We need more communist lunatics, then

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 weeks ago

Never heard of this Mamdani, but if trump hates them, pretty good chance they're on the right side of history.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

The answer has always been to lean into it, not fight it.

It's like jumping off a bridge cuz someone called you a nerd, even tho the bridge isn't over water.

Can't take the bait.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For sure. If Trump's raving about you, you must be doing something right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

You probably mean raging. If he's raving about you it's not a good sign.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 weeks ago

Republicans and Democrats are scared shitless of this guy. And all he is, is a primary winner for mayor.

If it's that easy, I say go fucking go Mamdani!

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Despite all the headlines, I really hope Mamdani’s team has a damn good plan, because they’re going to be attacked pretty hard from all sides in the general. I wish they guy success, but the establishment’s going to fight him tooth and nail.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it's going to be crazy. The scariest part is that most people communicate using platforms that (being generous) will not benefit from his policies.

I'm still optimistic they can get people hyped up for the class war.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ton of dumb people still believe in the communist is evil propaganda . It's so insane

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean he's older than the USSR and he's German.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump is older than the USSR? Wouldn't that make him like 103?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

USSR was... 1922 to 1991? So 69 years old. Trump is older than the Soviet union.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, he's been alive longer than the USSR lasted, not that he's been alive since before it was founded.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thats true, but I'm positive he meant that as in older than its age from birth to death. Not in the. "I can say the baby is older because it was born in 1699 and died at 1 month old." sense.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

That is the most impressive endorsement for this dude, he must be legit

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

If Trump doesn't like him, you know he is a good guy.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

The people at the top are afraid of democracy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Socialism is much different than communism. He should pick one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Half of people on lemmy don't know the difference, expecting it of trump is straight up delusional.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

When every democratic politician left of Pat Buchanan for the last 30 years has been called a RADICAL SOCIALIST LUNATIC, not sure what impact “no, but really this time!” is expected to have.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like a great ad for Mamdani!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Good luck to America on this grueling quest to become a democratic nation. I'm rooting for you, but I am not too hopeful.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So once again, trump and centrists agree.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Ahh booooooo scaredy pants trump. Why is he so insecure?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I find it really annoying how Communist and Socialist are two words used interchangeably by these people.

They're two very different ideas.

I was at the grocery the day after he won the primary, and I saw the New York Post stack of newspapers, with a sensationalized headline about him. I nearly bought all the copies to throw in the trash-

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely don’t buy them.

Flip the entire stack upside down and walk away.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He looks TERRIBLE

lol

You know this is what trump is most angry about.

Edit: he knows Ivanka will give him her Justin Trudeau look

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's crazy to me how much time can pass and they still use the ancient name calling—AND people still react to it. Insane

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Takes one to know one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Trump lacks the brains or cognition to be a lunatic.
