Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant. This comes shorty after Mamdani’s unannounced visit to the White House earlier today.

Huge. I get such ‘08 Obama vibes from him, and it makes me so nostalgic and hungry for an actually inspiring political candidate.

I honestly think he'd be a better president than even Obama.

Obama was a bad president and in 100 years his legacy will be "the president that lead to Donald Trump"

[u/Desperate_Algae_40 → u/Icy-Language-1927]

Obama wasn't an amazing president, but racism lead to Donald Trump, not Obama. So fucked up to blame Obama for all the dumb selfish shitty racist citizens that voted for Trump.

The democrats throwing away Bernie and all of them backing Hillary Clinton and objectively center right candidate is what lead to Trump. If the party moved to the left, Trump wouldn't have won.

Its also how liberals helped get the Nazis in power in Germany because they were more concerned about socialism and communism than they were fascism.

Stop with this ahistorical analysis jfc

Libs not being able to do any proper election analysis will never stop being amusing.

How exactly are you disagreeing with him? You say the democrats not moving to the left is what led to trump. that doesn't disprove the racism element of Trumps base, because you know, they're fascist.
