    “Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani… and you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that,” Cuomo said in a leaked recording.

    Liberals are in bed with MAGA. Just different kool-aid flavors.

        Libs and neolibs are the same thing in US politics.

        People who want to make the rich make concessions are leftists.

      What an absurd and reductive take, have you considered including a drop of nuance with your hyperbole?

        Liberals are not socialists. If people vote for a socialist that means they’re not voting for a liberal like Cuomo. Actually Mamdani is a “democratic socialist” and some socialists would distinguish that from socialism proper. But his policies are definitely working for the people, which is great to see. Liberals generally work for corporations before the people.

        If you search the web for “Mamdani socialist” you find various flavors of right-wingers and evangelicals in full panic about how he’ll end the world. If you look at his own website you find he proposes affordable buses, rent and childcare, and taxing corporations. Apocalyptic stuff.

          Honestly, the term liberal, socialist, neo-liberal, etc. are such loaded terms and change constantly. They also are defined on who is hating on me at that moment. I don’t have a term I call myself, but I like Bernie’s ideas 99% of the time.
