Pseudo-science promoter appointed by Trump. Failed Republican candidate.

So politics, not religion. And here in Europe, or Ireland specifically, Mamdani doesn't even look leftish. Just normal.

@raymaccarthy @georgetakei Yeah, in Europe he would be a run of the mill social democrat in some labour party (except the "pink tories" the UK has now).

Blair killed the UK Labour Party. They are nearly as Conservative as Thatcher's era. Reform is the Mosley Party reborn.
Democrats are centre-right to right.
Republicans are right to far-right.
But Political Compass is better than Left - Right and it needs a 3rd axis now
L-R
Authoritarian-Democratic
Now needs Supports Corporate vs individual on Z-Axis.

Libertarian now means "Right Wing Corporation Freedoms". Nothing to do with Liberal or Freedom or Democracy.
