Mamdani defeated independent candidate Andrew Cuomo — whom Trump endorsed at the last minute — and Republican Curtis Sliwa, winning over a notable number of Trump supporters in the Nov. 4 election. NBC News exit polls found that 10% of New York City voters who cast ballots for Trump in last year’s presidential election voted for Mamdani.
This is what neoliberals are scared of.
It’s not just that Dem voters want to vote for progressives, even MAGA will.
Progressives blow up the two party controlled opposition strategy, because they’ll beat maga and neoliberals, and if they reach critical mass, shit will actually get fixed and no neoliberal or maga will ever hold a major seat of power again.
We’re at a major tipping point that could fundamentally turn the country around and back in a positive direction
they reach critical mass, shit will actually get fixed and no neoliberal or maga will ever hold a major seat of power agai
People are pretty stupid and would probably fall for maga bullshit again
Trump is a mentally declining egoist. I think this has the potential to be a masterful move by Mamdani. All he has to do is put on a bit of a show, and just stick to his affordability plans (an area Trump has been trying to hit lately) and maybeeee just maybe let Trump think it was his own idea, then bam.
If (big if I know) Trump echoes one of Mamdanis popular positions I bet TONS of right wingers would happily jump on board and the RNC wouldn’t be able to close that pandoras box, at least on that particular policy. The biggest road block is whichever of Trumps aides are with him. When they leave him alone it doesn’t seem to take much to convince him, like the 50 year mortgage story.
Trump will usually come out agreeing with the last person in the room to say something to him. He’s like a goldfish brain in that respect. So your advisor comment is very apt, will be interesting to see how this goes down.
The handful of MAGAs still left in my social feed jumped on releasing the epstein files as soon as Trump flipped. Shits hilarious. So yeah, I agree, trump’s statements are these people’s beliefs at the drop of a tweet
On the other hand, Mamdani is a brown Muslim socialist immigrant and Trump is an aspiring 21st century Hitler. Uh… I ain’t holding my breath.
I would never meet trump alone. He may report him right there for any reason.
Oh fucking hell
Be ready for him to somehow make this worse than the zelensky meeting
I’m so glad this aged like milk.
Trump was glazing Mamdani!
What assurances do we have that he won’t be arrested on some made up charge? I’d do a video call if it was me.
I’d actually riot if that happened.
