Mammy

Oh, I don't like that at all

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't that like a racial stereotype/slur or something?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup, the Mammy is another stereotype of black people, specifically black women

Honestly surprised that they thought calling him that was clever

[–] LargeAdultRedBook@hexbear.net 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These are the people calling us racist for standing against genocide.

It's like living in a cuckoo clock :pain:

My dog just started barking like crazy I wonder why

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 58 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Establishment Dems are pissing and shidding themselves scared over Mamdani and you love to see it

I know!

The author is a black man who writes for the National Review, so that might explain a few things...

The generations who voted for Mamdani, "David who?"

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure the politics nerds amongst us know who he is because he still crawls out of his bog every few years to endorse some local republicans who immediately try to shove him back down with sticks and brooms

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

didn't he endorse hillary or did I fever dream that?

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LOL he endorsed Jill Stein back in 2024

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

that might be what I was thinking of

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Tragically, David Duke is still alive.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 46 points 1 day ago

As the Nazis responsible for the modern holocaust, they are the best equipped to tell us who is less of a Nazi than them. When they call him David Duke they're saying he's infinitely less capable of committing the crimes against humanity they have.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point they would endorse David Duke over him any day of the week.

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought the point of this article was to say Zohran should be endorsed by Biden?

Nah, they are stating that the democratic party should treat Zohan as a threat on a level akin to how Republicans treated David Duke when he ran for governor in 1991 as a Republican. Basically they are stating that Dems endorsing a demsoc would be as morally corrupt as if the GOP had accepted the grand wizard of the kkk.

[–] prole@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are they even trying to say? David Duke? The KKK grand wizard?

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

They want the Democrats to buy his intellectual property and never do anything with it

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago

Someone put out a memo to the right/MAGA base that this is some how a good angle to take. A quick search found multiple posts referencing this comparison all from right commentators. They are so excited to have a boogeyman to scaremonger about.

Mamdani Pied Piper strategy lets-fucking-go

kelly Filler Article

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Joshua filler is a cancer that must be eradicated before it metastasizes, thankfully the chemotherapy is fairly simple and only requires highly accelerated lead

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

one of the funniest things ive learned in the last few years is theres a pro basketball player named David Duke Jr
