I keep hearing what these losers have to say but I don't see Mamdami's actual campaign articles showing what he's doing

Media blackout. Only focus on the response to his ideas so it seems like the wave is against him and his ideas only exist to be opposed. When they spread his ideas people like them. When you only frame them by how much backlash they receive, it seems like they’re crazy
