The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

There's a lot of criticism around socialist entryism that is valid & good to temper the adulation over Mamdani's win - but it's certainly very funny seeing the soul-ugliest people on Earth exclaiming that they will walk into the sea because a Muslim is pledging to give them free public transport.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

My proudest moment as an Arsenal supporter was when Alexandre Lacazette (and his teammates) knelt in front of the Slavia Prague players, who refused to do the same, after one of their players had racially abused Rangers player Glen Kamara in the previous match.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

So Farage wants to cut the minimum wage for young people and super charge deregulation? Of course he does. He’s a speculator, a yuppie, a Thatcherite. He’s not on your side – unless you happen to be a wealthy financial trader.

I don't know if that's true anymore. Real newspapers have a limited scope, the erosion of local news means that the bar for stuff to get reported on is quite high, and I see stuff on TikTok all of the time that people is saying is happening in their communities that I have no way to verify
I feel one million years old here, but we do actually have a pretty reliable way of knowing what news is true. Did a real newspaper publish it? Then probably yes. Can’t find it in a real newspaper? Maybe not.
A large majority of U.S. adults now get news digitally, but nondigital news consumers are less likely to say they extremely often or often encounter inaccurate news.

how are we supposed to have anything besides a low-trust society when the media refers to airstrikes that kill 100 people as a 'threat' to a ceasefire, or offers the logic that a ceasefire is something that can be unilaterally paused whenever Israel gets the urge to kill.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk you're a transphobe and you're irrelevant. Any liberal worth their salt would recognise that the supreme court ruling is horseshit. You disgust me. The libdems deserved to burn in 2015, I hope the greens eat your lunch.
