Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation?

  I guarantee you Mamdani did not win because people are radicalized.

  But I agree people are being radicalized. Cuomo’s had to kill everyone’s grandmother and Trump had to basically bring the empire to reality for Mamdani to win.

  Let’s make a prediction here. I bet Mamdani is going to get crucified. The Lefts lack of awareness and ability to do what I’m saying which is control zones online will contribute massively to Mamdani failing. The right will pull every thing they can and sabotage him. The left having failed to build any networks will not be able to control the public opinion and will watch their one shot to show a more leftist politician can be successful.

    There have never been left presidents in the US. Mamdani is not the leader of the revolution. You’re very confused about what’s going on, and you’re out of touch with why Trump won. It wasn’t “memes,” it isn’t some masterful play, nor are liberals left wing.

    You need to take a step back and familiarize yourself more with what’s going on. Try to take a materialist outlook, not an idealist outlook.

      Where the hell was it said he’s a leader of any revolution.

      There’s no confusion. You’ll either wake up one day and realize how late to the party you all are.

      I have taken a step back which is why I’m able to see the issue. The problem is you’re in it. You have blinders on.

      The left is cooked. You’re highlighting exactly why. The left act like we don’t have decades of marketing and behavioral science that shows how to influence people.

      Keep showing up for those protests and door knocking and when you lose, blame those low information voters and idiots who keep beating you while doing none of what you’re doing

        You’re extremely confused, I’m not blaming “low information voters” of any sort. Electoralism is not a valid path for leftism. I’m not using a money excuse, either, though your erasure of money’s influence on media is also oversimplified. You haven’t taken any steps back, you’ve invented a caricature of “the left” in your head and are acting like you’re the only one to see things as they really are. It’s very silly.
