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.

Why do you think Trump won?

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.
