I feel like mayor is a better jump up for a candidate like Mamdani than President. Also, Mamdani is coming up with a lot more policies that can get implemented. In contrast, Obama ran on far less openly socialist policies outside of healthcare. When it got to healthcare, Obama was relatively hands off when the bill was being written.
As a German it will always amuse me to read about policies that Otto von Bismark enacted here as socialist.
Like general health care was given to weaken the power of worker unions.
Over here in the good ole US of A, “socialism” usually doesn’t refer to collective ownership of the means of production, or some other fancy book-learnin’ version.
Socialism is when the government takes some CEO and/or redneck’s hard earned tax dollar and tries to do something that helps poor people.
If the government wants to spend money on poor people, it has to be to blow them up on the other side of the world.
Back home there are way too many big hands to fill with handouts, between corporations and rich people. We can’t get to the poor beggars until some time after the fusion power rollout. And please think of the economy!
