  • They wouldn't do this when the better option for them is to make Mamdani's ambitions for New York as hard as possible to bring to fruition. Even if they only hinder him a bit, any inability at all from Mamdani to do every single thing he wants to do (and things they claim he wants to do) will see relentless coverage in the right wing media (and likely also some from liberal media) in order to paint it as a "failed project" and how "unrealistic socialism is." That serves them far better than just disappearing the guy

    I see your point about how they will try and make Mamdani look as bad as possible in the meeting but he could withstand it far better than Zelenskyy, I reckon. Nothing wrong with Zelenskyy on that front, just it's obvious Mamdani would do better

  • I'm glad in the article they say that Khan is part of the centrist Labour establishment. For any US people that aren't aware, Mamdani's win is a way bigger jump to the left for New York than Khan was/is for London, even though Johnson came before him. I wish Khan was like Mamdani in this aspect, London could really use someone like that too

  • Also unaware that it wasn't commonly how they picture it anyway and so many of those housewives had to be on drugs to cope with their lives

  • Refreshing to see this attitude, rather than the pre-election "you're an idiot if you don't vote for me" followed by the post-election ”wow you didn't vote for me, you idiots" rhetoric you get from most Dems

  • Thanks for clarifying for me. Yeah I should've maybe given a clear do NOT go picking hogweed to eat, or even that near it, unless you're absolutely sure you can identify one from the other. Despite it's name, giant hogweed is very often just as large as the common hogweed surrounding it. It still needs to grow to that size, after all

  • There's so much hogweed all over the UK that's just sitting there, uneaten. Not the giant stuff, that's not a fun time. But the regular stuff has good flavour

    Also tons of wild garlic when the seasons in

  • Yeah true to an extent, of course, but I mean them going full on with it like they did with claiming the Charlie Kirk assassin was a leftist and trying to link him to transness in any way possible

  • Could well happen yeah. Though it also seems likely, given how things have gone so far, that an assassin could be on camera with a Nazi swastika on their clothes and immediately after you'd have the right wing media spreading far and wide, "Here's how the Nazis (National SOCIALISTS) were leftists, actually"

    Maybe some shit about Nazis being pro trans too, I dunno. At this point it feels like they could actually say that and enough people would lap it up

  • It's amazing these people still think that all Jewish people agree with them. Or do they think a huge part of the global Jewish population just became "self-hating" or whatever term they'd use overnight?

  • Complaining about big things that actually matter is banned. But the usual banal complaining we do all the time about arbitrary things that anyone in a non affluent country could only dream of having as all their "problems"...they could never take that from us. Might actually be the only thing that would spark a revolution in this country, thinking about it
