• in such an adversarial situation, i wouldn’t say shit about my strategy until the day i had the power to implement it. there’s no benefit at this moment. the campaign is over.

    so, why tell your targets details about how, specifically, you are going to undermine and purge them 6 weeks ahead of your term?

      Yeah, I’m not usually a “hiding his powerlevel” type but until Mamdani actually gets sworn in, he doesn’t have power. Playing nice now to not get murdered by the NYPD is probably a safe call

        Why would him being in office make him less likely to be murdered by the cops? Wouldn’t they be even closer to him at that point? Keeping tisch on isn’t hiding any power, it’s signaling to capital

        This is my opinion but people are really fucking eager to jump on your dick with a FELL FOR IT AGAIN AWARD type “gottem” and its so tedious and tiring. So even when he’s getting criticized by zionists for endorsing someone who iirc said some Al Qaeda guy was good, or whatever, you go “oh cool” only to get jumped on by nerds here to tell you that no actually as Mayor of NYC, Israel, he’s going to do Zionism

        Btw for whoever this is referring to, and you should know if you’re reading this, me saying something like “huh weird this is awfully cool for the “Zohran Mamdani sucks” crowd” isn’t invitation for prolonged debate, especially when I am clearly being dismissive when I go “I guess we’ll just have to see how he treats Israel, a country he doesn’t live in, when he’s mayor of NYC, a city that isn’t in that country.”

        Judge him by his actions, hes not a football team, just a vessel for what we want and if he doesnt deliver discard him simple as.
