Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Assuming Mamdani is a commie and a radical islamist, he made no attempt to hide it - as evidenced by the fact that the very fascists who want to strip him of his citizenship are themselves aware of it.
This naturally leads to the following question: what do the fascists make of the fact that a majority New Yorkers voted for him, thereby indicated that they WANT a communist islamist running their city?
Are the fascists implying that most New Yorkers are fucking morons who can't see a dangerous individual when they see one, or that a majority of New Yorkers should be either deported or thrown in the slammer for communist tendencies and terrorism?
What the fascists fail to realize is that they're spitting in the face of several million people and insulting their intelligence, and that sure as hell won't earn them any good will.
A lot of kentuckians thought they had a right to vote for mayor of New York and governor of Virginia
Trump lost NYC 1:5 in 2024
So
Por que no los dos?
I mean, four out of five NYC voters could clearly recognize a dangerous individual when they see one, as evidenced by the results. But Trump et al live in bizarroland where they are innocent.
They're not making these arguments in good faith so there's no point in treating them as such. If tomorrows problem requires taking the opposite position from today then they will do so without hesitation. Recognize these as the self-serving, useful in this particular moment, lies that they are and move on.
