    idk how people can watch someone win an election and see the entirety of the bourgeoisie shit themselves over it and then believe literally any and every thing they hear about them that would make them not like/discontinue their support of them without thinking “wow idk maybe I should step back here a bit and see what they even end up doing once elected”

    no, better to go running hot to the presses with fell-for-it-again-award shit every time Mamdani’s caught talking to a democrat because him being a neoliberal sheepdog sleeper agent “here to defuse revolutionary sentiment” is apparently infinitely more likely in the minds of some than “they’re smearing mamdani in literally every possible way” even though we literally saw a multi-month long period where they threw essentially whatever they could fucking think of at the wall to see if it would stick

      oh come the fuck on. this is the exact same shit you liberals always say about social democrats who are obviously moving rightwards and it always goes the same way in the end. you people are so fucking naive, and you’re acting as though I’m some conspiracy theorist who believes he’s a “sleeper agent” because I can remember this same song and dance happening over and over again with “socialist” election candidates running as Democratic candidates. no, I just think that this breed of politician plays a particular role in our society, even when their intentions are good, and that role is to restrict the scope of socialist political action and maintain the focus on bourgeois elections rather than any other means of pursuing power, while eventually being totally integrated into the mainstream liberal machine, as evidenced by him STANDING NEXT TO ELIZABETH WARREN IN THE VIDEO I’M POSTING ABOUT.

      have none of you fuckers learned from the AOC experience? jesus christ.

        standing next to a democrat = total integration into the neoliberal genocide machine, yup

        why did the bourgeoisie even try to smear the guy when it’s sooooo easy lol just sic hillary clinton on him or something. If he refuses to see her he’s an evil misogynist who loses liberal votes, if he doesn’t he’s sold out his brain to the clintonite neoliberal brain slug hive mind. i am a critical thinker

          meaning that he’s not there yet but give it a few years and yeah you’ll have another AOC on your hands

        I’m just not sure the point of getting worked up. He’ll do what he does and we can react accordingly. It’s electoralism in the imperial core.
