Do these people expect the mayor of NYC to forcefully change the path of the entire nation overnight…?
Like he exists within the system we all hate. He is probably doing shit that he hates doing because there is another way to do the job. By virtue of him being a politician in this system, he has already surrendered some amount of his respectability and believability.
What do you expect to happen? Genuinely. Do you expect instant revolution?
People were expecting him to not be a “progressive” Zionazi…
Hot Take;
You don’t vote for a dem soc with the expectation that they are infallible or going to stick 100% to their word.
You vote for the dem soc because the alternatives (neo-liberals and fascists) are objectively worse by every metric.
Mamdani can backtrack on 75% of what he said and still be the most progressive mayor in NYC history.
One shouldn’t bitch and moan against those who supported him for supporting what he promised. Hold Mamdani accountable for his backtracking and failures and try for someone comparatively more progressive next time. Of one doesn’t pop up, keep with Mamdani until another pops up or he can’t run anymore.
Again, it’s not because Mamdani is amazing, but because the others are worse.
As is usual with succdems and their dumbsoc siblings
Fell for what, exactly?
Mamdani actually changing anything and not backpaddeling on most things
Have you read any Mamdani news?
What is it that you think the Mayor of NYC does?
Govern the city?! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Have you read any of the Mamdani news?
.
Enlighten me. What news are you referring to? He’s literally not mayor yet, and all I’ve seen is that he’s appointed Lina Khan and Ms. Rachel to his inauguration committee.
TL;DR from dogbert https://lemmy.zip/comment/23596122:
I think people were expecting him to not protect the super-zio NYPD commissioner. The switch up from “I will arrest Netanyahu” to coddling Zionists over the past couple months is pretty striking. Not sure why Zohran defenders are playing dumb about this.
Absolutely nobody thought a soc-dem mayoral candidate would be a revolutionary (except perhaps the liberals still defending him).
My comment:
If voting changed anything [systematically] it would be illegal
Just a few examples
Mamdani Suddenly Can’t Give a Straight Answer On His NYPD Promises
After NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch agreed to work in his administration, the mayor-elect has gotten cagey on disbanding the SRG, scrapping the gang database, and giving the CCRB the final say in police discipline.
