This isn’t a random youtuber and his video isn’t clickbait. You not understanding why people are talking about him posting this video is not the same as these discussions being pointless or spam.

No, I’m not saying one is good. My whole point is that the gap between them is also large.
People are out here calling him a nazi and that’s just crazy. It’s an example of how the left is not immune to propaganda, misinformation, poor critical thinking skills.
Oh no, 4 different posts that were posted on 4 different communities on 4 different instancess, all of which are about the topic he’s talking about in the video… The horror
The only people who have called this guy a nazi are terminally online far left jackoffs who get all their information from other jackoffs in the same echo chambers.
He’s one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he’s a nobody shows that you’re simply ignorant.
That would literally be the best this to happen to this god forsaken platform. There isn’t nearly enough users, diversity of content, or sheer volume to make this place a genuine alternative to Reddit. Getting an influx from a huge youtuber like him means this place might finally get active communities for mainstream hobbies like sports, music, and videogames.
Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You’re probably the type of person who thinks they’re well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.
There’s no redemption arc because he literally never did anything wrong. His content was always family friendly
He literally never did anything evil or bad. This is a myth that was entirely created by the far left, who falsely call everything fascist, despite never watching his content.
He was never right wing in the first place
What part of this is propaganda? Russia is pretty open about their plans of kidnapping children
What kind of question is that? It should be extremely obvious that I think he should’ve ignored or rejected the DSA’s endorsement. Endorsements go both ways. By openly accepting their endorsement, he’s basically saying that he’s proud of them and what they do. Do you not find this at all concerning considering what the DSA has done and stood for in recent years? Do you think it’s not at least worth criticizing him over this? Just because he’s better than Cuomo for not being a sex pest and better than Adams for not being blatantly corrupt and accepting bribes, that doesn’t mean he’s now absolved from receiving criticism. Saying “but there’s worse” doesn’t in any way justify, excuse, or negate this endorsement. If accepting an endorsement by a billionaire funded right wing group or a foreign funded lobbyist group is problematic, then this should be as well.
There, I’ve addressed your point, can you finally address mine?
…and there it is. I was spot on about you word for word. Alright, go troll elsewhere.
It’s really simple actually. There’s two intellectually honest paths you could take here:
Mamdani accepting the DSA’s endorsement is a bad move and a red flag that we should criticize and keep an eye on because the DSA is a shitty organization that has done shitty things.
Mamdani accepting the DSA’s endorsement is a good thing because I support the DSA and the shitty things they do
Aren’t you tired of dancing around like a clown by running in circles with one desperate disingenuous fallacy after another? You’re not making yourself look smart, all you’re doing is demonstrating that you’re aware that DSA is shit and support them despite of that, but you’re too ashamed to admit it so you keep trying to mask your support with whatever this is. You can concede that I made a good point or own your support for the DSA so we can shift the conversation to how shitty they are. If you can’t do this, then you’re not worth another reply.
Why dream about being a genocidal pos when you’re already there? You should see what the current regime has done to the Kurds and Baha’is in the 80s and what they’ve been doing to the Balochis over the past decade or so.
I literally don’t care how many of you mouth breathers downvote or repeat the same bullshit assertions. It’s not going to change anything. Not a single one of you has been able to address a single point or address a single argument or even point out a single flaw. You didn’t and I know you never will either.
This, right here, is the best you could ever do. I literally asked you to provide a case like 3 times now, and you’re simply not able to. That’s all there is to it. It’s clear you’re full of shit, you’re aware of can’t prove me wrong, but you’re dishonest to admit you’re wrong so you resort to whatever this is. You’re done here, I’ll only reply if you have something of substance to say, which I know you won’t.
“no u”
This was exactly the level of intelligence I was expecting
You’re dodging the point. This isn’t about cosmic metaphors or Cuomo. It’s about Mamdani claiming anti-establishment credibility while embracing an endorsement from a group with serious baggage. That contradiction doesn’t disappear just because the alternative was worse.
