I’ve been mentioning him because of how far left he has been or supposed to be. Sorry I’ve been digging at him, it would have been more critical of right wing Democrats if it wasn’t for the capitulation Mamdani himself pulled.

(Warning: the next few links involve Bad Empanada, he might be wrong about these, but I’ve admittedly been watching him a lot so he’s the first I think of when looking up the zionist stuff)

I will say that perhaps he’s playing the long game, whether we’re talking the major issues like the trans and zionist bits, where you have to look palatable to voters or to Trump or to the establishment, but first off, voters follow where the radicals go, and are happy to hear some give a shit about something, and trying to ally with Trump or the establishment seems suspect because those two groups do not want socialism to win no matter what. You just lose things.

The craziest bit too is while every Democrat seems at best very wishy washy about being anti zionist, the fascists have blatant and consistent critics of Zionism like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, but it the version of anti-zionism that the elites and establishment can get behind, which is actually anti-Semitic screeds about Jewish conspiracy theories rather than genuinely being against the genocides in the Middle East. It’s just this and the trans stuff (oh my fucking God the fact Harris and other Dems thought not talking about trans people and some conservative Texas ones thought we should call trans girls men is fucking insane) is making me feel black pilled about America ever getting out of where it’s at. 😭😭😭

Tl;dr: Mamdani depressed me so much because I believed so much in him because how far left he was supposed to be and is, and I cited stuff and then reflected on how it seems like fascists can do a better job at talking about Palestine than anti-zionists can, because they do it in the elite backed way by blaming Jews instead of seeing Israel as an American colonial project.

They might technically be different, but I’ve been getting horrible vibes from them after their 2024 loss. Gavin Newsom had been agreeing with fascists on how to rid of trans people, Mamdani has had no response to the hospital closures and instead had the AG strike the closure down while saying not much shit, the advisors to the Harris campaign were using the word “transgender” in a bad way that reminds me of conservatives, and the fact is there has been some Democrats involved with Epstein, especially the non progressive types. Also don’t get me started on anti-zionism, when progressives like Mamdani have almost completely rid of these bits, minus maybe a few aspects like saving a protestor and getting rid of some executive actions that Adams did. Mamdani also cut the library fund after criticizing Adams doing it. The Democrats have supported the genocide in Gaza during Biden’s years, and have been supporting the Iran and Venezuela invasions minus in how Trump did those invasions. The Democrats recently have also supported age attestation, similar to how Republicans supported ID verification for porn.

Look as a trans woman, it feels like I’ve been systemically backstabbed first by capitalists with the fall of rainbow capitalism, and then systemically by a Democratic party that wants to no longer oppose Trump and instead become blue MAGA and copy him, even on the “far left,” (Mamdani… Fetterman… Soon Graham Platner) to establish a new normal where internet fascism is the default policy and the US turns into the UK and the Democrats into the Labour party. And people like me and a friend of mine in Lebanon will all get slaughtered so socdem Americans can pretend to get closer to healthcare when the capital class will never let that happen no matter what.

What what do you mean? I’m kinda a bit dumb, like you mean Nazis alongside anyone that tolerated them means everyone is a Nazi, or what do you mean?

Communism never worked at all (crushing of communist revolutions and calling Cuba and pre-Maduro Venezuela bad, as much as the latter was anti LGBT which is a major problem), Israel has a right to defend itself, ignore the rapists alongside Epstein, Democrats and Republicans are different in their goals, regime change in other Latin American countries, communism killed more than capitalism (which is more debatable when you consider economic death in capitalism, but then again the holodomor was really really bad and targeted Ukraine, and don’t get me started on the Muslim genocide in China), Islam is violent, so on so on.

I think part of this is the losing of hope within the left in systems that aren’t more forceful like ML, due to the failures of the progressive capitalist/socdem/demsocs in going against fascist and imperialist policy. Also because literally Cuba good (hot take!!!), as much as any other examples of ML end up in corrupt leaders and violence (Laos being anti-LGBT at least, and don’t get me started on how China isn’t even really ML anymore but rather a capitalist fascist country in the skin of a socialist country).
