Honeymoon phase OVER!! Stable, long term relationship phase built on mutual respect has STARTED.
Beat me to it. No longer are they dreaming of what things will look like, they are seeing the results and the reality of what it looks like to have someone actually care about their well being. May we all be so lucky, honestly.
No way! There's LOTS of... um... {insert preferred term for "strenuous activities" here} left to return to the ruling class. The fun(d)s just getting started! Endless Honeymoon!
Corporate media will be fearmongering over progressives all the way through 2028 election and beyond, so I guess get used to it. This is literally what they’re paid to do, and if you’re anti-Zionist, it goes double. Lies, FUD, hatchet jobs, anything to protect the billionaires who own those networks.
WSJ can suck my salty balls.
And since The Constitution says Trump can't run again, it doesn't matter that The Constitution says Mamdani can't run either!
Non-american here, why wouldn't Mamdani not be able to run for president?
Gotta be born American.
Like, there's been debate about children of US military born overseas, even in a US military base which is for all intents legally American soil.
Edit:
And to clarify, Mamdani ain't trying to change that
People just started saying it.
Not sure if i agree with that rule but if that's what the majority of the people want; sure, why not.
When they made (it's an amendment) it made sense to limit foreign influence.
We still have foreign influence, but imagine an America where a dictator is deposed so they get refugee status and seize power legally. That is why the amendment passed.
Especially in the early days, America was worried about what would become our bread and butter.
The truth about Mamdani is America is full of people eligible to be president who would do just as good of a job.
The risk outweighs the reward.
Mamdani could still be a senator, and serve as long as he's elected.
Like, part of fixing our government, is taking a shit ton of power away from the president. We can't really do that till we get a progressive Congress, but that's the end goal, we don't want consolidated power, because that makes it easily corrupted.
If we don't limit Presidential power, we know Republicans and neoliberals never will.
IIRC, can't be a naturalized citizen.
Only USAian born citizen can be elected, Mamdani was born in Uganda. That's why there was the whole conspiracy theory about Obama being born in Haiti
How odd for a Murdoch sewer rag to go after a progressive politician who’s running their town.
I thought the WSJ was a Bezos bootlicker rag? But same difference.
Nah, that's the Washington Post.
