Even if you didn’t vote for this, if you are an American this has been done in your name and you have a responsibility to do what you can to renounce and stop it. It’s not fair, but it is the duty that has been placed on us.

People keep sharing this but it's fake. Even I was immediately suspicious when I saw it the first time. As daring and forward-thinking as the mayor is on transportation and safe streets, putting it like this would be political suicide.

stop handing the mantle of Real Americans to these traitorous dipshits
this is our country too and we have much more respect for it than they do
they don’t get the concept of patriotism, they don’t get the flag (they revere a traitor flag anyway), let ‘em move to Hungary if they love Orban so much

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

more to the point, while there is going to be obvious daylight between him and Hochul I don't really think either of them can afford a Cuomo/de Blasio relationship in the near-future, and neither of them are really inclined to have one
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.
