The softest interview I could have possibly imagined from these two "socialists". They did not give two fucks about this guy's service to American Empire or how many Iraqis he killed as a machine gunner in Falujah. Instead they just accepted his line about his time as a military contractor being another example of corporate consolidation.

I'm Irrationally angry right now. What the fuck.

Why doesn't anyone use the "he's never had a real job without government help" line on him?

15 years of mostly being a stormtrooper, interspersed with going to college on the GI Bill, then 2 years after that he's suddenly a business owner, but not a very successful one, making a large part of his living from "disabled veteran" benefits.

Mamdani, at least, has done more good for the world in ~6 years of being a housing advocate, but he's the one that gets scrutinized.

Mamdani is a social democrat barely pretending to be radical, which is threatening to the DemoKKKrats because they are the party of nothing ever changing (the only reason they ever do anything is they were bribed by someone who stands to make a short-term profit).

Platner is an SS stormtrooper war criminal who can barely contain his desire for the deaths of Arab children, which is a circular venn diagram with most of the core DemoKKKrat values.

Have you considered that brown muslims are scary?
