I’d say WSJ is captured but it never really was un-captured.
It has gone total MAGA since Trump 1.0 though.
The sexiest percent favorability. Nice!
He accomplished more good in a few months than trump did in almost 6 years. I also haven’t heard him constantly blame the last guy for all his failings. +1 for this new mayor!!
WSJ has a bad case of MDS: Mamdani Derangement Syndrome
What do you mean it’s over?! We are just getting started
It’s not time enough for traditional measurements of a political “honeymoon”…
To clarify, “honeymoon” is NOT a measure of accomplishment; “honeymoon” is a period of possibly effective influence.
The “presidential honeymoon” is the first year of every presidential admin, representing the best time to push forward initiatives before the next 2 year congressional elections can push back…
It’s not an issue of power so much as assumption of such, this article is pretty much unnecessary.
saturation can certainly look that way
Honeymoon phase OVER!! Stable, long term relationship phase built on mutual respect has STARTED.
The best part of the relationship comes after the honeymoon phase ends, when the initial excitement and passion gives way to comfort, familiarity, and long-term stability.
But I don’t expect right-wingers to understand that. They’re kinda hedonic and self-centered, for all their talk of “family values”…
Beat me to it. No longer are they dreaming of what things will look like, they are seeing the results and the reality of what it looks like to have someone actually care about their well being. May we all be so lucky, honestly.
No way! There’s LOTS of… um… {insert preferred term for “strenuous activities” here} left to return to the ruling class. The fun(d)s just getting started! Endless Honeymoon!
WSJ is so desperate to be relevant again they are straight up printing obvious lies.
It is the Murdock way
WSJ editorial board are basically an anti-progress FUD campaign committee and always have been. They spent the entirety of Bill de Blasio’s (Second best NYC mayor in my life) double term desperately trying to tear him down, too. They’re also the origin of the term “bike lobby” or more specifically “The all-powerful bike lobby” in reference to an imaginary and shady organization supposedly responsible for getting share bikes and bike lanes onto the street. WSJ is a rag.
WSJ can suck my salty balls.
And since The Constitution says Trump can’t run again, it doesn’t matter that The Constitution says Mamdani can’t run either!
I would vote for Mamdani for president.
Non-american here, why wouldn’t Mamdani not be able to run for president?
Gotta be born American.
Like, there’s been debate about children of US military born overseas, even in a US military base which is for all intents legally American soil.
Edit:
And to clarify, Mamdani ain’t trying to change that
People just started saying it.
Not sure if i agree with that rule but if that’s what the majority of the people want; sure, why not.
When they made (it’s an amendment) it made sense to limit foreign influence.
We still have foreign influence, but imagine an America where a dictator is deposed so they get refugee status and seize power legally. That is why the amendment passed.
Especially in the early days, America was worried about what would become our bread and butter.
The truth about Mamdani is America is full of people eligible to be president who would do just as good of a job.
The risk outweighs the reward.
Mamdani could still be a senator, and serve as long as he’s elected.
Like, part of fixing our government, is taking a shit ton of power away from the president. We can’t really do that till we get a progressive Congress, but that’s the end goal, we don’t want consolidated power, because that makes it easily corrupted.
If we don’t limit Presidential power, we know Republicans and neoliberals never will.
While there are amendments that affect who can be president, the rule that you must be a natural born citizen is from the original text of the Constitution:
[Article II, Section 1, Clause 5]
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
It is naive to think the way the system works is because the majority want it to work this way.
States aren’t ruled by public opinion. Public opinion is ruled by states.
IIRC, can’t be a naturalized citizen.
Only USAian born citizen can be elected, Mamdani was born in Uganda. That’s why there was the whole conspiracy theory about Obama being born in Haiti
USAian
How odd for a Murdoch sewer rag to go after a progressive politician who’s running their town.
I thought the WSJ was a Bezos bootlicker rag? But same difference.
No that’s the WaPo. Murdoch subsumed the WSJ in . . . jebus 2007. I didn’t think it was that long ago.
Nah, that’s the Washington Post.
Ahhh thanks
Corporate media will be fearmongering over progressives all the way through 2028 election and beyond, so I guess get used to it. This is literally what they’re paid to do, and if you’re anti-Zionist, it goes double. Lies, FUD, hatchet jobs, anything to protect the billionaires who own those networks.
I’ve been used to that for decades upon decades.
