Truly handing control of our planet's resources to a handful of billionaire capitalists has proven successful, I mean who needs democracy and human rights when "innovators" can handle things as well as this?

He makes an honest point about racism and nationalism, even if inadvertently - belief in white supremacy requires such delusions that you ditch all previous morals to chase the racial fantasy.
He only needs to see non-white people he perceives as foreign to dismiss paedophilia. The right wing mind.

They have to write asinine garbage like this because a genuine reflection on what gave Mamdani such an effusive win would contain severe indictments for the neo-liberal right wing slump mainstream politics has spent decades rotting into.
And... he's openly progressive and wants a move to the left!

Fascism, no matter how loud its supporters, is wildly unpopular, and offering policies and actions that directly oppose its tenets can yield great success.
Will liberals learn this lesson and take a step (or 20) towards the left?

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

"Capitalism inspired innovation" might better be understood as "capitalism lets an elite group of capitalists dominate the market and drag it into whatever hideous profit-making schemes they want, whether anyone likes it or not"
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Right wing politics have fallen so far into culture war nonsense precisely because it distracts from the fact capitalism has utterly failed to address the climate crisis, and solving it requires serious change to the conservative worldview.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

A clear reminder that even with millions poured into anti-LGBTQ advertising, campaigning, policy etc. by the far-right, the trans panic is an artificial issue, made relevant only by the incessant noise bigots make about it.
Trans rights are human rights - any opposition to fascism requires this!

Right wing political doctrine imposes itself on the professionals whose labour is trapped by the confines of the market.
Healthcare is a human right, and dentists wishing to provide this see their wants curtailed by the profit motivation artificially tethered to their practice.
