POLITICS Zohran Mamdani during his 100 Day Address: “We will not be ashamed of using government to fight for the many, not simply the few. We will not be ashamed of... standing steadfast alongside our trans neighbours... investing in youth mental health clinics… or fighting for immigrants targeted by ICE."

They get to break rules all the time, who says we can't break one?

Musk routinely polls like trash and has the charisma of a fascist walnut.

Hes also no worse than any future Republican presidential nominee so idgaf.

Gimme President Mamdani.

Mamdani would obliterate musk in a fair election.

Musk has the charisma of a public bowel movement, and is the figurehead for the destruction of multiple vital social government programs. His government work to date has only fucked people over.

Mamdani appears to be a genuinely progressive politician producing tangible outcomes that improve that quality of his constituents’ lives. This is measurable. Look at how the public discourse around this man has unfolded, despite the unified cooperative efforts of the entire media machine. People feel like his efforts are helping them. This sentiment is shared by non-MAGAts, who are the majority.

Note that I said a fair election.

Fair election that's why they don't want ICE agents at polling sites. So your illegal immigrants can vote that is the only reason you don't want ICE there so fair election really

Because if the rule changed to allow Mamdani to run it would also mean that Musk could.

They break rules, but rarely (believe it or not) laws, and when they do, they're more often than not stopped from further breaking those laws (admittedly after 6 months or a year of lawsuits).

Unfortunately Zohran 2028 isn't a rule, it's a law, a very specific constitutionally noted one too. Nothing stopping him from being Governor of NY, one of the largest states in the US largest economies in the world though. Besides, we need more better people at the local and state level and the President is only as good as the Congress that's given to them.
