And? I live here. I like Mamdani. That doesn't change the veracity of what I said. Perhaps your own feelings preclude that.

I have cause to believe USA makes up their own meanings of words that has nothing to do with the rest of the world meaning. You can interpret that how you will.
I really love this meme. The self-defeating attitude that's been perpetuated by team Dem of "We've tried nothing that could potentially be useful and are all out of ideas!” has been swallowed wholesale, by us. Will getting ourselves out of this trap be painful, disfiguring for some, deadly for others? Sure. The other option is self-suffocating, slowly. Drowning by self-waterboarding.
Yeah that's the problem with American exceptionalists getting to redefine language: it doesn't work outside our walled garden, regardless whether the fruit is nourishment or poisonous.
Scratch a lib...
He's not a socialist.
Eventually we will get tired of our shit and do something about it. TF would others help us while we refuse to help ourselves? The rest of the world will contain us, much to the sociopathic capitalist class' delight.
It kind of is, but only one side has munitions.
Does it smell like a combination of Old Spice and English Leather?
Maybe financial interests?
Ding ding ding! This is the ends, the other things are the means.
The capitalist class can't make the machine run without unnecessary suffering and death. They used to be able to keep it out of sight in the global South and Asia. Through greed, they kept bringing more and more to the global West. Too many westerners still handwave it away and bury their heads, but as population, and thus unnecessary suffering and death increases, so too the population that doesn't look away and entertain themselves to stop thinking and talking about it. We are a threat, so expect worsening conditions to be rapidly escalated. That said, hold hope and keep working for a more equitable day.
Last I heard, he was calling himself soc Dem or Dem soc, both of which uphold the capitalist class. He's proposing good work to make a few inroads but not proposing his potential constituency own the means of production which is the definition of socialism.
