The Zohran Mamdani victory is reminiscent of that Obama 2008 win.. When elected officials become heroes and saviors, movements get crushed because of the delusion of succeeding in changing the system from within.

💯💯💯💯💯 Zohran, as a Democratic nominee, represents nothing but the rotten system he is part of.

it's a good point bc politics is more about marketing than policy these days & people are suckers for the superficial. the same machine that tried to block ZM won't stop trying to contain him now that he's in office; he's got a tough job. but i don't think he's counterfeit.

Obama's Hope & Change turned out to be merely an empty campaign slogan. Citicorp execs wrote his economic policies. He bailed out Wall Street banks responsible for the housing bubble crash. Overseeing the biggest decline in Black wealth during his 8 yr term.

These were my thoughts exactly while listening to Mamdani's acceptance speech. Reminds me of Obama's speech in 2008. Been there before.

They will wake up to another fraud like Obama who will serve his purpose as a Talmudist pressure valve to redirect the attention from a genocidal cabal to stories about a "Muslim" mayor and his failures.

There would have to be a movement to begin with. This is inorganic as fuck.

Obama was being groomed by the powers that be by the end of bush’s first term but you’re mostly correct

how is that possible? NYC is an extremely blue city. Obama won Iowa. leftists are mentally ill.
Replying to @Raja48
Are you aware that we are living in an era of the resurrection of fascism where leftism is heavily marginalized? What movement is gonna be crushed, american leftists on twitter? His victory can only do us a favour, 0 harm
