Imo you’re underrating the effect of much of the D establishment signaling “be afraid of Mamdani” instead of backing him. Sure, Cuomo is a crap candidate, but he got a ton of funding and was basically a second D choice in the general. If it was just Mamdani v Sliwa I think he would’ve broken 60%.

Unreal. Both the Democratic "Moderate Party" candidates quoted here lost by 8 points while the most important city in the country, one county over, elected a Muslim socialist immigrant for mayor

Settlement in the occupied territories is terrorism (often explicitly, with horrific accompanying violence, and fully backed by the current Israeli administration). So the story is that Zohran criticized an organization for encouraging terrorism. It’s framed here as a faux pas for some reason

Interestingly critical chyron from Fox here

He really thought he had the checkmate there but, unfortunately for him, even our messed up jail-obsessed country wins this particular bleakass matchup

I think we saw the resistance echoed (at least via lip service) by the big corps and institutions in the first term because they didn’t think Trump would actually come after them. Now they know he will, so they’ve all caved. Feels different even if the people are showing up to fight en masse

It’s so Trump to demand the executions of a bunch of Democrats, take a break to absolutely chill and love life with the handsome new leftist mayor of NYC who has long called him a fascist, and then get back to yelling at the original group of Democrats

They can talk about affordability and fighting oligarchy all they want, and should. But the #1 thing that is going to turn out the base is the promise of some accountability, any accountability, for the horrors we’ve watched unfold. Any Democrat who commits to both these things is a contender imo

Would love for them to consider the option of not doing this bullshit

Like sure he gets a friendly photo op, but Fox is clearly confused and alarmed by the whole thing. The Truth Social crowd is furious. Zohran is a mayor and he’s gotta deal with him somehow, and I am confident he’s not gonna compromise his vision (including the parts that challenge Trump directly)
November 22, 2025 at 4:09 PM
I’m sure I’m missing something, but apart from not picking a fight with a popular new rising star, I guess I don’t understand how Trump benefits from this. His base hates it and Zohran conceded nothing (that I know of). Zohran’s people wanted the meeting, I assume to do exactly this (disarm Trump)?

It’s literally just the babylon bee except instead of unfunny punchlines they write whole articles about the weirdass right-wing grievances they dream up

I have to respect that you’ve crushed the like button on all the disapproving replies you’ve received. Talk about polite!

The truth? Nah we prefer to be polite here at the Times

I feel like a lot more lawyers should be losing their licenses lately but I’m sure it’s not that simple if you know how this shit actually works

Well, I may not agree with the man, but at least it’s clear that he has the even temper, sturdy reasoning and unbiased wisdom to be a fine member of our judiciary

I swear to god the algorithm landscape has birthed ten thousand bland looking creeps in suits with names like Blake B Blaine and Robertt Roberttsen who have all made millions of dollars creating white supremacist ragebait on youtube and X

I mean neither of our NY senators endorsed Zohran, and Jeffries clearly had to be hounded to do it. The screenshot OP is misconstruing Raskin’s joke, but at the same time it is kind of the current state of the party that an arch-conservative potential convert is usually treated better than a leftist
November 18, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Ah yes, the prudent actions of a totally innocent man with nothing to hide
