Cool. Now let's also say what we're all thinking: Trump should be in there with him. Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.

MODERATORS
Nah, there's a balance to Mamdani, too extreme and Trump will send Meal Team 6in after him and make some public example of him.
Mamdani is biding his time and building a base at the hopes of a newer, better, less-bought Democrat party by the next election. He can't do that from a blacksite in chains.
if we ever have another fair election,... if anyone considers what we had as fair.
Moderation is called "balance" when you like a candidate.
After seeing the Russian Tails in the numbers for 2016, 2020, and 2024 favoring Trump. It's for sure feels like we haven't seen a fair election in over a decade and I currently question our elections and think they are illegitimate. And that's not even going into the known cheating that happened in Ohio that helped Bush get into office(or the Florida shenanigans from the same election for that matter).
So yeah, I think Trump cheated with Russia's(and/or Israel's) and Elon's help is illegitimate. Though to be fair he was illegitimate after trying to spawn and insurrection, and should have been hanged for High Treason already.
We havent had a fair election in my entire life. Bush straight up stole the election from Gore, and even if theres none of that extreme blatant stealing, everything is rigged so hard in favor of republicans, from voting booth locations, to gerrymandering, to right wing thugs being intimidating, etc etc.
Imagine a world where Al Gore won in 2000, and Bernie Sanders in 2016. Sigh...
Can't change the past though. Might as well wish Jimmy Carter beat Reagan in '81, and JFK and LBJ both served two full terms...
It's crazy to think how different the world could be if a few evil republicans didn't ratfuck everything.
Nixon, Reagan, Bush2, and tRump. The sheer amount of the world's woes that can be laid squarely at the feet of just four people is astounding...
It's not like they didn't have help. But if it weren't for those four presidencies, so much shit never would have happened...
Valid as fuck set of points. You're not wrong.
Yeah, except he's apparently alive and the 2008 and 2020 elections weren't included in his list.
You're going to need to elaborate, you've lost me with what exactly you're trying to get at with being so vague. Traditionally you use the subject's name, before switching to pronouns so the reader knows who the fuck you're talking about.
This is not hard to follow. You responded to someone, your comment appears below theirs. I responded to you, my comment appears below yours. Notice how this trend continues.
How is he "right" in saying there has "never" been a fair election in his lifetime but he's not including two of them? Has he died and come to life repeatedly?
Just because Dems win, doesn't make them fair. Gerrymanding is a very unfair tactic, and Republicans have been disenfranchising voters since before I could vote. And if they cheated, in 2004, why the fuck would they not continue to cheat in every election afterwards? It's a valid logic path to follow, and to assume that every election is likely unfair and has only gotten more unfair since then.
2020 was won by Biden, but in no way was the election fair. Trump did everything in his power to interfere, and would have won if not for covid basically enforcing nationwide mail in ballots, which turns out to be pretty hard to cheat. Though we did find millions of ballots in ditches, and various other places that never got counted (Edit: In 2024). So yeah... Maybe you're just ignorant of all the data points?
Russia's disinformation attempts isn't voter fraud and we're really shooting ourselves in the foot by replicating their "stop the steal" nonsense.
Preferably in the same cell
C'mon, this is elementary stuff. You don't want to give them the opportunity to coordinate their lies.
Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.
If you think trump is not gonna stop giving that sloppy toppy to netanyahu irl then you have a more favourable view of politics then I do
Hah. It wouldn't be awkward cos they'd be fucking! Haha.
No he doesn't, he belongs 6 feet under.
I don't know what I'd prefer, him rotting 6ft under or rotting behind bars. Knowing the global prison system and the privileges given to rich/well connected people I'd probably want the former tho
I think he should be sentenced to the same war crimes he committed.
How much do you want to bet a Mossad agent has had him in his sights before?
I’m shocked everyday that there ain’t an assassination attempt on him. My politics are more extreme than his but his platform is violently opposed to the status quo and its overlords
Most assassination attempts are by nutjobs, not some intricate conspiracy. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not always.
Because that would be instant martyrdom and would further the movement. I guarantee Isreal, republicans and democrats are all looking at him like a hawk waiting for him to slip up. They can't just kill him, he needs to be tarred and feathered and his beliefs discredited.
We're just lucky he's such a baller you can't catch him slipping.
Do you mean to say they're trying to catch him riding dirty?
We can't let mayors do that kind of shit though. You know how many yee-heil podunk mayors out there would start arresting every unauthorized tan?
He's the mayor for more people than several US governors are governors for
Wyoming still hasn't hit one million
Also, those good ol' boy, wannabe Boss Hogg mayors would do that anyway
Gee, we gotta abolish Wyoming
I'd say he's free to express his opinion as he isn't in charge of arresting him against the will of the admin. The MAGAs do this all the time or I did I get something wrong?
To say someone isn't welcome in your city is within the range of things a major should be allowed to do imho.
Here comes to the excuse train.
Mamdani is right but you are more right.
Two years ago, I would have said he is Pali-pilled beyond reach.
Now I think he is simply stating a fact.
Sadly this isn’t some new development after Oct 7, the Nakba was in 1948 and the details we now know of Israeli atrocities from that event are truly horrifying. The Israelis have been brutally terrorizing their neighbors for over 75 years, Bibi is just a natural extension of that campaign of terror. Israel is the most egregious terrorist organization in the world, bar none.

Oh I can think of a much better place for Netanyahu to be...
I need some rop and a strong branch
Didn’t this guy promise he’d arrest him? More sloppulist fallacies?
Point to were he made that promise... I'll wait. He basically said he would if he could and then confirmed what everyone already knew. That he doesn't have the authority to do so.
Yes. This is his further affirmation of that promise. However he can only do it now if Netanyahu comes to New York (which he probably won’t do)
He literally says in the video he cannot arrest him.
No, the New York Post made a scare-tactic article about Mamdani saying he would. It wasn't meant for you.
Article is authwalled. Can someone post its full contents in the comments?
