He described the major pro-Israel lobby as an organization “for whom the only thing more frightening than democracy being allowed to run its course is an end to genocide and Netanyahu’s wars.”
Europe is in decline. It used to have people much to the left of Mamdani who implemented the socialist policies, but neoliberalism has been slowly eroding all of Europe and it is turning into the USA.
That is why Mamdani is now center-left in Europe. In the past he would just be a centrist or even center-right with his current policies. Everything is relative.
Compare Mamdani for example to Mechelon in France and Mamdani is clearly far to his right.
Of course but the argument is that Mamdani is nowhere near the edge of leftism. Politicians with far more leftist policies than him have existed and succesfully implemented many. It is not a mythical pipe dream.
Ok. That’s a nice analysis to have for the history books. The US electorate can’t remember what happened 6 mos ago. Can we take this win with Mamdani? Can we take this one win please? Can we not purge him yet? Is that ok? I understand he’s not the perfect leftist. I get it. Can we just take this and work with it?
I’m sorry if my tone sounded harsh. It was mainly addressed for the rest of LEMMY that can’t seem to understand how to build electoral power and move the goddamn overton window - LIKE AT ALL.

In the last two decades in US politics? Like who? Name one
Try thinking outside of the two party system.
Yea? What have they “successfully implemented” in the US?
Nothing because you keep yelling at them to vote for Hillary
Ah ok. Sounds like they didn’t implement anything then. So we’re just making stuff up now. Gotcha.
Do you think the US is the entire world?
