You say “half convinced” here, along with quite a specific interest.
And then you make another assertation here without the provisos, though not it’s not quite so extreme as the first.
I’ll allow myself to be convinced, and you aren’t wrong that Mamdani got treated poorly, but when the writing was on the wall, I didn’t see any evidence that they supported his opponent after the primary, though sure the enthusiasm was extremely underwhelming.
So, TL:DR - Cites? Feel free to take the Mamdani discussion to the NYC Mayor’s election thread though if you feel it should be discussed outside the context of Platner’s treatment so we don’t hijack this thread.
