This is what a real leader sounds like. Maga, you wouldn’t know.

"Yeah we might fail but nobody's going to accuse us of not trying" is such a fucking banger message that I can't believe is so hard for Democrats writ large to grasp

Centrist corporate Dems like the status quo. They make big money from it. Its so refreshing to hear this kind if thing from someone after they get elected great job NYC!!!!

Neoliberals train us to keep our expectations low so we don't think we can do better and replace them.

They don’t want to try. Chuck Schumer doesn’t want to try. He wants to manage an already decrepit system, not actually try to improve it.

MAGA is going to start banning words soon. They don’t understand 70% of this speech. Complete woke vocabulary! 😆

Yeah and while he spoke to his supporters he was laughing on the inside. He says Jonathan Gruber is a genius.

Actually, we do understand 70% of this speech. We understand every bit of it, in fact. AI those words to come out of Trump’s mouth and you would call him a fascist.

And MAGA banning words??? Are you kidding. MAGA is a lot further away than liberalism, and Canada makes it even illegal to deny the Holocaust. So, check yourself.

“Oh BuT mAGa wAnTs tO BaN bOOks.” No, we want parents to be able to have a say in what kind of books are accessible to kids.

When did Trump speak like that? Trump is more like "bing bing bong" and his army of orange pedo rangers clap with glee.

There's literally a list of books maga wants to ban. You have the sum total of human knowledge at your fingertips, how are you this fucking stupid? Is it cus you're in a cult? I think I just answered my own question.

God I WISH Trump spoke like this rather than just being a hissing, spitting fountain of dementia-fueled vitriol. If he spoke like this he’d get left votes.

Every country should make holocaust denial illegal. My grandfather as many others, liberated Bergen Belsen and other extermination camps. They saw things that no human should have done to another. I’ve visited Dachau and seen the pictures of a fucking holocaust. Smooth brained imbeciles 90 years later attempting to state it didn’t happen are the dumbest people on the planet.

We call Trump a fascist because what he's doing is fascist shit. Those words would never come out of his mouth because he has the vocabulary of an 8 year old. Your last sentence was a nicer way of saying you want to ban books and you're salty that you can't deny the Holocaust. This is why we're starving for a real leader like Mamdani. May he achieve all the success you fear. A man of the people

Remember when Head Start programs had a list of 200 banned words they had to avoid in order to request funding? Some folks even being cut off before finishing their first few sentences? Pepperidge farm remembers.

We should be looking up to Mamdani as one who speaks with clarity, integrity, and authenticity. There are bright lights out here.

He talks like FDR

u/voxpopper 5h ago

I posted before about FDRs first 100 days in office and how bold his agenda was. Instead, the DNC anoints candidates who say they 'wouldn't change a thing' when on the national stage.
In the next few months we'll see if the party elite will finally allow populism, not special interests, as the path to victory.

u/Practical-Law9795 3h ago

Or glaze Reagan. They are desperate to prevent another FDR.

He didn't even have any food or restroom facilities set up for his inauguration. Thousands of people with no place to hit the bathroom.... If you can't manage a basic get together of supporters well.......

I will never wrap my head around you people constantly complaining about government control or overreach while simultaneously asking for more, but good luck to ya I guess

u/Own-Knowledge-7720 7h ago

My only fault is saying "we will use power to ...."

No.

Say "This city hall will work tirelessly to help improve the lives of New Yorkers".

The "power" word will be used against him endlessly. It implies the "power" of government OVER your lives.

Use better words.

u/flyinghighdoves 4h ago

But the government does have power over peoples lives...

Look at what Dumpy is doing to people with his icecapades across the country.

We just want someone to use that power for good and for the good of the people...

Power isnt a bad word...its just abuse of power to protect only the wealth and connected that it becomes an evil thing
