It took me a while to realize that, but this man is incredible. I have another OP (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220822612) where I posted about the meeting. He completely tamed Trump and got him to admit that he and even Bernie Sanders have the right ideas...

(78,317 posts)an old trick -- make the felon believe he thought of your idea first. It isn't as simple as attempting to do this, for it takes talent to accomplish it as completely as Mamdani did. I used to use that to get psychotic people to go to the hospital: rather than me suggesting it, I got them to, then agreed with them. Think of how the hard-core maga are viewing the felon's kind and encouraging words about a socialist.
Now, of course, the felon is legendary for agreeing with the last person he spoke with. But it worked ...... including the FDR jab, which was icing on the cake.

(5,358 posts)They have been awful for our party. I have only watched cable news a few times since election night in 2024 so I dont know anything about Mamdani. Except that the party leaders were openly against him.
