To all the commenters here that are piling up on Mamdani without actually doing the minimum amount of research. Doesn’t it seem odd to you that he would advise Ossé not to run and try to convince others not to support him? Instead of reacting with your guts and defeatism, use your head. That’s what I did because it was tickling me.

In an online vote, roughly 52% of eligible members of NYC-DSA’s Electoral Working Group voted against endorsing Ossé’s congressional campaign. In total, 1,205 DSA members voted, with 626 voting against the endorsement and only 555 voting in favor, with 24 abstaining.

Clearly Ossé’s bid for Jeffreys sit is not that widely supported. Those are NYC-DSA members voting!

Mamdani argued that DSA should focus on achieving the affordability agenda that he and DSA had successfully campaigned on during the mayoral race, instead of focusing on launching a likely doomed primary campaign against the most powerful Democrat in the House.

OK, that makes sense to me.

But some within DSA questioned Ossé’s commitment to socialist organization – which he only recently joined – and were reluctant to back him when he seemed to have no realistic path to victory

I don’t follow NY politics closely so that’s an interesting bit of info.

The whole article is well worth reading rather than commenting on the headline of a newspaper that never quite liked Mamdani to start with.

What I get out of this, Jeffreys needs to go but Ossé is not quite the candidate to unseat him and the focus should be on delivering results for NY rather than running expensive doomed campaigns. That’s a far cry from the defeatism of seeing a treasonous Mamdani. It’s either simple thinking or an agenda to split support before he’s even in the Mayor sit.

Aaaaah you definitely can’t resolve any situation without sprinkling a little bit of violence, that’s how it should be

That was my first thought, those people will be back in the machine when the news dies down.

Uuid

Between Apple walled garden and the new dev signature thing from Google, those big players sure do like control over what we can do as users.

I agree with you, PWA is the way but Apple has been slow walking integration for years now (see https://brainhub.eu/library/pwa-on-ios)

I mean, the Wikipedia page does say it was sold in 2018. Not sure how it was before but it’s not surprising that it enshittified by now.

Or you’re using some kind of proxy/vpn from a server that has been identified as malicious and their subnet is banned in some list. Pretty common and more likely.

I think you mean anecdotes my friend

That’s why I’m posting this 🤷‍♂️

That’s not entirely true, France is battling with very similar issues to the US. A rising far right power, media that are using the fox news playbook, t additional media that is playing catch-up and following the Overton window set by the previous point, similar blue collar struggles, a president that is appealing to the right while claiming the center despite a majority of constituents clearly signaling left in the last elections, etc. France is not far behind unfortunately.

I’d point at his excellent interview with AOC not even a month ago: https://youtu.be/eeheoxWzf2o

Wasted time reading this thread, you write with the arrogance of the uninformed convinced it’s deep thinking.

She won’t

You’re not wrong but, thankfully, studying history and teaching the impact of things doesn’t require the things to physically be in the room.

I’d like for him to point at the western hemisphere on a globe.

In mainland China it’s called Douyin, exactly the same app, same company, not the same content of course. It’s separate because Beijing wants a tighter control on social media in mainland China.
