Mamdani about to find out how fast we will throw him at the wayside when he sides with the establishment.

Because then we'll get someone better, right?

Someone better then.... Right?

That's unfortunately not how first past the post works.

You get one of two options. If you don't pick the mediocre one, you get the bad one. The system is rigged and hoping won't change that.

Who said anything about hoping? The system is actively collapsing in front of us

Nah, Obama got reelected after stabbing us all in the back. Mamdani will be fine, even after his conservative heel turn.
