Comment on Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?

  I live in New York and voted for him.

  Mamdani barely squeaked in. He got 51% of the vote running against a known molester and a radio host in a funny hat. Harris got 65% of the NYC vote and Biden got 80%.

  Don’t confuse one battle with winning the war.

  Mamdani literally strategically avoided a fight with Hakeem Jefferies because it’s not the time.

    When is? After Trump fabricates an emergency and subverts elections with some rebranding of martial law?

      No, no. When the country is even more in shambles, that’s when we’ll have the right where we want them. In this day and age of nearly instant information and social isolation you really gotta look to a time when newspapers, word-of-mouth, and rumors were the glue to a social hierarchy that was barely trying to remove slavery from its scaffolding. That’s what you really need to imitate, the past where brown people paid the heaviest price for not rocking the boat too much. Remember: Think of how much it upset the 1800s popular white vote, pay no attention to the popularity of progressivism, and don’t. rock. the boat.
