We really gotta just ignore Adams from here out. Whether these are his ideas or the influence of the many special interests who have paid him off, he's done with NYC and we should be done with him.

Chi will win or lose endorsement based on the votes of NYC-DSA members just like everyone else. Zohran can speak on it if he wants. Some will listen, some won't and most will do what they think is best. Honestly you're all so used to the bullshit you can't grasp functioning democracy anymore.

Trump credibly took "Helping struggling Americans" from the Democrats. Mamdani won on the same message and actually wants to do it. When Trump is friendly to Mamdani it shores up his populist, maverick mythology.

Trump loves charismatic people and always buys into their things until he talks to a different charismatic person.

Plus this was great for ratings and that's his North Star.

Larry Summers

This guy has found a different way to be an important piece of shit every five years since E.T. came out. The fucking Forrest Gump of educated, dickless fuck boys.

Championing the undersized Obama stimulus and obliterating a decade of American development was enough.

Handing over Russia to oligarchy was enough. Running many many talented female economists out of the business was enough. Publicly arguing that women are intellectually inferior was enough. This guy's list of disqualifying actions is so much longer than his list of achievements.

RIGHT?! What's the chance that sender and recipient are locked in on the meanings here? It's gobbledygook!

Generational antagonism is what we do in the US because too many of us have never heard of class antagonism.
