@Ripley if possible two questions or lets say your thoughts on two isues
-What you think about Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, seems that they are becaming important voices from right against Israel sure we are not talking about jews but Israel as a foreign government.... from outside it seems that regardless of their politcal orientation especially amoung young generations there is a reaction against power of Israel in American domestic politics.
-guess there is this perception that Mamdani is not receiving well deserved acknowledgment from upper echelon of democrats
I must admit, i don’t follow media influencers. Some, I’m only aware of, some vaguely have an idea about but the gist of it, I can’t say I care what they say.
Carlson’s shift surprised everyone (yes, I’m aware of this one) but from where he stands it’s not (technically) very much far from where he used to stand before. America first. and I‘ve seen at YouTube shorts that he also criticizes US financial back up of Israel which actually falls in with young progressive population.
My opinion is that the average Joe and Jane have witnessed for the first time their representatives hanging Israeli flags at their office doors at Capitol Hill in a country where citizens take the pledge of allegiance to the US flag when they were kids. Young population from both sides also have seen how the elected US politicians upholding Israel’s policies labeled as her security matters contrary to European politicians.
So, he actually might wanna hold on to his followers. I don’t know.
I haven’t realized such a crack within democrats regarding Mamdani but wouldn’t be surprised if there was. As the old work horses they are, The upper level Democrats may not not be as progressive and radicalized as the younger generation. NY City is home to real estate barons, Wall Street and the largest Jewish population in the world. They might get spooked by Mamdani’s radical tax proposals that might upset all parties involved. And perhaps a little bit of racism might be going on here as well.
