He's not even sworn in and fucking Politico is counting him out. With journalists like Politico's and the New York Times', who needs enemies?

@jeffjarvis He opposes genocide and he was elected thanks to ranked-choice voting, where voters pick platforms that appeal to them rather than being forced to vote or of fear. It's like "vote blue no matter who, except not this guy".
He's being attacked by centrists and corporatists. It's what they do. Remember AOC's campaign.
@jeffjarvis Editorial rule number one: always present vaguely left policies as impossible, unaffordable and unattainable (even if they have proven to work elsewhere)
@jeffjarvis
This is why I don't read far-right media like Politico.
@jeffjarvis @blogdiva Not really a surprise, is it? Politico is owned by Axel Springer press, who also own Bild (German Sun equivalent), and Welt (Bild but for people who consider themselves above reading hate mongering rainbow press).
@jeffjarvis Thank you for not putting the link, Jeff. Politico doesn't deserve the traffic.
@pabloniusmonk Thanks. A journalist at another of the socials is giving me shit for not linking. It's a "totally normal" piece, he said. That is no defense, eh?
@jeffjarvis "Totally normal" for who?
Another standard Politico hit piece. Zohran Mamdani will quickly prove Nick Reisman, its Albany bureau chief, and Joe Anuta, who covers NYC city all, wrong. But why are they doing this?
@jeffjarvis
There are two issues
They have time/space fill if they want to be paid
And too many people are addicted to the anger
Breath
He hasn't started yet
@jeffjarvis Rinse & repeat. Fck that noise.
@jeffjarvis Politico is owned by Springer Verlag. That should tell you enough.
@jeffjarvis tomorrow, NYC will party regardless.
@jeffjarvis How kind of them to point out pitfalls for him to avoid!
@jeffjarvis How they abhor good people who serve the many not the already rich few
@jeffjarvis @pluralistic When did Politico hire a journalist?
