I mean, I assume there are plenty of elected politicians that are personally in their hearts further left than their platform, the question is what they want to push for while in office, obviously he won't be pushing for workers owning the means of production, or maybe anything, but there may be positive things he wants to do that build power and confidence for workers to one day push for those things more vocally, rather than depending on a guy with power who, at one time when he didn't have power, publicly believed those things.

lol I imagine if he is indeed hiding his power levels it’s not like you can just say that on this little website, I get it. So I will take this your admission that he is without actually saying it ;)

“Obama 2.0” this must be a joke?

The video you shared is a short form answer for an extremely liberal audience to win an election. He already has clarified his public stance on Israel as having the right to exist only as a state with equal rights for all. To any leftist hearing that, you should immediately know he is saying Israel as we know it CANNOT exist. He is very obviously not a Zionist if you look at all at his history of organizing.

Touting the endorsement of an extremely popular politician in your home city to win an election is not the dig you think it is. Why on earth would he denounce her endorsement if he’s actually interested in winning?

Increasing funding for hate crime prevention does NOT just include for antisemitism. Also we should want increased funding for prevention of antisemitism and all hate crimes. Am I missing something here?

You’re pointing out a singular deleted tweet of his, being highlighted by a right wing grifter Twitter account, when he still has things like this up on his Twitter.

And what is he supposed to do? Endorse vandalism?

Please be serious. This is an embarrassingly poorly read post. I swear to god some people ostensibly on the left think it’s more important to do nothing wrong than it is to actually do something right and make some progress.

Obama 2.0 dropped

Let's see what he materially does when he's in office. Too early to tell.

629 days of livestreamed extermination and this is who I am supposed to be celebrating?

If you are US American or Canadian: yes. If you aren't either of those: let it rip.

Past revolutionaries did much dirtier things to gain and retain power than Zohran refusing to tank his campaign by quieting his tone in order to win an election and actually have the power to positively effect his community. His approach to the genocide has impressed me more than the PRC's has, as one example (given the respective context of each entity).

US cultural hegemony and liberal zionism are scourges.

Agree, it sucks that he has to walk back the public presentation of some of his principles in order to win. That's politics, it's fucking dirty even when you're the "good guy". It is even true of non-electoral politics to some extent. You do what you need to do to gain power, and once you can wield it effectively with the support of those you represent, you have more freedom to actually be a leader.

Nothing wrong with being outraged about the ongoing genocide, ofc. Zohran is hopefully the first of many, and he has proven that support for Palestine (which he does, even if his public presentation of that has been modified for purposes of winning a campaign) does not permanently tank you forever in your political career. This is good, Zionism in the U.S. still holds strong, but is quickly eroding. At this point, the more they ask him about it, the faster it erodes; we have the upper hand and that should be celebrated.

Would love an explanation as to why you believe he should say he won't fight antisemtism.

Leaving a comment here. I want to come back to this post in a few months-years.

Comrades, we are materialistic. There is more chances that this guy bends the knee to the hegemonic power than really pushing socialist laws (more close to the SPD than Bolchevisk use of the capitalist state power).

We also know how the USA operates when we talk of progressive politicians (not even socialist ones).

I wish him and his supporter the best. But, comrades, be materialistic, don't be idealistic.

The dialectical relationship between your post and the post immediately before it by a few minutes is really giving peak hexbear

No amount of money in the world can get Eric "Mr. Türkiye" Adams to win the mayoral race running as a Republican in New York City. They could blow billions of dollars like Bloomberg during his 2020 run and maybe Adams would get 30%. His approval rating right now is 20%. Almost 60% of New Yorkers not only disapprove, 60% of New Yorkers think he should resign from office right now. No amount of money can make that ghoul win.
