He looks like an absolute badass
They really chose the worst photo to make him look bad.

Damn, he’s a good lookin dude in your picture, he looks insane in OP’s post!
OP's post image is probably a still image from a video of him ripping someone a new one in committee.
In the age of HD video, it is remarkably easy to catch a single frame of someone looking ridiculous.
35 years old. I'm glad we're having such young people hit the spotlight in politics (I say this as a young person myself)
As somebody in between being a young and an old, holy shit yes!
We in the exclusive Oregon Trail Generation (born late 70s into early 80s, tail end of gen x into the oldest millennials) get to watch how much harder it has gotten for young people, driven by ancient politicians who had things the easiest of any generation throughout their lives, economically speaking.
Yeah, pic in the post kinda makes him look like a Mii character
😭😭
He got the John Brown [abolitionist] treatment
He looks like a guitar pick in that photo.
That's intentional, I think there was a name for it that I've long since forgotten
I feel like such a weirdo because I don’t see it. I think he looks totally fine in OP’s pic! Normal looking bloke to me lol
Man got some prince vibes
he reminds me of the actor for Grover in the Percy Jackson movies
I was going to say that, in their photo he looks like a thug or gang member, in your's he looks fantastic
My man looks like a nerd at his first high school debate. Where do you get gang member of a skinny guy in a suit?
I didn't even notice the suit in the first photo until I saw your comment, I just saw his face and thought of the "I'm the captain now" meme.
You mean like, "I'm the captain of the lacrosse team at Falls Church High School", right?
Please step back and analyze your biases to figure out why his image fits those stereotypes in your mind.
Smiling in the good picture, frowning in the bad one
Please step back and analyze your need to call out people based on incomplete information to figure out why you couldn't just ask for more info like the other comments in the thread.
This is my reason why I thought the first photo made him look like a thug.
When I first saw the photo I thought he looked very similar to the "I am the captain now" guy. That was my initial reaction, now obviously the more you study the images the more differences you find, so after a while you realize they a quite different.
Very telling comment.
fr, the original photo he's wearing a suit and tie and sitting at a desk. There's nothing there making him look like a "thug or gang member" beyond his race.
He looks like the "I'm the captain now" meme in that photo.
The actor was a Somalian from Minneapolis too.
Yes! Thank you that is exactly what I thought of!
Can you outline what specifically makes you think he looks like a thug or gang member in that photo?
In the first photo he looked similar to other thugs and gang members that I have seen in the media, though I mostly thought of the "I'm the captain now" meme
You dodged the question
How so?
Look who loves democracy until it works.
Someone needs to push back against this and say, "We want this! We asked for it, by name!" Like your lame ass party and the other lame ass party don't fucking do shit so we started looking for people that will do shit. Guess what, we found them. Grow up and accept that if you do unpopular things, you will become unpopular.
Republicans generally have not liked democracy since the 60s.
Many of the recent Republican Presidential candidates did not win the popular vote even when they got into office. Many Republican drawn maps are rigged / gerrymandered such as Texas and before that North Carolina. Republicans were lighting ballot boxes on fire in 2020 and 2024. A few Republicans tried to remove Term Limits for Trump. The only reason the Republicans have a house and senate majority is because the house is capped at 435 and the senate gives 2 seats to every state regardless of the fact that North Dakota has 800k population, Wyoming 590k, and California almost 40 Million.
Sometimes Republican voters will literally poll that Democracy doesn't work.
Don't democrats also gerrymander when they have the opportunity?
They also bring lawsuits and challenge gerrymandered maps to get them redrawn more fairly.
Yes, it's like the only time democrats are willing to bring a gun to the gun fight.
I'm not giving them a pass but gerrymandering efforts have benefitted the Republican party significantly more which is why it's seen more as a red state issue
The MAGA movement is, at heart, a racist movement. So yeah. They're pretty racist.
Give MAGAts credit, they have a natural talent for grabbing bad photos of people they dont like.
Having a triangle head does not have an impact on his suitability for governance or his policies.
I see it as a bit funny. Like, it's his reaction to her comment of stupidity
Me when I remember the cans in the freezer
What is in thoe cans, ShinkanTrain??!?
Politics aside, he looks like he wants to do experiments on anthropomorphic bandicoots.
