Donald Trump has offered Eric Adams a job in his administration, apparently to convince him to drop out of New York’s mayoral race. It’s now official and out in the open: Andrew Cuomo is allying with Trump to beat Zohran Mamdani.

    Liberal politicians*

    The Democratic party in NYC voted overwhelmingly for Mamdani against liberal opposition.

      I agree with you for the most part and I genuinely give the general populace of the US immense credit for evolving and remembering the lessons we needed to learn from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, especially younger people in the US. Not that we deserve any praise for it, “credit” is the wrong word, I guess I only point this out to underline how it wasn’t necessarily a foregone conclusion the US public would in this late moment of empire reach a state of self-awareness about the actual systematic issues at play undermining this country.

      You are right that the liberalism I am attacking is more prevalent in the ruling class and politicians than the general populace these days, but that was not always the case, on the contrary this is a recent development.

      I am having a conversation about the way liberalism took the oxygen out of the room from other ideologies that might have given all the people dying and about to die a better chance at making it through and living a decent life.
