Cool. Now let's also say what we're all thinking: Trump should be in there with him. Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.
Nah, there's a balance to Mamdani, too extreme and Trump will send Meal Team 6in after him and make some public example of him.
Mamdani is biding his time and building a base at the hopes of a newer, better, less-bought Democrat party by the next election. He can't do that from a blacksite in chains.
if we ever have another fair election,... if anyone considers what we had as fair.
After seeing the Russian Tails in the numbers for 2016, 2020, and 2024 favoring Trump. It's for sure feels like we haven't seen a fair election in over a decade and I currently question our elections and think they are illegitimate. And that's not even going into the known cheating that happened in Ohio that helped Bush get into office(or the Florida shenanigans from the same election for that matter).
So yeah, I think Trump cheated with Russia's(and/or Israel's) and Elon's help and is an illegitimate President. Though to be fair he was illegitimate after trying to spawn an insurrection, and should have been hanged for High Treason already.
We havent had a fair election in my entire life. Bush straight up stole the election from Gore, and even if theres none of that extreme blatant stealing, everything is rigged so hard in favor of republicans, from voting booth locations, to gerrymandering, to right wing thugs being intimidating, etc etc.
Valid as fuck set of points. You're not wrong.
Yeah, except he's apparently alive and the 2008 and 2020 elections weren't included in his list.
You're going to need to elaborate, you've lost me with what exactly you're trying to get at with being so vague. Traditionally you use the subject's name, before switching to pronouns so the reader knows who the fuck you're talking about.
This is not hard to follow. You responded to someone, your comment appears below theirs. I responded to you, my comment appears below yours. Notice how this trend continues.
How is he "right" in saying there has "never" been a fair election in his lifetime but he's not including two of them? Has he died and come to life repeatedly?
Just because Dems win, doesn't make them fair. Gerrymanding is a very unfair tactic, and Republicans have been disenfranchising voters since before I could vote. And if they cheated, in 2004, why the fuck would they not continue to cheat in every election afterwards? It's a valid logic path to follow, and to assume that every election is likely unfair and has only gotten more unfair since then.
2020 was won by Biden, but in no way was the election fair. Trump did everything in his power to interfere, and would have won if not for covid basically enforcing nationwide mail in ballots, which turns out to be pretty hard to cheat. Though we did find millions of ballots in ditches, and various other places that never got counted (Edit: In 2024). So yeah... Maybe you're just ignorant of all the data points?
Moderation is called "balance" when you like a candidate.
Preferably in the same cell
C'mon, this is elementary stuff. You don't want to give them the opportunity to coordinate their lies.
Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.
If you think trump is not gonna stop giving that sloppy toppy to netanyahu irl then you have a more favourable view of politics then I do
Hah. It wouldn't be awkward cos they'd be fucking! Haha.
How much do you want to bet a Mossad agent has had him in his sights before?
I’m shocked everyday that there ain’t an assassination attempt on him. My politics are more extreme than his but his platform is violently opposed to the status quo and its overlords
Because that would be instant martyrdom and would further the movement. I guarantee Isreal, republicans and democrats are all looking at him like a hawk waiting for him to slip up. They can't just kill him, he needs to be tarred and feathered and his beliefs discredited.
We're just lucky he's such a baller you can't catch him slipping.
Do you mean to say they're trying to catch him riding dirty?
Most assassination attempts are by nutjobs, not some intricate conspiracy. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not always.
Two years ago, I would have said he is Pali-pilled beyond reach.
Now I think he is simply stating a fact.
Sadly this isn’t some new development after Oct 7, the Nakba was in 1948 and the details we now know of Israeli atrocities from that event are truly horrifying. The Israelis have been brutally terrorizing their neighbors for over 75 years, Bibi is just a natural extension of that campaign of terror. Israel is the most egregious terrorist organization in the world, bar none.
That's a wild telling of what happened in 1948.
