Always a darling of the far left, Mamdani has earned praise from both President Donald Trump and former Democratic critics like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.

              The one where you’re acting like that or the one above it where you’re acting like that? A “realist” blames the ruling class vs the rest of us. Not the left or the right.

                    “Liberal” is referring to the pro-corporate oligarchy wing of the DNC. Someone is saying “corpo bad” and you’re saying “no, corpo bad” as though you think that’s some sort of refutation rather than illuminating your lacking reading comprehension.
