In an interview on Theo Vonās podcast This Past Weekend, Mamdani warned that if the American Dream is just an ideal thatās out of within reach, then people may start to give up.
The democratic socialist compared it to legendary NYC Mayor Fiorello La Guardiaās observation during the rise of fascism in Europe, saying people turned away from democracy not because they were tired of liberty, but because they were tired of being hungry.
āSo if democracy doesnāt mean the better life that it has to, itāll lose its worth. And the same thing with the American Dream: if itās something you can only see when you turn on your TV or you hear about that one guy you grew up with who made it, that doesnāt mean enough,ā Mamdani said.
Even worse is that having a fair living wage and decent social services is seen as the big meany communism
But those government hijacked American Dreamā¢ capitalism dollars are being spent on bombing brown children and ruining everything that isnāt directly benefiting billionaires. Isnāt that what you wanted, clearly they wouldnāt be in power if thatās not what the people wanted
