Is Mamdani moderating?

Anonymous
He endorsed Gov Hochul and didn't back the DSA candidate. He's also distancing himself from his anti-Israel past. So maybe he isn't the Lenin on the Hudson his detractors make him out to be?

He could say anything he liked before becoming mayor but now he needs to be practical and realistic.

Trump was a pro life democrat but he saw his chances with the republicans was much better so he changed.

He’s a mayor not involved in the federal budget.

I found his speech about Islam and the Quran disturbing. He’s a mayor, he should be talking about snow and trash removal, not waxing poetic about the beauty of Islam.

Were you equally disturbed by Trump's speech about Christianity at the National Prayer Breakfast?

when was he giving that speech??

also was he talking about how removing trash/ helping ppl is rooted in his faith principles b/c that is pretty normal for a politician-- they all talk about how their methidst faith is rooted n blah bah or how doing volunteer work wit their church instilled ball blah. Its to make them seem moral and ethical people instead of the trash bags they are b/c the fact is all politicians (ALL from GW through FDR to now all are trash humans). and have no ethics or principles. im desi and Mamdani stuff crop up on my insta a lot but I've not seen anything like this. can you send a link??

We could ask the people of Iran how well it worked out for them when Muslims became their political leaders.

He must act like a mainstream politician and moderate his stances - he represents all of NYC.

He always has been the mainstream candidate in that he is trying to work to improve the lives of the majority of residents of NYC. Just because billionaires want to label him an extremist doesn’t mean that Americans have to agree with their masters like doggies barking on command.

The machine has him now. He needs to bend the knee to bureaucracy.

Oh really? His "Tenant Advisor", Cea Weaver, said before a crowd of people (and it's on video), "Elect more communists".

He is not a mainstream candidate.

And?

Is that more extreme than electing insane MAGAs?

Hint: it’s not.

Might need some progressive voices to drag the country back towards the center a little bit from where the far right extremists have put us. The people spoke.

Yes, that's much more extreme.

Progressive Voice? You mean Communist Voice.

Whataboutism.

We are discussing Mamdani as compared to mainstream Democrats. He ran against a weak field and won. In the end it doesn’t matter. He either responds to the people of NYC or he’s out at the next election. He’s not off to a good start.

Everyone who actually gets voted into office moderates, if they're thoughtful and care about their job.

Of course, Trump doesn't moderate because he's locked in the prison of his own small, dementia addled mind. Nothing is coming in and nothing is getting out.
