imma be real, i can imagine mamdani appearing to go full tilt dem to betray every dem once elected, and appointing dsa comrades everywhere, it’s perfectly imaginable tactic, it just has not been observed once in modern history. As the truth is in correspondence between idea and the world, until observed (say by who he appoints as nypd commisioner or how investments in entity will be regarded) material reality matches with our ideas of who he is, all of this is precisely gossip, and can fall into what you are describing.
On the other hand, all we have for now is slight evidence of moderating rhetoric and accepting bad faith frameworks in one interview, (and listening to bernie panders, which might be a good idea anyway, even if you think he is a demon).
(i would say, aocia was very evidently political climber in 2019, it’s not an unexpected thing for politician to be, i hope he is different)
*adam point is that all the acceptable™ media is pressing him to betray justice, not that he already done it
it’s just have not been observed once in modern history
I feel like Trump kind of hid his power levels a bit this election season. He wasn’t really talking all that much about mass deportations or completely gutting the government, definitely leaning more heavily on his ultimately run of the mill 1st term.
Obviously, good things happen only for the worst of us but maybe there’s a microscopic silver lining here
Rightists hide their power level sometimes, in the sense that they pivot right. Centrists also hide their power level sometimes, in the sense that they pivot right. Radlibs also hide their power level sometimes, in the sense that they pivot right.
Pivoting happens often, it just isn’t pivoting left that happens often.
he didn’t though, people just waved him off as they saw his first go at it, but his sickos did a bit of theory on levers of power (and surprisingly, senate republicans got very much in line, while dems are doing abundance dances or whatever the fuck).
