Date: June 25th, 2025 8:44 AM Author: animeboi (.) My dad asked me who I voted for and I said Mamdani. He immediately says "you voted for a MUSLIM?". He then told me that my girlfriend should start shopping for burkas. At a certain point I just had to change the subject. The rot is deep in this country.

Their entire thesis about the so-called dirtbag left being politically stillborn is, at minimum, destabilized. The “downtown new right art ho avant garde” is going to really take a hit - you will see how overhyped and inflated it always was.

Date: June 25th, 2025 9:15 AM Author: Annihilate Indians (AI) i don't think there's anything "political" actually going on with the support for this guy
he was just the Shitlib Team candidate in an election in the ground zero Gotham metropole headquarters of the Shitlib Team. the support for this guy was a function of the Shitlib Team tribal identity, not his actual politics or policies
you can pull up the videos of all the relatively young people wearing the Shitlib Team gear for this guy, dressed up, cosplaying as Shitlib Team members, going out to stump and vote for this guy. it's just a tribal identity. none of these people even care about his actual "policy" positions on anything or probably even know what they are, other than some sort of vague sense of "The Socialism, Which Is Heckin Good"
i don't think it makes any sense anymore to analyze politics in the US in any way other than looking at tribal identity. sometimes the tribal lines are straight up ethnic divides, sometimes they're Red Team / Blue Team. but nobody is voting on "policy" anymore |

Date: June 25th, 2025 9:24 AM Author: Annihilate Indians (AI) who knows if he's going to do any of that stuff (probably not)
the point is that nobody even thought about that stuff before casting their vote for him. it was never a factor in anyone's decision. people who self-identify as on The Shitlib Team voted for him because he was The Shitlib Team candidate, and no other reason
the same thing is going to happen going forward in every election. guys like "pete buttgay" are going to try to run against AOC in 2028 and campaign on "policies" and literally no one is going to care and AOC will get 3x his votes by just Being The Shitlib Team Candidate and dancing in tiktok videos and shit |

Date: June 25th, 2025 9:33 AM Author: LathamTouchedMe There were plenty of other progressive options. He took hold because of his wild and populist policy prescriptions including “freeze the rent”, City-owned grocery stores, and eliminating fares for buses. The slick commercials he had all focused on one of these ideas. At his victory party people chanted “freeze the rent!”.
The lesson here is take a page out of trump’s playbook and just repeat populist fantasy mantras. The establishment media that would have called you out on your bullshit is mostly dead and no one listens anyway. Just lie and go big. It’s certainly not a good lesson for governance. |
|
Date: June 25th, 2025 9:42 AM Author: Annihilate Indians (AI) nobody cared about his "policy positions." nobody in le 56% "america" cares about anyone's "policy positions." obviously he had slogans, every political candidate does. the content of the slogans doesn't matter, they're just something to repeat
it's irrelevant that there were other shitlib candidates. they weren't *The* Shitlib Team Candidate. he was. there can only be one homecoming king/queen. the other people don't matter. he was obviously The Shitlib Team Candidate so all the shitlibs voted for him. it's that simple |
|
Date: June 25th, 2025 9:46 AM Author: LathamTouchedMe Circular reasoning on your part. He started out with way less name recognition than almost everyone in the primary. There were other people running as far left progressives. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5743059&forum_id=2#49048285) |

Date: June 25th, 2025 9:50 AM Author: Annihilate Indians (AI) yeah and none of those people did anywhere near as convincing of a job as he did to present themselves as The Shitlib Team Candidate. he convinced these people that he was the representative of their tribe by *acting like* that's what he was. not by his "politics" and "policies"
people who think that current year american elections are decided on the candidates' "policies" are actually insane. history is going to look back at this delusion the same way we look back at lobotomies and leeches |

|
Date: June 25th, 2025 10:51 AM Author: Annihilate Indians (AI) honestly i figured that his qualifications and path to becoming The Shitlib Guy were pretty self-evident. but you can definitely go into specific detail on them: heavy social media use, targeted branding, cosmopolitanism, brown-yet-whitewashed image, etc
he's The Shitlib Candidate for the same reason people like AOC are: because they make themselves an attractive avatar for their constituency to project themselves onto. this is done mainly via social media. it's an established formula
i didn't follow this race but i assume that he was also a genuinely *better* Avatar Of Shitlibbery than the other candidates. he seems like he knows how to talk and present himself correctly and savvily within The Shitlib Cinematic Universe
the point is: this guy didn't win this election because of his stated "policies." it's crazy to think that. a lot of people are still stuck in the past when it comes to how "politics" in america now works |

Stand-alone Dissent - stand on a debate stage and be the only one to not raise your hand and you will win. -Trump refused to endorse the GOP primary winner. -Biden refused to say he would give free healthcare to illegal immigrants -zohran refused to say his first visit would be Israel
If you have these your politics are irrelevant people will just feel you are energetic competent and that you have balls. |
