In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

    I just headed over to .ml and did a local search for “mamdani”

    I see a bunch of the more conservatives Democrats and their supporters complaining about him and conservatives of all stripes are really hoping he’ll fail.

    I’ve been called a tankie several times and I rather like Mamdani. I see him, AOC, and Sanders as the best hope for the future of the US.

    Where are these tankies that hate Mamdani so much? What do they hate him for?

      something something he kept a “genocide supporter” on his cabinet

      note, the biggest compliant about him from the other side is that he has too many pro-palestinians in his cabinet

      A lot of things get removed from .ml so its hard to go back find things sometimes. If you are around lemmy a while you will find quite a few takes from tankies.

        Idk, the post calls him infiltrator but there is -54 likes. It just looks like general .ml likes Mamdani.

        Also if they are removing the posts and comments against him, doesn’t that mean he is liked over there?

          Hard to say, I have seen a few that outright don’t like him. But more of a he isn’t as far to our liking overall.
