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’ve yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election, aside from him opposing primarying Chuck Schumer for some stupid fucking reason.

    Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich. Notice how the proletariat tends to win when we don’t engage in puritanical politics based off of red fascism.

      I’ve seen one today: “Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn’t work!”. Dude, he wasn’t mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn’t the problem here…

      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?

        I have seen a few, here is one I saved from some time back.

        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.

              🤣 zero (intentional) irony. Not you, you couldn’t possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!

              Consider this: if that’s true, why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.

      Source: I made it up

      I’ve seen many that are skeptical that he’ll stick to his promises but I don’t think any of that crowd would disagree that he was clearly the best option and a big step forward.

      Yeah, I’m also liking Mamdani. However, I may be traumatized because I don’t completely trust the situation. What did Mamdani tell Trump to make Trump support him so quickly? Trump did a 180 over night, and I want to know how Mamdani did that…

      Edit: I get that Trump is impressionable, fickle, and a boy of truly weak resolve. Yet, I still want to know what Mamdani did… not what we took advantage of. What was said?

        trump will literally agree with anyone he spends an hour talking to. He said he and walz had similar thoughts on what to do in ministota.
