    Trump wrecked the Republican Party that turned out great for them. I have been waiting for somebody to wreck this party.

      FR and given Republican attraction to strong and religious male leaders, Mamdani might actually sweep the generals.

    Shocking stupidity or malicious compliance? 👀 Let’s hope it’s the latter, lol.

    Edit: oh wait, it’s Fox News, it’s definitely the former.

      just dumb

      when the system is so shitty, you don’t get access to quality talent to work for you.

      not saying that you can’t be evil and creative, just that when you are trying to be that evil, you can’t get proper talent

    I like how the Republicans are painting him as a Communist, when they are the ones supporting Communist regimes. From what i heard from him, he’s a Democratic socialist, that’s pretty much the standard here in Europe. good on NY. If you think about it, not even the Millionaires want to live in the middle of desperate poor people… some has to be given back to society.

    I’m super conservative and don’t live in NYC but am really enjoying this election result.

          Projection maybe? NYC is already a corrupt shit hole. There’s not much left to destroy. I’ve lived there and it sucks. You literally get black gunk in your nose from the poor air quality. You can never see the stars. Everyone there is high on copium thinking just because they ride a subway to work they are saving the world. In reality NY is a big pile of trash. Perhaps the most unnatural living conditions of any “city” I’ve ever visited. Furthermore a Muslim with no love for Israel won the primary. It’s going to be wild to see how that goes. More Jews live in NYC than Tel Aviv.

        Because Democrats are dealing with someone that doesn’t fit their mold. He’s a product of their policies and philosophy but doesn’t walk the party line. Meanwhile mainstream Conservatives are making up reasons for why they are so upset that a super liberal city elected a super liberal which should be expected. The reality is they are dancing around the fact that he’s not submissive to the Israel lobby and that makes them freak out. He’s liberal sure but he’s a liberal that’s not going to be kissing a wall anytime soon.

          Liberals are center-right. Anti-regulation, anti-guardrails, anti-equity, anti-accountability, etc. Like conservatives, they are defined by all the things they are against. Mamdani is thankfully not liberal, which is precisely why he has voters excited while liberals and conservatives are having meltdowns.

              I really don’t. Words do have meanings. If you use the wrong words people are going to assume you are talking about the things you are actually saying because they have no way of knowing what’s in your head.

              Just ask my wife if she knows what I mean when I ask if she knows where “that doohickey” is. And that’s a fair bit better than a stranger on the internet talking about a “screwdriver” when they really meant “band saw.”

              Edit: Also, Lemmy users are almost always on the same page when it comes to the word “liberal.” Even tankies agree on that one.

                Liberal is culturally interchangable the term “progressive”. Intellectually the “progress” inevitably leads to socialism. This guy is someone who is unashamedly taking that next step. I suppose we agree that he’s being intellectually and spiritually honest in doing so. Most of the time the socialism/communism talk is simply used to entice the masses and drum up votes. He seems earnest in that from what I know.

    If ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER actually destroys the GOP, I won’t complain. If he needs to stomp the current DEMs into the ground for that, well, that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

      I would celebrate if he destroys the DNC as well. Burn it all down and start from scratch.

        Nah, we just need a purge. Mumdani is the new spiritual leader of the party, the rank and file are signalling a pivot, and the leadership are some of the most hated people in America

        I think the biggest threat is someone like Gabe Newson managing to take the reigns as a “centrist”.

        But the old guard is pretty much done for. There’s way too much public demand for fighters, and the current leadership are collaborators

    Earning a nickname like that from Fox News would be a crowning achievement for me.
