New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.

The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

      Not, you know, workers rights, the weekend, higher wages, greater social mobility, higher standards of living, higher wages etc?

              How about China lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years between 2010 and 2020? Seems pretty significant if you ask me.

                  We know what genocide looks like. It’s inescapable. You can’t have a secret genocide. There would be evidence of genocide if there was genocide. I can’t believe this has to be explained to adults

                    I can’t believe that the people positioning themselves as anti-genocide melt down if you mention Ukraine or Uyghurs.

                    Let me guess the only ethical genocide is my genocide?

                  So either you think there actually is a genocide in China, and you’re making light of it, which is fucked, lol. Or you know it’s actually bullshit western propaganda, which the UN and multiple human rights groups have confirmed, and you still try and dunk on China, despite knowing you’re full of shit.

                  Interesting.

                  Useless? I’ve seen your comment history, it reads like a fucking democrat intern who’s trying to build a resume. Useless, Pfft.

                  The one where you’re acting like that or the one above it where you’re acting like that? A “realist” blames the ruling class vs the rest of us. Not the left or the right.

                    Wouldn’t a realist believe that classes are self organizing structures in society, defined in opposition to the other, and that for one class to blame its problems on another would be to miss the point that the society is sick altogether?

                    My comment:

                    The only thing leftists are good for is destroying their own chances of creating a political party then blaming the liberals for it.
