Dude gets elected to the job of running the city and actually RUNS the city and everyone’s shocked.
Like take a step back and realize that if actually having potholes fixed and garbage collected is ‘new’ maybe you all need to stop re-electing the same loser assholes year after year.
I think it’s because he’s socialist. Americans have spent the past forty years (at least; probably longer, but I’m only 41) being told that socialism was evil and would inevitably lead to bread lines and mass death and corruption and like…perpetual rain or something. But now we’ve got a socialist running the biggest metropolitan area in the USA, and actually everyone there is doing great, while the Republican presidency is doing the mass death and corruption stuff. Americans are having their preconceptions rewritten in real time.
It’s because he puts the needs of the workers over the needs of those with so much wealth their entire lineage will never have to work again.
They’ll use him being a Muslim to turn us against him and against each other, but that’s not why he’s opposed by the billionaires who own the media or the billionaires who fund the GOP and establishment Democrats, all of whom teamed up to try to keep him out of power.
When it was Bernie, they tried to divide us by gender and generation. When it’s a Muslim, they try to divide us by religion. When it’s a young white Christian man, they try to divide us by lying about him being a fucking vegan sexist racist.
All these threads are hilarious.

It’s a collective “wait this is what socialism is” moment.
This isn’t socialism though, it’s just actual city management.
It’s because he’s Muslim.
That’s it. He’s talked about so much because he’s a brown person doing good things and that goes against the white American collective hive mind.

There’s no war but class war.
Yeah, people seem to still not get this part… it’s factually a race issue like most problems in this he US
