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!

My god, this is such a hilariously ridiculous take! XD
well you see there's this thing the corporate media calls 'electability' that evaluates metrics like physical appearance into an aggregate quotient of how they predict public sentiment will form around a candidate. they also factor in made up stuff that they can use to cast doubt on candidates their board of directors view as a threat to the establishment they profit from.
Zoran already had to grapple with enough manufactured electability concerns based on his identity, politics, economics, etc that he probably did the calculus and recognized that his best chance for success in the election required him to uphold a fairly typical politician's outward appearance to cut through all that.
no idea what his personal fashion sense is but he walked a ton doing door-to-door canvassing during his campaign. i'd imagine he would have much prefered to do so in comfort than in a suit.
BetterHelp.com I'd mention your trust issues at the intake session.
Fucking brutal lmao
Yeah I mean I want my socialists to only wear Mao suits. Otherwise how can I possibly trust them?
Mamdani gets his suits from Suitsupply. Suitsupply makes nice suits but I wouldn't call it a luxury brand. Its about 1k for a suit.
Also basically every politician wears expensive clothes.
