That's the most badass nickname I've heard in a long time
post
Earning a nickname like that from Fox News would be a crowning achievement for me.
Zohran the Destroyer?
Meet Nandor the Relentless!
Trust me, gay is in, gay is hot, I want some gay.
I can't see this host's stupid face without thinking of that clip where his own mother berates him for being a hack on air for everybody to see
Eww disgusting, where?
she actually gives good advice, it's not just random complaining. she sounds like a nice person.
He looks like if Eli Roth was a self-hating alcoholic.
Is Eli Roth not a self-hating alcoholic?
If ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER actually destroys the GOP, I won't complain. If he needs to stomp the current DEMs into the ground for that, well, that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
That's a sacrifice I'm likely to encourage!
I would celebrate if he destroys the DNC as well. Burn it all down and start from scratch.
Nah, we just need a purge. Mumdani is the new spiritual leader of the party, the rank and file are signalling a pivot, and the leadership are some of the most hated people in America
I think the biggest threat is someone like Gabe Newson managing to take the reigns as a "centrist".
But the old guard is pretty much done for. There's way too much public demand for fighters, and the current leadership are collaborators
Zohran the Destroyer for president 2028
Don’t do that, don’t give me hope.
Shocking stupidity or malicious compliance? 👀 Let's hope it's the latter, lol.
Edit: oh wait, it's Fox News, it's definitely the former.
Fuck yeah, we got a destroyer! Destroy all hate and bring peace to the people! Destroy systems that bring struggle to the people! Destroy all suffering!
Trump wrecked the Republican Party that turned out great for them. I have been waiting for somebody to wreck this party.
Gozer The Gozerian
Vigo The Carpathian
ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER
He needs this on his office door. It'd really set the tone for meetings.
You don't mess with the Zohran.
Some adventurous journalist should ask Arnie what he thinks about that nickname.
I like how the Republicans are painting him as a Communist, when they are the ones supporting Communist regimes. From what i heard from him, he's a Democratic socialist, that's pretty much the standard here in Europe. good on NY. If you think about it, not even the Millionaires want to live in the middle of desperate poor people... some has to be given back to society.
"What is best in life Zohran?"
Dude should license some Basil Poledouris theme music. Get some wizardy guy to do a new intro -- maybe ask Bernie for a hand. "Let me tell you of a time of EQUIIITABLE treaatment!!"
I'm sure, whatever insult name they give him will be badass and he should use it in his campaign.
Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin.
speaking of which, he has such a cool name. both first and last.
when people chanted his name before his victory speech it was like a scene from a movie. kudos to Tish James for hyping people up like crazy. played like a transcript:
"They said he doesn't have the right name!"
BOOOO
"Well now they all know his goddamn name!"
crowd erupts, mics explode
MAM-DA-NI! MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
"what's his name?"
MAM-DA-NI!
... repeat
I'm super conservative and don't live in NYC but am really enjoying this election result.
Serious question, if you are super conservative why are you enjoying it?
Super conservatives hate NYC, so he probably thinks destroying it is a good thing.
Projection maybe? NYC is already a corrupt shit hole. There's not much left to destroy. I've lived there and it sucks. You literally get black gunk in your nose from the poor air quality. You can never see the stars. Everyone there is high on copium thinking just because they ride a subway to work they are saving the world. In reality NY is a big pile of trash. Perhaps the most unnatural living conditions of any "city" I've ever visited. Furthermore a Muslim with no love for Israel won the primary. It's going to be wild to see how that goes. More Jews live in NYC than Tel Aviv.
Because Democrats are dealing with someone that doesn't fit their mold. He's a product of their policies and philosophy but doesn't walk the party line. Meanwhile mainstream Conservatives are making up reasons for why they are so upset that a super liberal city elected a super liberal which should be expected. The reality is they are dancing around the fact that he's not submissive to the Israel lobby and that makes them freak out. He's liberal sure but he's a liberal that's not going to be kissing a wall anytime soon.
Liberals are center-right. Anti-regulation, anti-guardrails, anti-equity, anti-accountability, etc. Like conservatives, they are defined by all the things they are against. Mamdani is thankfully not liberal, which is precisely why he has voters excited while liberals and conservatives are having meltdowns.
You're just playing word games. You know what I mean.
I really don’t. Words do have meanings. If you use the wrong words people are going to assume you are talking about the things you are actually saying because they have no way of knowing what’s in your head.
Just ask my wife if she knows what I mean when I ask if she knows where “that doohickey” is. And that’s a fair bit better than a stranger on the internet talking about a “screwdriver” when they really meant “band saw.”
Edit: Also, Lemmy users are almost always on the same page when it comes to the word “liberal.” Even tankies agree on that one.
Liberal is culturally interchangable the term "progressive". Intellectually the "progress" inevitably leads to socialism. This guy is someone who is unashamedly taking that next step. I suppose we agree that he's being intellectually and spiritually honest in doing so. Most of the time the socialism/communism talk is simply used to entice the masses and drum up votes. He seems earnest in that from what I know.
