    What’s hilarious about his recent public statements?

    He literally ran on the idea that he would arrest netanyahu, and his recent statement was “he’s a war criminal, but whoopsie I actually can’t arrest him, sorry”

    That his very political backtracking is hilarious to you is very concerning. He’s not a horrible mayor, Americans would be way better off with people like him in power, but of course socialist will shit on him as he maintains the imperial status quo. He’ll talk about Palestine and keep using it as rhetoric, but so far all he’s done is call netanyahu a war criminal and say he can’t arrest him, and he is working very closely with several Zionists on his team.

    The problem with liberals is they worship individuals instead of ideals and ideas. You can’t criticize mamdani without being called a maga or tankie, there is no room for discussion, he’s perfect and can do no wrong because “his moral compass points to good”.

        *does nothing

        What do you propose he do then?

        I propose he doesn’t run on issues he never had intentions to deliver on. He shouldn’t make promises he could never keep.

        He was either woefully unprepared and didn’t know that obviously he has no jurisdiction to arrest netanyahu under the ICC warrant, or he knew and lied. I don’t think he’s incompetent.

        You may enjoy the short term benefits he brings domestically, but as an imperialist, he serves the ruling class like the rest of them. You can both celebrate wins and criticize flaws.

        Stop worshipping politicians.
