So Trump and Netanyahu are definitely going to call his bluff. He needs to prepare for how that will play out. So do we.

Mamdani has to get elected first, once that's achieved he can worry about such trivialities as reality.

He’s been the presumptive winner since his primary win. What data have you seen to suggest otherwise?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

I haven't seen any data. What I'm suggesting is that before being elected it's pretty easy to throw around promises. Especially if said promises are controversial and aimed at riling up your voter base. Of course if you're an orange taco you can apparently throw around whatever whenever, but I digress.

I want to see Netanyahu extradited to the Hague as much as the next person, but talk is cheap and the real world consequences can be dire.
