In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

I just headed over to .ml and did a local search for “mamdani”
I see a bunch of the more conservatives Democrats and their supporters complaining about him and conservatives of all stripes are really hoping he’ll fail.
I’ve been called a tankie several times and I rather like Mamdani. I see him, AOC, and Sanders as the best hope for the future of the US.
Where are these tankies that hate Mamdani so much? What do they hate him for?
Oooh, I’d love to see what stupid shit they are complaining about.
“Oh no! We are going to have healthcare again! Stop him!”
I have seen a few, here is one I saved from some time back.

A lot of things get removed from
.mlso its hard to go back find things sometimes. If you are around lemmy a while you will find quite a few takes from tankies.Idk the post calls him infiltrator but there is -54 likes. Even .ml likes mamdani.
So I had a look at the voting score and only 5 of those down votes came from .ml, most are from .world accounts.
Hard to say, I have seen a few that outright don’t like him. But more of a he isn’t as far to our liking overall.
What’s a “tankie”?
Authoritarian-Communist.
Named after the leftists who supported the Soviets brutality in Hungarian Revolution of 1956, when they sent into tanks to kill the student democratic uprising. Used by non-auth leftists for decades, past few years some centrists and rightists have started using it for anything left that they don’t like as calling everyone communists wasn’t working any more.
The irony of the use in respect to Ukraine is that they’re calling anyone not wanting to send tanks a tankie.
That’s not ironic, because they’re not calling for the tanks to crush innocent people but to stop imperialist invaders.
As long as someone else gets drafted to die in the trenches, right?
You’re either disingenuous or beyond naive about ethnic and nationalistic conflict.
Yeah I’m not searching that term either
something something he kept a “genocide supporter” on his cabinet
note, the biggest compliant about him from the other side is that he has too many pro-palestinians in his cabinet
