    Absolutely nobody is anywhere near as good at selling Mamdani as the people that hate him the most. I love it.

    hes getting free press, the same tactic used with trump that benefitted him worked both ways.

    MAGAs always get excited about their little tricks until they realize those same tricks can be used against them, too. Then they get pissy.

    Only if we're lucky will a new wave of leftists like Mamdani use the tricks. For some strange reason the moderates are above such dirty tricks for decorum and preserving unity.

    Even if I put my head into a rabid MAGA, I don't see any insults. The right wing is really grasping for straws.

    That’s the Murdoch family, so while yes, they’ve always been conservative (one of the sons is not actually a conservative), it’s more accurate to say the ultra wealthy are grasping at straws. MAGA doesn’t support Israel’s pushing us into war with Iran, so as you stated, they wouldn’t buy this issue based on that cover, but billionaires and other special interest groups sure would love for everyone to buy this narrative.

    that is why ISrael is trying to buy christian conservative influence more and more, they need far-right christian on thier side. the popular shtick is with the far right is anti-semitism, thats why it also rubbed right wing pundits, like ownes, tucker carlson,mtg the wrong way, also Charlie kirk who "died right after he display dispealsure towards israel.

    It's just emotional chum for the right wing to stay frothy at the out-group. Even though many of them would benefit from DSA or further left policies, they're drunk on group identity. (See also: every right wing accusation is a confession, "identity politics")

    They can never explain what's bad about socialism, they just know that it is.

    If you want to have real fun with them ask them why they are so against socialism when it's already practised every day for corporations. LLCs are a socialist compatible idea, so are bail outs and debt restructuring. How come they're always fine with it then?

    Their point is people always justify corporate bailouts because of some social good. But then turn around an act appalled when you suggest taking out the corporate middle man and just providing services directly to the people.

    They will do anything to make him seem like a creep, but he isn’t. He’s just like a normal guy. And a pretty good looking one of that.

    Edit: the sexiest, hottest thing about this guy is that his perfectly normal (and he IS very sexy and hot). What does that say about our society? What does that say about us?

    There is no reality in which NYPost turns down a chance to hate both cyclists and Muslims at the same time. Those are like their two favorite things to do.

    As much as I like Mamdani, that is a pretty poor posture for riding a bike.
    You gotta use the balls of your feet! It's much more effiecient and comfortable

    He is riding a short distance in dress shoes, not racing. His priority is having his shoes not slip off the pedals, not peak efficiency.

    I usually ride my bike casually, not racing either, and I still like the bikeride to not be heavier than it needs to be.
    That said, I have never cycled using dress shoes, so that might be a valid point.