We need to leave racism in the past and move forward - together - as a nation that roasts people purely on how much they look like video game villains
Doesn't look like him at all.
It's not the most lookie-likey I've seen, but triangular heads are hard to come by, and he's got the funny beard too.
Look at me, I am the mayor now
I really don't like to poke fun at people's appearance. But also, yeah...
tbf Somalis have a very distinct look to them, kinda like India in some parts. I got some khazak friends who all look like Genkhis Khan, I shit you not lol There are certain regions where you can just spot that they are from there, and this mayoral candidate and the actor are both of somalian origin
Made my morning, good genuine laugh
Only whites are native born to the North American continent.
As far as I know, white people were the only people ever to see North America or set foot on it in all of human history. Everyone else is a guest!
Only some whites
Rossy isn’t one of them

It is fun how shitty Hamilton was but now he has a hit play based loosely on him.
There needs to be a hagiography showdown musical, Hamilton vs The Greatest Showman, to see who can be the most whitewashed.
So she means the Native Americans.
"No, not like that!"
she's including naturalized citizens, so she already disagrees with trump lol. wonder if she realizes that.
sounds legit
Why not just deport them to India?
Shree can try. We don't want Americans here
He was born in Washington DC! He's more American than 99% of Americans
And has 100% less representation!
Washington DC isn't a state and you can't be been in the United STATES of America if you're not born in a state. - Kate (probably)
Imagine looking at that list of policies and thinking "not on my watch"
As a Trump loving landlord and minimum wage employer I would be OUTRAGED.
A disproportionate number of MAGA folk are descendants of European settlers who do not beleive in egalitarianism. They never believed in it. White supremacy was the cultural norm just a few short generations ago and in many ways it still is the implicit norm.
Real progress was being made in challenging this but the Nazis aren't going to have it so.. What's it going to take for 'the good ones' to step up?
Kate_p45? Definitely AI trash starting a fight to blind people with emotion and make them hate each other instead of being rightly mad at the oligarchs perpetuating the system.
There wouldn't be a fight if there weren't people that agreed with it.
<Thinking...>
He is black he must be an immigrant
Black with a non-white, muslim-sounding name.
Wow, yeah “Kate” you are onto something. There is something fishy going on here. He is… (reads about him for 10 seconds) very black indeed. Of course.
Fucking people.
Signed, white guy with way too many relatives who would agree with smiling racist lady.
And by "born" we mean white.
See this guy is a "problem" being a foreign born citizen running for public office. When we just finished up having a foreign born citizen fucking around in our federal government for 6 months in a position that was not voted for, or on. Ill give you 1 guess as to what the difference is between those two people I mentioned, and its the reason why both Fareh and Mamdani are under such scrutiny.
He isn't a foreign born citizen at all. Born in D.C. He doesn't even have an accent. They saw his name and skin color and masked off their stupid.
Fair enough, that shows off my ignorance I honestly spoke without doing a lot of research on Fateh. Oops. The point still stands though! 😂 P.S. I realize it says this in the summary of the article, turns out I cant read either. Lol
cope and seethe kate_p45
She's definitely still mad about Obama's birth certificate.
It would be very funny if they wrote a bill that limited citizenship to people born in "America"
I mean, citizenship in the US is granted by place of birth because that way freed slaves could become citizens. Before that, citizenship was reserved for white people
Ah, I see what you mean now
In 10 years with 2% CPI increase each year, minimum wage will be worth the exact same as today if you rose it by $4 tomorrow.
The past few years it's been between 3-6%
See, that's the thing.
CPI increases have always persisted. So minimum wage has now become so worthless that it's impossible to survive on it.
IMO, we should tie minimum wage increases to the inflation rate.
Inflation goes up 2%, so does minimum wage.
No one objected to Arnold.
Hmm, I wonder what the difference is.
We'll never know.
Look at me, I am the mayor now
Does she really mean white people or people with Christian sounding names? Like, which flavor of racists does she really want to be?
That beared and hair! He knows his style for his headshape and i am so jellouse!
Yo! Same high school as my mom!
Holy fuck. With a resume like that, he's got my vote....
I don't live there, but if I did....
The picture is really tiny, but Kate is definitely sending "AI-generated" vibes with that photo.
