Do you know how often bourgeois democracies elect “socialists”? Hell, many of them even elect “communists” on the regular. It’s normal. Get over it. Please.

EDIT - there are basically two main genres of Mamdani poster, both of which keep scrawling MAMDANI on the wall in their own excrement for different reasons, and they all seem to be assuming I am from the other side lol

    Sorry, did you see the same thread when he was elected about how important a watershed it was? We have paid employees who knew the man personally on this site, some people have certainly elevated him above the imperialist warmonger we understand all democrats to be

        I think the disconnect in perception here might be because you didn’t see a lot of the really early Zohran arguments on here. People definitely defended him a lot.

        267 upvotes and was pinned to the front page. The average democrat doesn’t get that treatment here. I see that it’s older than your account but that may be the disconnect

        Again with the communism strawman. It’s people claiming the label socialist before warping it to mean nice progressive democrat. We push back on people like the American communist party who appropriate leftist language for nationalist goals, why would we permit Bernie, AOC, Mamdani to do the same with actual power and offices?
