Gillen argued that Mamdani has promised voters “free everything” but has no “real economic plan to pay for it, other than raising taxes.”
That IS a plan to pay for it, and it's no doubt why people voted for him, because they want you rich ghouls to give something back for a change and slightly improve the conditions for poor people in the city that made you wealthy. They really are just threatening people with a good time.
Fuck these ungrateful bastards.
The working class regularly votes away their medicare and everyone wants to give it all to the rich. No one cares that the working class can’t afford it. The working class just takes it on the chin, no problem.
“HoW aRe YoU gOiNg To PaY fOr It!”
Oh, I won’t porky will. Time that digusting glutton learned to go without. The pig doesn’t need it.
Top Democratic Bribers are disgusting.
"Democrats" whining about the democratic process. How 'bout that.
When they haven't had a Democratic Primary apply Democracy since at least as far back as 2008?
The D in DPRK is also "Democratic". But when they have nothing but "Kims" leading ever, and for life? I have to question if that word is applied in the same way we understand it.
The DPRK is actually democratic though, did you mean to compare them to the comprador bourgeois dictatorship of “south Korea”?
Nah, I didn't understand quite who I was talking to, and chose a frame a Liberal would take the way you're taking it.
But when you're talking about Democracy within a single party? An American isn't going to understand the party as a structure to unify all, they're going to take it as the domination of one Camp over another. And that's something I need Communists to take from that same statement.
An American is not going to see anything they recognize as Democracy in the DPRK. Especially when three leaders in a row are named Kim, we're going to see a Monarchy.
Is that reality? I don't have the access to know. But I have read enough Kim Il Sung to realize how much of their theory really isn't that different from anything else leftist, just presented in a way that fit the moment for the Korean people.
Difference is the DPRK has elections for these things
Inside one party where, I don't see any outside body validating results.
Does anyone need to? Nah. Does the DPRK need anyone to validate their legitimacy? Nah, but it would be one hell of a flex on US "Democracy."
Stop trying to justify the genocide in korea to yourself. Its your fault. You genocided the koreans and are trying to cover it up. You are apparently butthurt that korea is still sovereign, even though you thought you genocided them all. Your genocide failed, the koreans are still free and their nukes will protect them from you, neoliberal ghoul.
They did the thing!
in the same way we understand it.
we
go fuck yourself, liberal
Okay gaslit redfash. 🖕
[fart noise]
If you wanna actually talk that out? Maybe teach me something you don't expect me to know?
I'm game. However, you might find I chose my words carefully when dealing with a US Liberal in a discussion on US politics. What, with shared Material Conditions.
If all you wanna do is hate on a comment you dislike? You're welcome to choose which corner of the US-imposed, globally-projected dumpster-fire you die in.
Either way? Death to the Empire and rehab for those trapped within.

What makes you think you're dealing with a US liberal in a discussion on US politics here, of all places?
Yea! What are we, a bunch of Asians?
I dislike this whataboutism, this shibboleth, that must be stated before critiquing the Democratic party.
it's disgusting how he's being treated by his own party, right?
The word "antisemitism" is starting to lose meaning. I hope it doesn't swing the other way where actual antisemitism gets tossed out with the bathwater, but we're hitting a point of absurdity with the argument that being pro-human rights for Palestinians or critical of Israel is evidence of antisemitism. It'll be interesting to see what happens between now and the election. The establishment is going to spend a lot of money trying to paint Mamdani as a radical jihadist. Whether it works or not, it's going to contribute to the erosion of the impact of baseless antisemitism accusations. He's going to be campaigning on transit and cost of living, and if the response to that is "he wants to kill all the Jews!!" then there's a good chance he's going to look like the more reasonable party.
Israeli government and the IDF are two of the most anti semitic organizations in the world currently.
This "swing" has already happened with Zionist attacks and erasure on Jewish people support of Palestine etc
