The Mamdani-Trump Pact and the bankrupt politics of the upper middle class pseudo-left

This article is funny as hell man. Comparing Zohran meeting Trump to fucking Stalin wheeling and dealing with Hitler is about where I decided the hysterics were a bit too much for me. They make some valid, if emotionally charged, points but largely I think we are getting a little insane talking about a fucking mayor who wants to do some modest reform in NYC. Zohran is significant but he's one dude with comparatively little power compared to the others we're apparently putting him next to.

Edit: For the record there have been some historians who claim the time bought with that deal with the Nazis was the time that was necessary for the USSR to bolster it's military to ultimately be able to squelch the Nazi threat. I'll let you decide if you think a little temporary uncomfyness was worth the end result.

This article is kinda flawed as it runs with the assumption trump has a well thought out and concrete political ideology he follows.

Trump is a narcissist who literally just cares about his own power, his own wealth and ensuring he stays out of prison.

In a 1 on 1 meeting, he never stands any chance against a charismatic politician. We see it over and over again.

Given that, 75% of this article seems to be the author upset Mamdani is using the same trick to help get trump off his back.