After the Brits left Mandatory Palestine it was basically an existential war for Israel. Israel declares independence and immediately gets invaded by Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan and Syria, supported by the Arab Liberation Army and corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Yemen.
After the war Israel extended it's borders. Some say for security, some say as territorial conquest for more Jews to settle.
This is very much not as one-sided as you make it out to be.
It was a war against Israeli ethnic cleansing, which they started even before their declaration of independance.
The Nakba was, to my understanding, seperate from war and happened in order to clear space and displace Palestinian settlement so that there was effectively room for the Jewish population to now live there, and is a pretty well documented historical example of ethnic cleansing. It was what happened in order to establish the state of israel, and was initially carried out by Zionists and then by the IDF once the IDF was created, if I'm remembering correctly
I think the terms get mixed up sometimes. Israel calls it the war of independence. The displacement was part of "Plan Dalet". Nakba sometimes refers to the displacement and massacres specifically and sometimes to the whole war.
Don't get me wrong, war crimes were committed (if that was a thing back in '48 not sure). I just don't like the characterization that Israel is a terrorist state that terrorizes all its neighbors. This was not one-sided at all.
Indeed, there is a specific definition of genocide and afaict Hamas has met the definition for 20+ years; Isreal hadn't sunk to the full definition until Bibi finished eviscerating the courts and shoveling fundamentalist BS into the Knesset just a few years ago
war crimes were committed (if that was a thing back in '48 not sure)
Lol are you serious? Ever heard of WWII or the Nuremberg trials?
I'm not going to argue anything you said cause it's factual, it wasn't one-sided. It is now. Israel has total victory over the Palestinians. A Palestinian state will never exist now, and Israel is still killing them. It's not a war anymore, It's a genocide.
No he doesn't, he belongs 6 feet under.
Whichever outcome makes him most miserable is preferable
I don't know what I'd prefer, him rotting 6ft under or rotting behind bars. Knowing the global prison system and the privileges given to rich/well connected people I'd probably want the former tho
I think he should be sentenced to the same war crimes he committed.
We can't let mayors do that kind of shit though. You know how many yee-heil podunk mayors out there would start arresting every unauthorized tan?
He's the mayor for more people than several US governors are governors for
Wyoming still hasn't hit one million
Also, those good ol' boy, wannabe Boss Hogg mayors would do that anyway
Gee, we gotta abolish Wyoming
I'd say he's free to express his opinion as he isn't in charge of arresting him against the will of the admin. The MAGAs do this all the time or I did I get something wrong?
To say someone isn't welcome in your city is within the range of things a major should be allowed to do imho.
Here comes to the excuse train.
Mamdani is right but you are more right.
Oh I can think of a much better place for Netanyahu to be...
I need some rop and a strong branch
A war criminal who committed horrific crimes against humanity including genocide belongs behind bars? Really? Wow! Thank you captain obvious. We all know that. But we also know it's not going to happen. Your entire country is run by criminals who are desperately trying to cover up raping children on a regular basis, by doing more illegal acts, also to enrich themselves, at the cost of others. There's a whole list of leaders and their regimes that actually belong behind bars after a fair trial, including Netanyahu, Trump and Putin, to name the biggest ones.
Start to recognize the ICC, arrest war criminals and put them on trial.
Saying war criminals actually should belong behind bars doesn't put them there. Giving them weapons and funding neither.
Ugh dbzero poster
Didn’t this guy promise he’d arrest him? More sloppulist fallacies?
Yes. This is his further affirmation of that promise. However he can only do it now if Netanyahu comes to New York (which he probably won’t do)
He literally says in the video he cannot arrest him.
No, the New York Post made a scare-tactic article about Mamdani saying he would. It wasn't meant for you.
Point to were he made that promise... I'll wait. He basically said he would if he could and then confirmed what everyone already knew. That he doesn't have the authority to do so.
Article is authwalled. Can someone post its full contents in the comments?
That site doesn't load. It looks like a captcha that doesn't load on secure browsers
