish person from everything I've seen in the past decade

If anything i think this only makes the case for Mamdani and Trump meeting stronger
