Oh wow.
‘Mandani isn’t left enough for me.’
What planet are you from?
Freezing the rent on rent controlled apartments has been done by many mayors including Bill de Blasio.
Kansas City has free busses.
I can’t believe the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that you can’t even imagine someone being to the left of de Blasio or Kansas.
If you read my comment carefully you’ll see I’m not talking about Blasio or Kansas I’m talking about Mamdani.
I read it carefully enough to notice you didn’t specify which of his campaign’s policy positions you consider extreme left. So I assumed you were talking about his main ones.
Perhaps you could clarify? Is it government-funded childcare?
Taken as a whole they’re pretty left so there’s no need to point out specific ones.
.ml users tend to be Marxist-Leninists (hence .ml), so when they complain that someone is not "left enough", it's a code to mean is that the person is not a Marxist-Leninist/communist who wants to instigate an armed revolution, overthrow the system, and then seize the means of production. The thing is, many Americans could distinguish the difference between communists and socialists. Even the Fox news survey showed most young people support socialism, while only few support communism. I imagine ML clutched their pearls as hard as the conservatives upon learning of the survey.
Actually I think Marxist-Leninists and Black Maoists and anarcho-communists all have good ideas.
I'm really a centrist if you think about it.
.ml users are basically conservatives who want free money.
centrists know that money is for netanyahu and won't use it for anyone else's benefit.
