Right wingers dont repreaemt democracy. They are openly and actively trying to change it to authoritariam dictatorship.

Mamdani is NOT doing the same nor like Trump. For all the scaremongering, he is pragmatic politic with policies full of compromises.

There ia no symmetry between what those parties do.

So do left-wingers. Just go on to one of the anarchist bro groups and listen all about "capitalism is failing us" and "we need to enforce the will of the people".

Remember, democracy doesn't mean that "good" people win.

Just wait. He's well poised to fail upwards with his policies. They can't and won't work long term, but they'll create a lot of buzz by the time he aims for a higher office. But anyway, that's beside the point.

> There ia no symmetry between what those parties do.

The horseshoe theory works: the extremes are very much alike. And that's why Republicans were taken over by Tea Party radicals, and Democrats are now getting taken over by Mamdani radicals.

Both are the result of the same sentiment: "the current elites are not representing us, and we need to destroy the political system".
