Dems are already backing Mamdani, he already won the primary and he is himself a part of the party. Even though Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo, who served as HUD Secretary under Clinton, he had this to say about Mamdani's victory:

"Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future"

~Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States of America

RNC promotes greens through the Badger Values PAC, the European Greens parties asked the US Greens to step down in the last election because if Harris lost then Republicans win. Can you guess how many Greens are in the US congress today? ZERO. Can you guess which party Mamdani is in? DNC.

Because they can't win if they keep it.

Sure, Piss Off 9 Million People surrounding the DC area, sounds like a great idea lmfao.

So this is Admiral Ackbar, whose line is ITS A TRAP!

He looks kind of like the pursehead.

Then there is "Trap" a colloquial term for a male who is disguised as a woman such that other males can't tell them apart.

It would be funny if Ackbar said "ITS A TRAP" in reference to the Pursehead character who would then snap back about no longer having any male genitalia, such as a post-op transgender.

This humour is highly subjective and you may not find it funny even after the explanation, but I see the head shape and faux fur coat and immediately imagine a confident, sassy, deep voiced woman who mocks Ackbar's interpretation of her gender.

Why is Polution per GDP a better measure? I don't care how much they export when they're killing the planet at a faster rate every year with no intentions to stop it. I will praise China and the rest of the world when they reimplement and follow through with plans to ethically lower the world population, such as investment in education especially for women and incentives or fines based on numbers of children.

I guess modern art isn't so bad after all.

No, correlation doesn't equal causation, but causation certainly is causation, so maybe those violent dictatorships aren't better than the third one they're attempting to create.

"It's a trap!"

"Oh honey, that might have been true once."

They're also actually still building more coal power in mainland China.

They also expanded coal power, roads, and removed their population limiting policies, though. They produce about 3 times as much CO2 per person as India, Indonesia, and many South American nations, likely many nations in Africa as well but theres a lot of missing data.

You could make the argument that Russian interference helped give us Trump in 2016 and that Chinese Military run TikTok's promotion helped him in 2024, so yes those two actually did do that pretty recently, yeah.

Is the joke that it's a trap and theres banana in there?

Boomers were responsible for Reagan and Citizens United, you could maybe blame Gen X for Bush and Trump but definitely can't blame Millennials on that.

In fact, Millennials were even more progressive aligned than Gen Z in the last election, with a -16 point shift between Biden and Harris. A lot of outlets are reporting a large Gen Z specific move to the right as they added 8 Million more voters to the pool in 2024, although take that claim with a grain of salt because the only data I could find on it was the 18-44 age group.

IDK, might be laying the groundwork for future kinetic cookers.

The daylight hours per season is actually primarily effected by your distance from the equator, so a lot of places in "summer" won't see much difference.

Xi became president for life almost a decade ago, Putin ignored term limits in like 2008. Musk is failing to do what they have done, and he doesn't even express any real power over the president given he hid his role from the courts and left the white house with a black eye.

I don't think that has ever been true, really. Nor should it be, Laissez Faire is a trainwreck waiting to happen, probably literally and figuratively.

Textbooks will tell you that the USA, and other countries like China and Russia, are a regulated "Market System" which in some markets teeters on strict Oligopoly.

Patents are available to all. It protects the individual as well as the corporation.

They also created the famine by decentralizing agriculture and planning, but at least that sort of people learned their lesson from it and didn't repeat the exact same blunder in China years later, right?
