    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.

              Ah ok. Sounds like they didn’t implement anything then. So we’re just making stuff up now. Gotcha.

                  This thread is about US politics. Go back to the first question I asked you. Also, Mamdani is in the US. I don’t know why we need to constantly pivot. I guess, on a global scale “akshually mamdani is center-left gosh”. Like, what an asinine useless take. Let me know when the rest of the world is ready to vote in us politics.

        Who was more far left than Mamdani in the last two decades? Can you give an example?

            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.

                THANK YOU

                    It’s so exhausting. The revolutionary cosplay is dialed to a ten. Every day I open Lemmy you’d think the streets are about to run red with blood of landlords any minute… Then I remember these are the same neckbeard basement dwellers masturbating each other on leninist theory while Marx looks down in disgust… Ugh
