Mamdani's generational, transformative talent as a politician (having nothing to do with the merits or demerits of his policies) is that unlike 90% of politicians he is able to act like a normal person.

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

I live in Jupiter, Florida and have since retiring from the car dealership I owned in Toms River, NJ back in 2007. I play 162 holes of golf per week and the top issue in my life is this terrible Mandami pied-a-terre tax in New York City. What about all the money those people spend at restaurants?

Trump is every reactionary psychopathology laid bare. I once thought, back in the mists of 2015, that people would see this--see the reactionary psyche for what it is--& be repulsed. But lots of people see it & experience it as validation, as authenticity or honesty. "I share that psychopathology!"

this is why keeping corruption out of government is not some sideshow, it’s fundamental to effective governance if you cannot trust the people in charge of public health because “they changed their story due to bribes” is a legitimate inference, that is a crisis all on its own

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Trump is incapable of diplomacy or strategy, he simply rotates between positions that reflect his twisted psyche. “They’re terrified of me, we’ll kill them all” “Best deal ever, they’re begging to work with me, they love me” “Everyone is unfair to me”

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.
A post from @matzollerseitz.bsky.social reads:

“So what I'm getting from this is, incrementalism is bullshit and we should just do the stuff that we say would be good for society”

And the post is quoting a post from @owillis.bsky.social that reads:

“They call him WIN-dani 

Mamdani delivers promised rent freeze on 1 million rent-stabilized apartments https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/25/mamdani-delivers-promised-rent-freeze-00977449”

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

No real forward progress is possible as long as Trump is president, because he has no brain and is incapable of thinking, and always rotates back to his three instinctive postures of “threaten, beg, sulk” regardless of circumstance or history.
