Zohran Mamdani on affordability, billionaires, and fighting hate | Morning Edition | NPR YouTube video by NPR

NPR + Zohran 🔥 youtu.be/pR2b1ZOM8UE?...

The useless corporate media paying 10,000 times more attention to this story than the fucking president of the United States calling for American Citizens to be sent to foreign gulags. Fucking complicit.

It’s hard to think of a better encapsulation of the Democratic Party right now than a 13-post rationalization for why doing nothing is actually the smartest move.

you should be chastised for being a more educated individual and refusing to educate others because they are ignorant and act ignorant

As I said, you can’t cure ignorance with arrogance

Marxist-Leninism is focused on execution (creation) and stability of leftist society, it’s not fascism. Would love to talk more in detail.

You bet man, we have to work on our messaging. That’s why I like Hasan because he’s great at it.

I’m not a ML either really, I don’t identify with anything specific I’m just a socialist.

I bet I could have a more productive conversation with this person than you based on your default outlook of everyone is a liberal. It’s not helping.

If you think a social democrat or democratic socialist likes being called a liberal or identifying with them you are clearly wrong as the thread shows.

Equally there is an issue with disavowing Maoism as a dumb idea on his end.

Yeah his Maoist comment was stupid and shows a lack of education. Pretty common amongst American leftists who have the right idea wrong execution.

You have to educate, not demean. Plenty of MLs and Maoist’s who are just as reductive and arrogant.

Okay man. Keep up this attitude and bury leftism in the dirt. You’re doing purity politics. Marxism has come in many shapes and sizes, literally countless. You are in DSA. Go ahead and call everyone who isn’t in the ML caucuses in your chapter a liberal. Reductive BS. Good luck with this attitude.

Clearly Mr DNA here likes Fred Hampton and he shouldn’t be called a liberal for comparing him to Zohran even if it is not an apt comparison

Either educate people on critical Marxism or just don’t say anything. Calling someone a liberal because they like Zohran and don’t understand revolutionary Marxism and its applications is fucking stupid.

Don’t be reductive man. Not everyone is a fucking Maoist revolutionary Marxist and not everyone who is left leaning has that education to understand.

Being a libertarian socialist, social democrat, or dem socialist is a huge step forward for our political window.

We are building a coalition.

One cool thing is that because of Zohran people are googling socialism and communism for themselves

does anyone still use this app or is it just completely dying?

The problem with the current moment is that we're going to have to eventually stop comparing this to Nazism because what is occurring here is increasingly an organic, native grown version of fascism, with our own variants of blood libel and designated out groups beyond just Jews.

Riley Gaines: NYC is so screwed Qt: Did Zohran Mamdani also beat you at swimming

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Comparisons between ICE deportations and nazi germany are "hyperbolic" and "put you in a bad light with the moderates" but comparisons between a brown guy with leftwing opinions and nazi germany are fine I guess jesus fuck

The United States needs more immigrants because Americans aren't having enough babies.

Also, it's entirely possible Americans aren't having enough babies because too many are on social media complaining about immigrants.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Onward to November.

PSL’s issues don’t stem from liberalism for what it’s worth. I don’t like critiquing other leftist orgs publicly as I’m a DSA member but I would be open to having this conversation privately with anyone interested.

If you’re going to bitch and moan about DSA please provide the name of the org you think it would be better for socialists and communists to work with. If you’re going to say none I’d prefer you just scrolled

with Zohran winning the NYC election, I hope some of our fellow terminally online leftist ideology puritans are considering joining the DSA instead of yelling at DSA from the sidelines that they don’t do enough as an org.

Get serious. Get active. It’s our time!

Let us not forget Israel has illegally proliferated their own nuclear weapons

reminder that there is not one individual or country more responsible for this war with Iran than Donald Trump. He ripped up the poison pill nuclear deal and got us to this point.

is this really what you’re concerned about right now?

is this actually your take on the situation?

this is like watching journalists in 2003 justify invading Iraq.

Gavin Newsome sucks, but when there’s a well groomed pit bull biting your enemy’s leg then you let him have at it
