Mehdi and Prem answer your questions about MAGA politicizing Kirk’s memorial, Jimmy Kimmel’s cancellation, and the US’s growing authoritarianism on ‘Ask the Editor,’ Zeteo’s newest weekly show.
I posted this at The Contrarian today - - relevant here too I think - Mehdi says the same thing about Mamdani I wrote here:
Charles Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries both need to be replaced as leaders of the Democrats in their respective legislative bodies. Both have failed abysmally in leading and organizing a united and strong opposition to Trump's authoritarian takeover.
What we get instead are endless 'strongly worded letters' and capitulation.
Both of these leaders (along with many, but not all, other Democrats, to be fair) voted for the lionizing and sanctifying of Charles Kirk last week, despite his history as a white supremacist, misogynist, divisive provocateur. This was just a more recent cowardly move by these two leaders.
It is amazing that both of these New York elected leaders had no problem voting for the hagiography of Kirk, while neither has yet endorsed the Democratic choice for New York mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
Awesome! I need to get some posters for my neighborhood in Queens....I think he will win too, but I am not counting the chickens yet.
The comment about Jeffries and Schumer is more about them than the need to help Mamdani. Jeffries himself said 'vote blue, no matter who', yet just can't bring himself to endorse NYC Democrat's clear choice...but he showed no hesitancy voting for this gross resolution praising Kirk like he is MLK.
And Schumer voted for the Senate resolution as well (although every Democrat in the Senate did, which is alarming really).
Great discussion! I think your suggestion that the Democratic Party create a shadow group that can respond quickly to the news is awesome! It would really boost the visibility of the Democratic party. At present, every day brings new, disturbing outrages from Trump and his party, while we hear nothing but silence from the Democrats!

Ya, Mamdani doesn't need those endorsements. He has so many volunteers, including yours truly, and people enthusiastic about voting for him.
And the best endorsement ever: Trump saying, "I think he's going to win."

TOTALLY FUCKING BRILLIANT - THANKS MEHDI

calm down boys - Kimmel is back
Right, censorship is over now~ all is well!
I suppose Karen Attiah, Matthew Dowd, and all those teachers and military service people fired for quoting Kirk will get their job back too.

Dont forget that Trump is first and foremost only ever a gangster,
Of the old snake oil salesman type. Thats how he was brought up.
By his father, also a real estate rogue. He doesnt know how to perform civily,
And as a gangster, has to have disrespect for the law. and that covers all laws.
Gangsters dont ever show respect for others, Its only me, me, me.
Gangsters lie , above everything else , they lie. Thats part of the game, He cant help it.
