*Our progressive agenda
The use of the word “his” connotes selfishness. A progressive agenda is quite the opposite. And it’s opposed to a conservative agenda which is entirely selfish.
Since he was voted in I would call it “the people’s” progressive agenda.
Did you mean do the things he was voted in for? Because you worded it really weirdly. Are you aware politicians advance an agenda and the people vote for who they want to advance policy?!
That is the headline of the article they posted friend.
armchair skepticism is the glitter and/or herpes of social media. I’m sure they walk the walk when it comes to scrutinizing their own choices in life.
Trump was voted in too bud.
But suddenly, you can’t blame the people for his actions, for uh… reasons.
So now you turn and start posting how bad Mamdani is like he’s Biden’s BFF?
I’m kind of disappointed that even he has to do the silly theatrics where everything needs to be symbolic and meaningful. He was sworn in at an old metro station (because public transport) on TWO Qurans “one belonging to his grandfather and the other from the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture”. Because just using his grandfather’s book wasn’t symbolic enough, they had to add one culturally significant as well. Later he will be sworn in AGAIN, this time with AOC and Bernie Sanders present. I guess they couldn’t pack enough symbolism in one ceremony so they will have two. Let’s see what Qurans and how many will he use the second time.
Why not just go to the town hall and swear on a book they have there and be done with it? It all has to cost shitload of money to organize, money that could be spend on something useful. It really looks more like a religion then public service.
Veep made fun of it all the time, like when Selina was buying a Christmas gift and had to buy “a book of poetry by one of my favorite African-American poets and a graphic novel with a very strong female Asian protagonist.”. Yeah, we get it.
This obviously doesn’t say anything about his politics. I just find the constant pushing of narratives pathetic.
ok
Politics is indeed pathetic. But it’s also the least important aspect of an elected politician.
This is not even politics. Politicians in other countries don’t do this. It has nothing to do with policy or administration. It’s empty virtue signaling politicians in US do for some reason. It’s just disappointing to see Zohran is not above it.
