"People keep fear mongering Mamdani by saying he will bring religious extremism to NYC. Babes I don’t know how to say this gently…the religious extremists are already in federal office. They are Christian Nationalists and their agenda has nothing to do with Christ. They are cult extremists who have appropriated the name of Jesus and are now withholding food from the poor. The extremism is here and has been here."
~ Bonni Mace
"That [Mamdani] was appealing to a majority electorate despite the open hostility of wealthy elites and mainstream opinion-makers is at least an indictment of the narrowly self-gratifying and suffocatingly enclosed world they’ve built for themselves."
~ Timothy Burke

"It won’t be long before the editors and billionaires feed that machine a new set of prompts about Mamdani’s shortcomings. In their vision of the world, he will have always already failed before he ever actually begins."
I've always had at least one troll — a self-described "lifelong Republican" and apparently as proud as a peacock of that self-designation — hop into my feed today and try the game re: Mamdani Burke describes here.
