I keep seeing "Mamdani won because he offered people what they want"

I don't see anyone finish the sentence though:

"...what they want, SOCIALISM".

People don't want to be food insecure! People don't want to be peasants! People don't want to be subjects of a king/ceo for 1/3 of their lives!

all they're seeing is far right vs nazis or just same thing vs same thing with a different paint job never something actually on the other end of the spectrum

ugh america doesn't even HAVE a "far left" in electable positions or even in positions to be elected for that matter

This is why leftist groups who aren't intersectional enough to care about antisemitism in addition to racism, sexism, LGBTQIA+, disabilities, etc get avoided by me. Any such group is by me tbh but if you're on the left & not aware enough of all marginalized groups you're performative at best.

Then there's the portion of them who basically are of a particular demographic with far too many societal advantages for their own good and don't really care about everyone else.

The intersection between them is high but not quite a circle.

And those are the sorts of folks nine times out of ten that centrists will refer to.

I'd say most if not all were a deliberate psyop to infiltrate and bring down leftist movements but too many are unwitting. Willing to bet a portion of them ARE tho and can easily sway folks like this.

Neither of them were remotely "far left". But they had been Bernie supporters. I had made the mistake of thinking people who liked him WERE somewhere on the left

Nope, that was definitely not always the case. But too often such folk WILL call themselves that even when they don't align more than 10%

I knew two such folks. They confided in me on election night in 2016 about their antisemitic conspiracy theories, Illuminati, "Jewish supremacy", whole bit.

They didn't know I'm Jewish. I got out of there so fast and cut them all off not long after, blocked all of their social media accounts.

helluva boss does a great job couching the darkest themes amongst a torrent of jokes without making the dark stuff itself a joke
