Give Them An Argument
Zohran is Right and the Online Left is Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani's critics on the Left think he's a sell-out for not backing a primary challenge against Hakeem Jeffries or firing Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Some of them are about ready to denounce him as a fascist collaborator for sitting down with Donald Trump. Do any of these arguments add up?
