He described the major pro-Israel lobby as an organization “for whom the only thing more frightening than democracy being allowed to run its course is an end to genocide and Netanyahu’s wars.”
Europe is in decline. It used to have people much to the left of Mamdani who implemented the socialist policies, but neoliberalism has been slowly eroding all of Europe and it is turning into the USA.
That is why Mamdani is now center-left in Europe. In the past he would just be a centrist or even center-right with his current policies. Everything is relative.
Compare Mamdani for example to Mechelon in France and Mamdani is clearly far to his right.
Well yes, but that’s my point, this trend has been global since the 80’s with Reagan and Thatcher. Continental Europe held out longer, but even here it pretty much rules the day. A lot of Americans have a very, very misinformed view of what politics here look like thinking it much more to the left, and that just hasn’t been the case for arguably a few decades. There’s a few issues we’re even to the right of Americans on. Sure, there are some holdouts, but not many that have impacted politics much in recent history.
Of course but the argument is that Mamdani is nowhere near the edge of leftism. Politicians with far more leftist policies than him have existed and succesfully implemented many. It is not a mythical pipe dream.

In the last two decades in US politics? Like who? Name one
Try thinking outside of the two party system.
Yea? What have they “successfully implemented” in the US?
Nothing because you keep yelling at them to vote for Hillary
Ah ok. Sounds like they didn’t implement anything then. So we’re just making stuff up now. Gotcha.
Do you think the US is the entire world?
