“Billionaires are spending outrageous sums to stop Mamdami.” is an incredible endorsement.

@rmondello
Aside from his great policies and political world view, nothing helps his campaign more than attacks from Trump, Cuomo, Adams, Bloomberg, the corporate media, and shitLib Zionist Democrats like Schumer.

@rmondello I find Mamdani platform interesting, it is much the same as what we had for a government in the 60's & 70's and then we were trying to get Medical and UBI. Strange. We even had conservatives that supported LBGT(it took a while to add the rest) and cleaning up the planet, air & water..global warming, some knew most didn't. But the base is that his platform and what Biden/Harris are much the same. I don't understand why the left doesn't just bring all that back and get busy.

@rmondello

The more money they pour in the more support for Mamdani should grow.

Their support should be the kiss of death. And any money spent to interfere or stop a candidate should be the best endorsement..

They don't like the kind of socialism that benefits everyone."

So Much for Socialism

The Trump regime is using the specter of socialism to make America even more authoritarian. The regime will lose.

‘Socialism for the rich’: the evils of bad economics

The long read: The economic arguments adopted by Britain and the US in the 1980s led to vastly increased inequality – and gave the false impression that this outcome was not only inevitable, but good
