I Told You So: Zohran Mamdani’s Trump Meeting Is Everything Wrong With Progressive Politics
Let me start with something simple. I called this. Not in some vague, wishy-washy, “well anything could happen” kind of way. I called this specifically, and clearly, and the people who told me I was being too cynical, too harsh, too uncharitable toward a promising young progressive politician can now sit with what happened onContinue reading “I Told You So: Zohran Mamdani’s Trump Meeting Is Everything Wrong With Progressive Politics”
THIS IS MAMDANIâS MOMENT â AND HE CANâT FUCK IT UP
This post builds directly on what I wrote yesterday, because the situation has already escalated in a way that exposes something bigger than Trump alone. As of January 4th, 2026, Donald Trump didnât just launch an illegal and reckless attack on Venezuela. He doubled down by dragging NicolĂĄs Maduro into New York City to faceContinue reading “THIS IS MAMDANIâS MOMENT â AND HE CANâT FUCK IT UP”

After all, his policies do not align with traditional progressive ideals. He will push some Republican priorities, make budget cuts, potentially change or roll back laws, and advance policies that manyContinue reading “Voting Sliwa as the Most Progressive Choice: A Paradoxical Take”
