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

Burlington, Vermont is a lot smaller than the financial capital of the world; and Bernie still got busy. Jessica Tisch’s opinions on international politics matter in her enforcement of local law in NYC, yet we’re supposed to pretend it’s irrelevant when he keeps her around or pushes the imperialist line on Venezuela . Are we claiming equivalent political weight between blue collar workers and mayor of one of the most important cities in the country?
