I truly hope he doesn't turn out the way I think he will turn out. I know we have a lot of people on here who love Mamdani, and I'm not trying to pick a fight. But goddamn, he's not beating the allegations these days.

I notice you didn't engage with that point, the crux of that comment's argument, at all.

i disagree with the core premise of entryism. it doesnt matter to me if Mamdani is super principled as an individual politician or whatever (i actually do like him), he is still part of the democratic party and I don't think electing dems is a good strategy to build socialism.

Turning Mamdani into an ongoing struggle session isn't going to to do shit except make comrades who are working within the DSA resentful of you for your ultra sounding ass throwing out comments from the peanut gallery without visibly putting in work yourself.

and also, the DSA does have factions that want to break with the dems, its not like an established line in the org. second, you have no idea what kind of work i've put in, i dont think its a fair critique on an anonymous forum. if i say something that's counter to real experience, sure call me out, but i would say from experience that this constant obsession with electing "good dems" leads to nowhere.

Well then, we don't even disagree. I don't have a dog in this fight, I just see how continuing to cast aspersions on comrades who ARE committed to this intervention could be seen as grating given the lack of epistemic justification. I think we owe those comrades critical support in the mean time, not snide derision.
