Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, said on Thursday that he intended to apologize for comments he made in 2020 calling the New York Police Department “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.”
He said that the remarks, which he wrote in June 2020 in a social media post in support of the defund the police movement, were made after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis a month earlier.
The comments were made “at the height of frustration,” he said in an interview with The New York Times, and were not reflective of his current campaign or “my view of public safety and the fact that police will be critical partners in delivering public safety.”
he's running to the right and; if he has any staying power; he will become another aoc or bernie.
By AOC or Bernie, are you referring to two people that have done a thousand times more to shift the Overton window left than you and a dozen friends will ever achieve?
I just love all the ineffective edgy leftists constantly telling the only people making progress that they're doing it wrong.
This is funny because the Democrat party has been going to the right despite the non-existent efforts of these two to move it leftwards and indicative of reasons why the Democrats keep losing to the likes of Trump... Over and over again
If you don't even know the name of the party, I'm really not optimistic about your insights. The party at large has clearly shifted left, even if the old guard hasn't lost their grip yet. There is a long way to go, and this edgy bullshit is nothing but distraction from the real work.
all groups within the democrat caucus are captured by billionaires and this is such a foregone conclusion that it's become less edgy than pineapple on pizza.
