I’ve been seeing a bunch of people saying that he’s not really anti-Zionist because he says Israel has a right to exist “as a state with equal rights” rather than saying they don’t have a right to exist and that he’s not actually a Lefty because he isn’t making like huge sweeping promises before even getting into office officially.
It honestly just sounds like more “Holier Than Thou, I’m The Better Leftist” LARP that the Online Left seems to love engaging in.
Edit: Oh and people taking him talking about the talks he’s had with Jewish New Yorkers about the whole “Globalize Intifada” smear the wrong way. I guess some have taken it as him capitulating to the Zionists when I guess to me it sounds more like he’s just saying that he understands that he had a different view on what those words meant than other people apparently did not that he’s changing his views or anything.
I’d personally be way more excited about Mamdani if he hadn’t called Cuba and Venezuela dictatorships at a time when the US is ramping up aggression in the region. It really feels like helping manufacture consent and capitulating to the US empire. I hope he does a lot of good for y’all, but I personally don’t trust him as a latina living in Latin America.
Don’t worry though, totally-not-zionist “lefty” Mandani got elected, he’ll tots take care of the homeless and defo not fall into this pattern!
What?

They’re a troll, this is a normal rage bait comment they make
😁 Classic worlder lib
Marxist: “There’s a fake leftist among us”
Libs: “HOW DARE YOU! our prized New York Lies told us he’s EXTREMELY left!!! TanKiE TrOlL!”
It’s jibberish. Might as well be calling Trump a TERF or complaining that Andrew Cuomo isn’t Italian.