If the only way to defend a candidate is by pointing to who came in second, maybe the candidate didn’t earn the trust they’re asking for. Keep in mind, I actually like a good chunk of Mamdani’s platform and he’s clearly better Cuomo, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a red flag. He could’ve simply reject or just ignored the DSA’s endorsement, but he instead proudly accepted and put it on his website. Critiquing a flawed move isn’t “complaining”, it’s accountability.
It’s crazy that instead of acknowledging that this is a bad thing, you’re willing to go through all these mental gymnastics in hopes of sweeping it under the rug. Where’s your moral integrity?
We have a politician who is in position to be elected to a very powerful office, and this individual has accepted and endorsement from a group that’s known for being extremist, pro violence, and pro tyranny. That is a big red flag because it means he agrees with their views and actions enough to proudly accept and display their endorsement. I hope that I don’t need to explain why that would set a dangerous precedent.
As citizens of a democratic country, it is our civic duty to criticize him for things like this. The public should apply enough pressure on him to where he comes out and publicly distances himself from this organization, or at the very least have him explicitly condemn their extremist actions. That way he’ll be on public record that he has disavowed their extremist methods and views, and that’s a standard that he can and will be held to during his entire time in office. That way he can face consequences should he go back on his words and start employing tactics from this group.
Trying to make excuses for him because he’s a progressive is incredibly stupid. Nobody should ever have double standards for politicians. They should all face the same criticisms for same questionable actions. All politicians who openly accept endorsement from unethical organizations should face the same criticisms whether it’s Cuomo, Adams, or Mamdani. It should be clear at this point that I’m not criticizing him for the sake of it, but because I have an actual point and an actual concern. How you don’t see this as something concerning is beyond me.
It’s not about optics, that’s such a mind numbingly shallow point of view. Even if a politician’s platform doesn’t explicitly reflect an extremist group’s views, openly accepting their endorsement is still concerning. It legitimizes harmful ideologies, signals poor judgment, and undermines the candidate’s credibility, especially if they claim to stand for integrity or justice, which Mamdani does. Endorsements carry weight that goes beyond optics, and failing to distance from extremist groups erodes public trust and inadvertently amplify dangerous narratives, which is already a big problem in this country. Ultimately, it raises questions about his values and character, which is why a clarification is necessary.
My comments express my opinions, and if they are able to raise awareness about this then that’s a plus. At least I have a point in my comments, what is the point of your comments? To me, it looks like you’re just big mad that I’m criticizing this guy for doing something questionable and you want that to stop.
What in the fuck are you even talking about? The Republican part has zero cohesion. They have no platform, no ideology, no structure, no values, no leadership, nothing. The whole party starts and stops with Trump and his senile opinions that can change from one extreme end to other at the drop of a hat. The Republican party died when Trump started purging all the ideological diversity that existed within the party during his first term. Right now the party only consists of MAGA cultist worshipers and slimy opportunists who lack a spine.
The left should definitely NOT model itself to be more like the right. One of the hallmarks of a successful democracy is having these internal debates and having the ability to criticize politicians freely and openly about anything they do that’s deemed inappropriate. The progressives who think they should become blue MAGA are just as dumb as MAGA. This isn’t self sabotage, this is an opportunity for us to hold our politicians accountable so they could serve us better in the ways that we want them to.
Hold on, if you don’t even understand what I’m talking about, then why the fuck are you arguing and defending something you don’t even know?
It’s easy to say this because you know I’m just a normal person, but imagine for a second that you got an endorsement from someone who isn’t normal. Say for example, an islamist group like Al Qaeda endorsed you, would you still accept their endorsement? How about if a branch of the KKK endorsed you? Maybe, the church of Scientology? You probably wouldn’t, but why? It’s because basic morals and ethics wouldn’t allow you to, or at least they shouldn’t. I don’t care how many votes or money their endorsements brings, their views and past doings are more than enough for me to reject their support.
That’s one issue, but it’s not the only one.
