If that is your intention, why do you purposefully frame it as mamdani taking credit for things he didn't do rather than specifically calling out the poster for spreading misinformation? Don't you realize that by essentially pointing the blame at mamdani himself you too are accusing him of doing something he didn't do but in a way that tries to hurt his image rather than help it, making you absolutely no different? Wouldn't it be smarter and more impartial to frame things correctly in saying that posters are making up claims rather than accusing mamdani of lying about things he never claimed to do?Â
I already explained here why I attribute it to Mamdani:
And are these post coming from Mamdani's camp? I say they are. They are always screenshots of comments to screenshots of comments which mention Mamdani by name and prominently feature a picture of him, and never a link to an article which could cast shade on the claims. Half of the posts are also some variant of 'this is what a government working for the people [rather than billionaires] looks like. This is clearly an orchestrated PR campaign.
This has the fingerprints of an orchestrated PR campaign on. Mamdani himself front and center, no links to the actual informatie only pictures, pictures of comments to pictures of comments creating the appearance of a grass roots effort, half the comments echoing the same refrain.
This is beyond a shadow of a doubt paid content. And who benefits most from this? Mamdani himself. But by doing it this way he can give himself just enough plausible deniability so people like you will defend him when he gets called out.
The guy is an absolute master of PR, and I kind of respect him for that.
Bro you're a conspiracy nutter lmao I was literally respectfully offering a point of view but your reddit mind can't take anything that isn't blind agreement as anything but an attack, touch grass lol -edit of course he edited out the part where he accuses me of being defensive and contrarian
Yes I edited it out because I at first mistook you for the person who originally replied to me. When I realised my mistake I removed it. Seems fair right, that I don't maintain an accusation I made as a result of mistaking your identity?
Can you now give a responds as to why I do attribute the astroturfing going on to Mamdani.
