As much as I wish I could agree that he pulled through…
First paragraph: great. If only the post ended here.
Second paragraph: I’m gonna… uhm… increase the coordination with the repressive state apparatus to Increase Safety™.
Third paragraph: Anyways, we as New Yorkers don’t really have to fear any retaliation from Iran, so no worries, you can go back to brunch after you express your dissent on social media.
And don’t get me wrong. It IS a genuine improvement over “Maduro is a dictator” approach to US foreign policy, so critical support is due.
I feel like the third paragraph is definitely directed at Iranians worried about getting hate crimed considering the US’ history with this sort of thing.
Oh shit, I actually missed that he said Iranian New Yorkers. I retract the point about the third paragraph then. The post is not bad actually.
This is the best you will get from an american politician, be glad he is not condemning Iran for defending itself!
Exactly.
@pete_link @Susan_calvin is there any way to talk #Zohran (@NYCMayor) into getting out of X and e.g. into Mastodon – or at least Bluesky+bridgy?
He needs to get off the fence, one side or the other.
Bro literally put both his feet on one side of the fence. Shut the fuck up
I will speak the truth whenever I please.
When do you plan to start?
“I say whatever i want to”
Anti intellectualism in a single sentence. Your ignorance isn’t truth. It’s your opinion and that’s it.
nah see maeve here is a single issue voter and mamdani hasn’t firmly addressed their single issue yet
do yourself a favor and elaborate? because he clearly stated that he will protect Iranian new Yorkers who are at risk of hate crimes. exactly as the mayor should do.
what side of the fence you want?
Sure. But you need to find some first.
He did. He said this is stupid and no one wants this.
I’m saying this is one issue. It’s the largest current issue, but he needs to get with the whole program.
You need to actually explain your position and provide context because no one knows what you are talking about.
What’s he missing?
the fuck you talking about
on the fence? he has been attacking people who horde money through policy and rhetoric
he is clearly anti-elite
