Donald Trump has said that he will withhold funding for New York City if presumptive Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor after November’s general election and doesn’t do the “right thing.”

The problem with this, and so many other problems in America right now - is that they’ll only ever be fixed by Democrats swinging the other direction.
The majority of whom will only go as far as they believe their corporate sponsors will allow. Preventing real progress.
This is the mechanism and economic base structure of “democracy” in the west which prevents real progress and real change from happening to the structures and systems we have.
The result? An ever increasing risk of populist fascism, which may become increasingly systemic in its use of deadly force and violent repression (yes, things can go further unless the structure itself is forced in the other direction - in a revolutionary manner).
To clarify: Only leftwing revolution can fix and prevent this happening again. Hence why Biden and establishment “leftists” were unable to prevent the current era - because it requires a revolutionary movement much further left to do these adjustments to democracy, rights, and the state of western politics.
As a Dane I’m quite happy with the system and politicians we have here. What I see as the issue is when different untruthful and overly emotional media start getting a foothold, and the people don’t punish politicians for lying. It is literally “Idiocracy” in the making.
Who?
You can’t get enough people to vote for your cause, but you can get enough people to fight and die for it?
Even if your vanguard does win, what do you do with the people who don’t agree with your methods after the dust settles? What lengths will you go to I order to “protect” the revolution?
But… enough people just voted for Mamdani? That’s what the thread is about?
