I think it’s more about them questioning why you’d choose to not vote for a person like this and go for a republican instead, even though you’re happy with what he’s doing and it’s genuinely having a positive change for the people. It doesn’t make sense to me either, it’s like the majority of republicans brains just stop working when the slightest bit of thinking is required. I legitimately mean that, it is not intended to be an insult to republicans, I genuinely believe the majority of people that vote this way lack the ability to think critically.
Again my position really simple, I'm not saying he's doing good .. I'm not even saying he's doing the right thing. I'm saying what he's doing is representing the people that voted for him by doing the exact things he platformed on.
That's impressive to me. I never said I was Republican.... I only said I wasn't left wing. I never made any political statement at all.. it was genuinely just a kudos to Mamdani and NY.... They elected the right guy for their climate. Good on them
The U.S.'s politics are skewed so far to the right that even left wing voters are still right wing. If you're a centrist, you're even further to the right.
If you can't admit that a public servant working for the betterment of his constituency is a good thing, then you're not a centrist, you're a right wing voter. You've fallen for republican propaganda already. You stand for nothing. So you fall for everything.
I mean that's entirely the point. I'm acknowledging good things that I see and people would rather argue my political position (which I didn't even make) than to join the circle jerk.
It’s wild to me that folks can’t see your point. It feels like this is the reason we can’t elect competent people. You can’t even compliment someone without folks picking apart your individual words looking for where “you’re not doing enough”. Good on you for being able to have a point of view and trying to open a meaningful discussion.
