It's so exhausting. The revolutionary cosplay is dialed to a ten. Every day I open Lemmy you'd think the streets are about to run red with blood of landlords any minute... Then I remember these are the same neckbeard basement dwellers masturbating each other on leninist theory while Marx looks down in disgust... Ugh

I'm sorry if my tone sounded harsh. It was mainly addressed for the rest of LEMMY that can't seem to understand how to build electoral power and move the goddamn overton window - LIKE AT ALL.

THANK YOU

Ok. That's a nice analysis to have for the history books. The US electorate can't remember what happened 6 mos ago. Can we take this win with Mamdani? Can we take this one win please? Can we not purge him yet? Is that ok? I understand he's not the perfect leftist. I get it. Can we just take this and work with it?

This thread is about US politics. Go back to the first question I asked you. Also, Mamdani is in the US. I don't know why we need to constantly pivot. I guess, on a global scale "akshually mamdani is center-left gosh". Like, what an asinine useless take. Let me know when the rest of the world is ready to vote in us politics.

Who was more far left than Mamdani in the last two decades? Can you give an example?

Hahaha the leftists have purity tested MAMDANI out of their circle. You can't make this shit up, Lemmy

Anything that isn't a total leninist commie is "center left". I love it! You guys are so funny it's sad. Once again, the left proving is exclusively good at one thing and one thing only: purity testing the left.

Also, I live in Europe. Mamdani is a boiler plate leftist here. Nothing you said is true.

The word "left" is extremely fluid on Lemmy, it seems. When Mamdani is campaigning, it's a big tent word and Mamdani is definitely on the team. After the campaign, when the purity testing begins, "left" has strict leninist parameters in must adhere to. It's fun, isn't it

No, I'm criticizing the guy for exclusively chasing money and maximizing capitalism. It's not difficult. He's a grifter and some day you'll figure it out.

Excise him immediately!

Did anyone say socialists have to be poor? Did I say that?

Because you can't distinguish between the false dichotomy you created intentionally in order to avoid the real question. It's a nice strategy, but it got stale a long time ago. No one said socialists have to be poor. Literally, no one.

In the last two decades in US politics? Like who? Name one

Ah ok. Sounds like they didn't implement anything then. So we're just making stuff up now. Gotcha.

Not much of a response to what I wrote, but ok...

Yea? What have they "successfully implemented" in the US?

This is all vibes. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Way to lose all credibility in one event

You mean she's learning how to build coalitions to get real policy enacted? Or is she not enough purist leftie for you?

I don't know how people got that take from Tropic Thunder when they explicitly make reference inside the movie to how messed up and wrong it was. Like, that was the joke. RDJ was playing a character so full of himself that took method acting to it's extreme. Am I missing something? Id love to be educated

Honestly, I'm shocked how low the pay was for the lead artist behind the Zelda landscape. Or is that normal pay for this category?
