He’s not just left of center-right, he’s literally a “democratic socialist” which is far, far left. His tenant advocate literally has called for seizing of private property.

These damn leftists want people to be able live and prosper, I can't take it.

For an US perspective, yes. From an European perspective... him and Bernie are center-left, if not centrist. The Overton window is positioned much more towards the authoritarian right in the US than it is here - although the huge amounts of American and Russian funding towards far-right parties have been shifting the window here as well for about a decade.

This, America has shifted to the extreme right by a lot and Mamdani policies which are more centrist are seen as extreme here

[osakasake]

Mamdani is an American politician. Why would comparing him to European standards make sense?

Wait until you hear about what the GOP has allowed energy companies to do with eminent domain... and the expansion plans they have recently called for.

Please don’t classify me as some sort of GOP supporter just because I am clarifying the parent post as to Mamdani’s self-admitted political classification.

Most of the left is very centrist (Biden, Buttigieg, Newsom, Kamala, etc.)
