Thank you for reposting the clips of interesting.

This guy needs to get off CNN on go hit the left-wing podcast circuit. It put Mamdani into office, not CNN.

Why is she just laughing at the end. Uncomfortable because she had to cut him off there?

people really don't appreciate just how powerful the truth is, in a world where we are lied to constantly.

everybody in this country who has ever had to put in an honest days work in their life knows exactly who is fucking them over, whether it's their boss not paying enough or state/federal goons shaking their business over if they don't play ball. this is part of why the conservative propaganda machine works so well.

they offer a slice of the truth, there's somebody controlling things behind the scenes etc. (filling in the rest with bullshit of course).

meanwhile the schumers and pelosi's give some obvious fake bullshit about how we're all in this together, when we can literally look up every time any D/R betrayed their constitutes (not that they actually try to win those "safe" R districts anyway, being controlled opposition). Like...how can Pelosi say with a straight face on TV that "trading his her husbands thing, i dont know anything about that" when you can literally see in real time she day trades...lying ass bitch

everybody knows the fucking game now, saying anything other than the truth just loses you voters. seen very clearly with kamala's campaign after biden stepped down, she actually might have won it if it weren't obvious after the 2nd week that she was just going to be another Obama lying about Hope and Change

Glad to see he is getting air time. Pelosi needs to go.

I'm guessing he's fairly new to politics. There are small miscalculations in how he presents his arguments that allow bootlickers of the ruling class to smile and move on. I would suggest he take a look at Sanders, Mamdani and AOC. Displaying anger as a PoC is always a risky business and men like Mamdani and Obama have had to demonstrate incredible levels of discipline and restraint to "hold court" so to speak. AOC does get very passionate at times and it has been used against her (being a women makes it even more challenging). Sanders is white and super old so anger from him is often instinctually perceived as legitimate as long as he doesn't go completely off the deep end.

Lots of potential. Hope Saikat keeps at it.

NSPM 7 says you can’t be anti-Christian nor anti-capitalist.

These things are mutually exclusive.

I'll take the well informed young'n over the mummy with seniority thanks.

Right-wing mouthpiece supporting unpopular Pelosi.
