I find it so funny that many online dems and center-fetishists cry about the left being intransigent and dogmatic, and when someone in the party or party-adjacent voices the slightest criticism they are all "undermining this" and "sabotaging that".

They all demand the blind and ultimate loyalty and party discipline that they decry "authoritarian" states force people to have. If this was a lower-ranked official voicing criticism of the Mayor of Shanghai or Havana, they'd be all defending their right to free speech and saying how in bad country you can't criticize leadership.

There's even evidence that relentless criticism actually gets you results in American politics. The tea party, evangelical churches, and, more recently, Trump loyalists did nothing but hound more standard GOP politicians for years until their craziness became the party mainstream. Why wouldn't anyone apply the same playbook?

Given the source, I’m not going to take this claim seriously

• DAC is correct, so idc what the reaction from mamdani's camp is.
• I'm not interested in the NY post's framing of the topic. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons makes me extremely skeptical.

Cannot fail; can only be failed

Sleeper agent activation phrase.

Anti-Mamdanists have been completely vindicated. Why are all of his staffers a bunch of whiny zionists? He hand picked them.

Is whatever post Chevalier is holding not allowed to contradict the office of mayor or something?
