During an “active” (in public minds at least) genocide of Palestinians as well.

If he thought so he would’ve not run as a democrat. Perhaps he actually is okay with the violence and brutality inflicted upon every inch of soil and only seek to make things somewhat easier to those he deems „worthy“ - which coincides with demographics allowed to have it easier by the laws of the united states?

I can’t help but wonder whether this guy has just been a cynical liar from the start…

Liar yes, cynical no. I did get the vibe that he thought he genuinely could improve lives but like most socdems „negotiated“ (lied to himself) his radicalism away. Tone down his message to appeal to a wider audience, pipeline to the left.

In the end is not the american left just another set of customers awaiting for a product to be catered to their desires? Not angry at a system but dissatisfied at the lack of diverse options in their favorite mall?

They will be led astray by the next figure stringing together leftist sentiments.

I wonder if Lenin ever ceased to attack Kerensky so the tsar could be overthrown? If he ceased his criticism of the Trudoviks? If he spoke out in support of progressive reformist of the Kadets? A socialist is not the attack dog of democrats, they are not a “proud boys”- type militia to be called upon and leashed again.

I think that is the concept that libs and socdems have of the modern far left (especially in the us)

But why do people feel so betrayed after older votes and actions should have triggered this much earlier? And will most of this go away soon?

Many still hope for the magical day when the dems become something that they structurally cant be. They love the idea more than the fact, of what these people represent. Same with Mamdani, tbh. People will be very heartbroken about him soon enough.

Too much “benefit of the doubt” is given, too much projection and power-level hiding cope and “they mean well”. They long to be heard and hear screams in whimpers.

Yeah because great man theory isnt reality and material conditions would have given rise to a nazi-esque party anyways.

She is not your friend nor a revolutionary. Socdems are always like this.

AOC is literally enabling genocide with this act.

I remember she had a “vacation” to Mauritania in her last semester of her PS bachelor. WHY would anyone visit the only plaCe were slavery Is offically legAl is beyond me.

Nah the election kinda proved that NYC jews arent really that zionist. So this is merely socdems doing social fascism and supporting the empire, as usual.
