The Democrats will accept Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent before they accept Zohran Mamdani.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

yes, Mamdani *is* radical on immigration by the standards of most major European politicians - name the major European politicians who advocate for immigrants, especially non-white ones, as human beings and not just mere economic units. It’s a short list and we all know it is.
Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.
