Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Other data of note:
Mamdani continues to go beastmode with young people, putting up regime numbers with a 73% vote share of the under 29 demographic, and a still commanding 62% of voters between the ages of 30 and 44
Amongst all candidates, a plurality of voters believe Mamdani has best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict
ts so so exciting, i cant shake the feeling that amerikkka is shifting towards leftism way faster than i could have hoped for
it's easy to doomer and there's plenty to be pessimistic about but it's hard to overstate how crazy polling like this is just on its face if you can remember what it was like in the us back when history had ended, arguing with a baker's dozen members and associates (two of whom were probably cops of slightly differing jurisdiction) of some 'revolutionary' book club on a thursday night in a laundromat basement
In a weird way I’m almost more encouraged by the 26% of polled voters saying having a socialist mayor is a neutral/neither good nor bad outcome. It shows the potential for people getting on board with socialist policies even they don’t actively identify with it.
yeah that's a big part of it for me, the anti socialist response drilled into people from birth here creates a pavlovian response to the word and the way that’s losing some strength anywhere is just nice to see
