Socdems going to socdem I suppose. I always saw his campaign as a good way to actually push socialist ideas onto people, when he is constantly capitulating to the ruling class, despite his campaign promises, that's when our comrades in New York need to make sure the people around them understand why he isn't actually helping them and that you can't fix the system from within.

Just because well read socialists know that electoralism is a dead end doesn't mean that your average person does, so having an actual direct example of it not working is important for agitprop and education. How many people here are leftists because they were inspired by Bernie Sanders, or someone similar in their own countries/cities?

you hate to see it. You could have taken command of one of the juiciest mayoral seats in the world, could made a fucking mark on the nation's history. you could have had your own Red Guards one day if you called for them, the people are hungry man... they would defend you if you fed them.

Instead you will enjoy being bending over to the demands of your class enemies everyday. you were too libshit to embrace the beautiful power of the dictatorship of the proletariat, now your destiny is the dustbin like every other "social democratic" loser.

Putting all of this disgusting, western chauvinism aside, it is objectively funny that so much is being made of the political positions of a mayor (yes, I know context matters and he's the presumptive mayor of New York but still)

Imagine this much of a stink being made regarding the opinions of the mayor of Minot, North Dakota

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

he did it to himself. There's no reason he has to make these statements at all except to proclaim loud and clear to Democrats that they can trust him, that he's one of them

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As mayor of NYC, he would have over ten times the constituents of the entire state of North Dakota. Hell, he'd have a larger constituency than 38/50 governors.

I understand your point, but Minot is actually quite strategically important to the USA, as the nuclear capable B-52 Stratofortress bombers and Minuteman III ICBMs are based/controlled at Minot Air Force Base. So foreign policy would be very relevant in that case lol.

ofc

but people saying him not saying this wouldn't hurt his chances are wrong

Like lol he would definitely lose if he said the opposite (if he wasn't shot)

I was just watching a clip of jane goodall saying she would put "musk,trump ,putin ,president xi jinping and Netanyahu and his far right government on a spaceship and send them away forever"

it disgusts me that anyone would compare Putin to Netanyahu but I understand that in the eyes of dumb-ass westerners that putin is a dictator (not true) and that Russia invaded Ukraine

BUT saying Xi and then Saying Netenyahu and his far right government implies that a Chinese president is not ok but a "non far-right" israeli president is and it fucking pisses me off

here's the thing this person is not running for office ,she passed away just 6 days ago yet she still said this lib bs ,I am not stupid ,this shit is worse in the USA so yeah rant over

What a moron, just have no opinion and pivot the topic back to the office you're running for. Losing count of the unforced errors

Okay cool so now when they compare you to them they can quote you on them being dictators.

Whatever, nothing means anything anymore, why play traditional politics. Why any politics. But you know what I realized the other day about nothing meaning anything? The liberals got there first. They believed in nothing long before anyone else. And by sheer vacuum force of cynical will they dragged us into the nothing they created.
