        He said he’d do X. People voted him to do X. He’s doing X.

        What is your actual problem with the guy? “He might do Y”, where Y is what you would be getting with any other candidate anyway, seems like a weird thing to worry about.

            Do you have a rifle ready to fight that fight? Do you even live here? Or is it just fun to wish for blood in someone else’s streets?

            This is the dumbest shit I’ve read all week. The bourgeoisie already had their game locked down. That’s why they wanted Cuomo and after Mamdani beat him once the bourgeoisie still backed Cuomo in hopes of the second time going differently.

            The bourgeoisie didn’t need Mamdani to get what they want. Of they wanted to use Mamdani as an example that left populist policies don’t work then Mamdani shouldn’t be winning this much. If Mamdani does X and then in the future becomes Y then nobody is going to think socialism is a failure, they’re going to view Mamdani as a traitor the same way they view Fetterman as a traitor.

            You have to sniff some heavy duty conspiracy glue to believe Mamdani is some kind of a capitalist plant. It’s far more likely you’ve been radicalized to a point where anything less than a full blown revolution is not a step in the right direction. That’s not healthy.

            also, ok, what happened to sinema, what’s gonna happen to fetterman, etc. even in your made up hypothetical there’s a very easy solution that everyone here except you can see because it is real and it happened

            it isn’t in state and revolution but it is in observable reality
