Progressive Politics

Everyone in NYC has an opinion about the Middle East, but Mamdani got elected because he said he will only work for the 5 boros. His focus is correctly on NYC, and that’s what he campaigned on. At the end of the day that conflict is half a world away; and we’ve got shit here we have for fix.

I doubt Israel and Palestine had that much of an effect on the New York city mayoral race. Just because this guy is Muslim they are making all these crazy assumptions. Frankly it seems a little racist at this point and super embarrassing to watch

Yes, committing active and rapid genocide out in the open will do that

“Andrew Cuomo, during the primary, attacked Mamdani as being insufficiently pro-Israel.

The most expensive primaries in US history were in 2024 where zionist supremacists/AIPAC funded DNC opponents to those insufficiently submissive to zionist first rule over America. The only successful attack campaigns were those that never mentioned Israel supremacy as an issue. Only other issues.

The Green party can win with 0 money by saying all Israel first loyalty oaths by politicians invalidate their citizenship and right to office. The DNC simply doesn't want to win. Like Chuck Schumer admission, the DNC exists to gaslight the left into being pro Israel. Fundraising is always nice, but winning is not the most pro Israel result.

Genocide will do that

I was kind of on Iseral's side in the beginning. 1200 dead for no reason?

Then I found out Iseral started murdering peaceful prostestors before Hamas came over. Fuck Iseral and their bullshit.

Committing genocide tends to turn the public against you.

And somehow that comment is antisemitic. Because the Nazis are Jewish now. I just want people to stop killing other people!

Me 3 years ago, somewhat ignorant: “I’m okay with sending bombs to Israel.”

Me, today: “I’m okay with ‘sending’ bombs to Israel.”

Younger democrats...18-49....the fuck. Doing some heavy lifting with that younger phrase calling 40-50 younger 😂

I mean, there wasn't an incredibly well documented, active genocide happening 8 years ago.

That has a lot of sway on public opinion.

So all of a sudden

Maybe something happened that caused the shift? Hmm, what could it be?

It's probably the escalation of the genocide. If Israel were to stop committing genocide and move to reconcile and take actions to prevent it in thr future I'm pretty sure most of us would be open to reevaluating our position. Plenty of us like the modern Germany after all.

I would say that the most telling thing is that there hasn't been a similar shift among Republicsns.

Anyone who can look at what Israel has done and is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza, and increasingly in the West Bank, without being filled with horror, revulsion and pity is a monster.

What's that bullshit about Mamdani facing criticism about not being outspoken enough against antisemitism?

What I think is most unbelievable is that the Israelis actually think people are buying their BS excuses. They really need to take lessons from Trump who apparently can make millions believe the most ridiculous lies.
