Mamdani for president

If only. That natural born citizen thing gets in the way unfortunately.

But this guy keeps proving that politics done right can actually help people. Who knew that was possible?

The thing to remember is Mamdani's success isn't just him being such a great guy. Sure he's nice and charismatic, but he wouldn't be possible without the massive grassroots organizing that got him elected. He couldn't be pumping out these policy wins without the support of a great cabinet of passionate people lending their expertise to make all this happen.

It might be hard to replicate Mamdani's raw charisma, but we can and must replicate that movement for any office we hope to achieve. It is harder to do this on a national level though, but we already almost did it with Bernie, and the movement's only grown since then.

Trump is constitutionally barred from running again and is definitely going to run in 2028. There are no rules anymore, everyone has been using the constitution as toilet paper for decades.

I hate how true this is.

Oh no, I'm not gonna keep caring about the law after the Right has stopped. We can elect him and then he can make an executive order allowing it, and nobody will stop him.
