amazing, y’all are already talking shit about Mamdani.
Tankies gonna tank. Nothing is ever good enough for them unless it is Stalin or Mao themselves.
We shall never stop calling out any politician.
We are not celebrity worshippers, like you seem to be; it hinders progress.
We must always demand and force politicians to do the bidding of the poor and working class.
Mamdani is already showing signs of a careerist politician, similar to AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Obama.
pray, Mr. Lefty, which celebrity does it seem I worship?
That’s my whole point, you’re so tied up with your own purity tests that you’re shooting in a circle. Why do you think Trump won?
You are defending a politician instead of forcing them to the left.
I encourage purity testing; it keeps politicians in check.
Genocide Joe and Kamala were just status quo politicians and Trump's pseudo-populist talking points.
We have a broken system; the duopoly is owned and controlled by the oligarchy.
So again, we need to stop being celebrity worshippers and start forcing politicians to our demands.
