Journalist and media critic Sana Saeed discusses her viral essay on why charismatic leaders like Zohran Mamdani and Barack Obama don’t save the movement, but “polish the gravestones” of empire.
mamdani is liberal zionist, why are leftists pinning their hopes on him?
TLDW? I’m not gonna spend a second on this video just to get a lukewarm take.
The liberal American’s identity is tied to the success of the American project so they must believe, with all their heart, that it’s not just another imperialist colonial white supremacist construct where democracy is a sham and a ritual of prole appeasement, and they will hate you for trying to wake them up. If he represented any sort of real change, a structural one, he would’ve never had a platform.
Oh god tankie bullshit is smearing itself on our news community again
mamdani havent spoken for palestine since winning the primary btw
Mamdani is not the mayor of Gaza or the mayor of Jerusalem and New York has a pretty full plate rn. His position on the matter is known, if you want someone to fix foreign policy look to people whose job it is to shape foreign policy.
Define tankie and how it fits here? If I said that AOC is paid by the Zionists and then illustrated it by showing her voting history regarding Israel, would that also make one a tankie? Are you paid to “back the blue” no matter what? Because if you aren’t, then why are you having this reaction? How does this benefit you?
Christ.
I’m a Jesus fan as well. 👌
Same shit different day… I knew he was a phoney. Voting blue no matter who will not change anything either. Not saying give up but the world around US is currated.
