Don't forget the Israel lobby.
I give lemmy 365 days, tops, until we utterly despise the man for making political compromises.
I've already seen comments here that say he's toxic, simply because he's a politician.
Referring to tankie users/communities is cheating.
I mean, that is fair criticism.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a politician.
that's the way. not ironically or sarcasm. leaders aren't our allies, they are intrinsically antagonistic to the public.
we must elect who we will fight against. then keep the pressure on them.
might elaborate later. can't write an essay rn.
I agree, to an extent. If you decide not to support them because of one thing though, and decide you won't change your opinion, that isn't helpful though. If you aren't winnable then you don't matter. You need to hold them to account, but not be so strict you're a waste of effort. You need to be a target that they can actually hit, or they will move to a group that is winnable (or they'll lose and you'll get their opponent).
Everyone is chronically upset on the internet is what I have learned
Some people hate things as a hobby. I say that a lot, and I'm really serious.
Some people play video games, watch movies, or read books, and other people just hate stuff. That's their whole thing. They seek it out. They doom scroll until they find something to hate, and then they latch onto it and spread that hate wherever they can. Most of them don't even realize they're doing it.
I've seen so many good things fall apart because of this internet hate machine. It's sad.
Yup. It’s absolutely going to happen. They’re already turning on AOC.
Forgot Hakeem Jeffries.
That tracks… He’s proven himself to be quite forgettable.
Who?
Jeffery Hakim, not to be confused with Jeffery Epstein.
He endorsed Mamdani though
Did he?
October 24th he did, but I don't really believe it was for genuine reasons.
Never too late. Until it is.
I love how upset the old guard is about Mamdani. Fuck every single one of them.
