In an interview on Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend, Mamdani warned that if the American Dream is just an ideal that’s out of within reach, then people may start to give up.
The democratic socialist compared it to legendary NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s observation during the rise of fascism in Europe, saying people turned away from democracy not because they were tired of liberty, but because they were tired of being hungry.
“So if democracy doesn’t mean the better life that it has to, it’ll lose its worth. And the same thing with the American Dream: if it’s something you can only see when you turn on your TV or you hear about that one guy you grew up with who made it, that doesn’t mean enough,” Mamdani said.
He’s right, and people can see he’s right, which is why they voted for him to become mayor of NYC
Meanwhile Republicans are a bunch of oligarchs who are like “No you can’t vote for socialists because… look at all this culture war stuff! Please keep us in power!”
SF has a democratic Oligarch as mayor and he suxxxxxx
“Look at how bad it is right now!! That’s how bad it’ll be under SOCIALISM!!!”
If you vote for that socialist communist then prices will go up and you can’t afford anything! Vote for me!
*Everything they claimed would happen happened under them and they blamed it all on the others
Fixed it for you. The Dem leadership literally supported the loser of their own primary to avoid Mamdani becoming mayor.
And then when that didn’t work or mollify their owner donors, they passed an official resolution condemning socialism. They have never passed any such resolution condemning fascism, in spite of that being the ideology of the ACTUAL enemy.
Exactly they rather have fascism then socialism. Hell Newsome is trying to create his own blue Maga were he welcome fascist on his podcast.
