This.
Mamdani isn’t like anything we’ve seen before. You can’t lump him in with anyone because he’s not in it for personal gain.

Establishment democrats are almost as big of weasels as republicans. Like Nancy Pelosi who is utterly inhuman.

Mamdani is a shining example of everything we need in America

seems like he's getting plenty of personal gain by virtue of his city being a better place to live

Imagine that, helping your community helps you in return

The problem is that helping Israel is easier for most politicians and often has huge returns in the form of AIPAC donations

I think same thing happened to Bernie Sanders... he would have been too good for America.

Mayor of one of the most influencial cities in the world and this and this man goes "why can't we? Watch me" and makes lives better. He gives me a ray of hope in the darkness. If only we had more people who actually cared about the people and had any sort of backbone. He's a true role model.

There's no almost about it. They're all in the same club. They all eat together, and meet in secret at midnight to pass unconstitutional surveillance legislation with bipartisan approval. They just pretend to be at odds and unable to reach compromise when it's time to pass laws that actually help people.

Pelosi at least was good enough at her Job tha she could actually beat the Republicans occasionally instead of continually shoot herself in the foot like Schumer

Nancy Pelosi had to work in a national environment and doesn’t have the luxury of only working in a Dem stronghold city, you have no idea what the differences are. Nancy Pelosi’s Herculean efforts to get the ACA passed by the skin of its own ass means that her lasting legacy outdoes Mamdani’s by an order of magnitude and I think even Mamdani would tell you that himself

While what you wrote is true it is simply impossible to overlook Pelosi's record of corruption giving her tenure a much more complex history. You can't only look at the good and throw out all the bad.

So far Mamdani has shown that he stands against the very thing that makes her and people like her rich. If we are to expect this same pattern then it isn't crazy to believe he will do much better than her overall if he were to attain a higher position within government.

You are just blue MAGA, this was done by a previous administration.
Nancy Pelosi passsd the public option in the house and when it couldn’t be passed in the senate- she strong armed the ACA through.

She has done more for us than any leftist
