Honeymoon phase OVER!! Stable, long term relationship phase built on mutual respect has STARTED.
Beat me to it. No longer are they dreaming of what things will look like, they are seeing the results and the reality of what it looks like to have someone actually care about their well being. May we all be so lucky, honestly.
Could you imagine if we got used to that? Started to expect functional government? It’s so refreshing to have even one decent example. I want it so bad.
This is the same Wall Street Journal that is owned by NewsCorp? The multimedia company operated by Rupert Murdoch as a propaganda machine for right wing fascist policy and heavily tried to influence government to favor the ultra wealthy and hive them power. That Wall Street Journal?
And since The Constitution says Trump can’t run again, it doesn’t matter that The Constitution says Mamdani can’t run either!
Non-american here, why wouldn’t Mamdani not be able to run for president?
Gotta be born American.
Like, there’s been debate about children of US military born overseas, even in a US military base which is for all intents legally American soil.
Edit:
And to clarify, Mamdani ain’t trying to change that
People just started saying it.
children of US military born overseas
The debate about what natural-born means has often been confusing to me.
The USA does both, Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis to determine citizen status at birth. But when it’s about eligibility for president, suddenly extra weight should be put on Jus Soli being the only real proper form of citizenship? That makes no sense to me.
I thought natural-born would mean citizen at birth, not immigrated and naturalized. To avoid situations where for example some English noble immigrates and naturalizes in name only, uses his wealth to gain political power, and then puts the US back under English influence. It makes sense to me that the founders of a new republic would want to avoid having it twisted by former masters.
My algo served me a video recently about how he’s the lefts trump and it makes sense.
People went from not taking him seriously to establishment quickly trying to take him out while the populace loves him while remaining popular with his base
To top it off it seems unlikely he’s a serial child rapist who will take every single opportunity to make a buck
How odd for a Murdoch sewer rag to go after a progressive politician who’s running their town.
I thought the WSJ was a Bezos bootlicker rag? But same difference.
No that’s the WaPo. Murdoch subsumed the WSJ in . . . jebus 2007. I didn’t think it was that long ago.
The establishment in 'Murica are genuinely terrified of his success
If he shows that it’s possible, then they’re afraid that other places will want the same
When’ Muricans travel and actually experience what it’s like to live somewhere else, the smart few start making plans for their escape to the civilised world
They’ve bombed, blockaded and invaded other countries for less.
He accomplished more good in a few months than trump did in almost 6 years. I also haven’t heard him constantly blame the last guy for all his failings. +1 for this new mayor!!
He accomplished more than basically any politician in the last 20 years in the us.
And he actually geta booed off stage, while trump sometimes has a guy booing, and the title is: trump slammed by getting booed by a whole stadium
What?
I searched a bit, the main thing I can find is that 7 days ago, Mamdani appeared on stage at an event in Staten Island, where he only got 23% of the vote. Multiple (at least 4) people booed him, and he left the podium/stage after roughly a minute during which he thanked various people.
So… He went to a borough where he wasn’t very popular, and he still isn’t very popular there, I guess? This is just like the ending of my own relationship’s honeymoon phase, when my sister in law that has never liked me, still didn’t like me after I got married.
WSJ is so desperate to be relevant again they are straight up printing obvious lies.
It is the Murdock way
I’d say WSJ is captured but it never really was un-captured.
It has gone total MAGA since Trump 1.0 though.
WSJ is Murdoch owned. Purchased in 2007. Hasn’t “gone” anything, it’s fucked pre trump
