Yeah but, Kamala outspent Trump by a wide margin. She had all the celebrity endorsements… and she failed miserably. More money is NOT the answer.

Mr. Mamdani thanked the former president for the call, the people said, and told him that he had drawn inspiration for his own recent speech on Islamophobiafrom Mr. Obama’s speech on race during his first presidential run.

This is literally the only reaction from Mamdani cited in the entire article. It seems like the kind of thing you would say if a powerful person in your industry endorsed you. He even pivoted to Islamophobia.

Seriously, your take is so braindead. You’re editorializing like crazy and you just sound like some kind of establishment dem bad actor.

Remember when he claimed that magnets stop working if they get wet?

You realize you’re advocating for covert, top down regime change, right?

Not very democratic of you, mate

Would you consider Obama a liberal? Because the ACA was literally designed to funnel tax money to his big-dollar donors in the private sector.

And lol “a political scientist, a Marxist, and a teen walk into a bar…” What an utterly incoherent perspective jfc

It was an approximation. I don’t remember who exactly recreated the drawing, but the only difference between that and the actual one is that the woman’s body in the actual letter looks decidedly less… “mature”.

Having just been in Murfreesboro a couple days ago, lemme tell ya, that temple adds a lot of much-needed class…

The Ballad of Starheal and Tata

people like you are responsible for everything we’re seeing now.

The feeling is mutual, friend.

the ‘greater American public’ have time and time again shown they are not interested in a progressive candidate

Haha aw thanks mate I needed a good laugh today!

The alternative is the Dems adopting a legitimate progressive platform. Liberals will stand on their heads before they support a progressive candidate. Case-in-point Zohran Mamdani.

There’s a clear path for gaining the support of the the greater American public. They kneecapped Bernie in 2016 and they’ll do it again and again until we make it clear we won’t budge. If Newsome runs for president we are virtually guaranteed a Vance presidency in 2028. Mark my words.

So if every state adopts this style of hyper-partisan gerrymandering, why bother having state reps at all?

Remember when Newsome invited alt-right dickheads on his podcast and essentially asked, “how can dems be more like you?” Turns out he listened. Performative twitter trolling and undermining our representative democracy.

Fuck each and every neoliberal, and that goes double for Gruesome Newsome.

If Biden had done any-fucking-thing we wouldn’t be here. That’s what happens when you reap what the neoliberals sow.

Wow, nobody has a response to this. Hilarious.

Please enlighten me: what has Gruesome Newsome accomplished with regards to actual policy and legislation by adopting the same trolling methods of the far right?

He’s just pushing the Overton window further into insanity territory. You realize if everyone adopts gerrymandering it essentially just erodes another aspect of our representative democracy?

Fuck neoliberals. I didn’t vote for Kamala and I’m sure as hell not voting for Gavin “let’s have a chat with Nazis on my podcast” Newsome.

Okay, so by “Zionists” are you referring exclusively to members of the Israeli government or might there perhaps be a broader ideology at play here? The meme reeks of a Bernie Sanders-esqe “Netanyahu is the problem” kind of narrative.

I don’t care where they go, just leave the fucking indigenous people alone.

Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in that area together for hundreds of years. This is a political conflict. The fucking Israeli settlers are psychopaths who roll into towns and start setting things on fire. It’s about territory, like all colonialist aggression.

Just gonna leave this here…

June inspired it when she told Johnny “loving you is like being caught in a ring of fire”, but she didn’t write the song. It’s a common myth that she penned the actual song.

Yes my goal every day is to be condescending to some clueless Zionist libs on Lemmy.</s> Get over yourself it’s not about you. How would you feel if some 20 y/o IDF psycho was dragging your family out into to the street to kill them and throw their bodies in the ocean?

Personally, I’d rather die with a gun in my hand than on my knees watching my family get raped/murdered.

Remember when Israelis rioted for their right to rape prisoners? Look it up.

Literally nobody is “cheering on” Iran. As so many others have said, we’re cheering for the defeat of Israel. May they rot in hell.

Imperialist aggression is wrong. Full stop. You don’t get to murder a bunch of people because you claim the moral high ground on one issue. The US never “brought democracy to Iraq” either. They killed a million people and ran some sham elections for the optics.

Call me self-righteous all you want. You’re defending settler colonialist aggression. Give the Palestinians a chance at self-determination and stop murdering people in their homes. Then we can talk about LGBTQ rights.
