Context on Lander’s Israel issues
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nyc-pension-investment-israeli-arms-173300901.html
Formerly a DSA member himself, he left after Al-Aqsa Flood
Critiques of Zohran that identify him as “national socialist” are looking more convincing every time he’s posted here.
Starting to think he’s a plant, what exactly was he doing before the DSA? The things he’s doing are not just incompatible with socialist beliefs but they’re barely compatible with most socdems, at least over here in europe most of the socdems would still never do this and most of them wouldn’t even call Cuba a dictatorship or any of that crap.
Like, he’s just straight up being a neoliberal as far as I can tell. And doing that while people believe he’s further left is going to lead people that were left leaning back into liberalism via his charisma.
Mistake by NYC DSA to endorse her if they are going to withdraw it at Mamdani’s behest. Makes them look weak and overrides the democratic will of the chapter. But the dominant factions in NYC DSA have made clear that they want to fully orient around Mamdani even at risk of damaging their internal democracy
Everyone loves a charismatic Zionist-adjacent social democrat, this time with feeling
This was a simple quid pro quo for Lander stepping aside in the primary.
Deals with the devil, now we get a progressive Zionist in office
Better than a centrist, aipac funded Zionist, no?
And worse than an antizionist DSA member, no? He just is a Zionist for the love of the game instead of money
Don’t worry, I know he’s the lesser of two evils (now that Mamdani coronated him over Avilés). Biden better than Trump and all that
Why don’t you run for mayor of New York if you’re so sure of what is to be done?
Do you realize how much like democrat-speak that sounds? But interesting that you’ve chosen to die on the Zionist hill
Biden better than Trump and all that
i dislike this comparison because there’s a meaningful difference between “nothing will fundamentally change” and the socdem “we should improve things somewhat”
True, it’s national socialism, we’ll give you buses and trains that run on time, in exchange for continuing the Zionism and imperialism
mayors famously having power over international matters.
That’s why he can support lander and keep Tisch on, right, because surrounding yourself with Zionists doesn’t matter when you’re only the smol bean mayor of New York City
