I’m honestly taken aback at this point by the amount of backlash Mamdani’s been getting. I don’t even think it was this bad against Bernie. Aside from his stance on the genocide (which is honestly still quite moderate compared to what’s happening) what he’s been saying has been really quite milquetoast socdem reforms and probably half of America are acting like he’s going to do 9/11 2 on his first day in office. This is a sick sick country.
If anything this is similar to the level of racism he went through. I remember the “Barrack Hussein Obama” line being played over and over, people speculating that a skinhead would assassinate him, that he only did so well because black people voted for him just because he was black, and even white people being scared that him winning meant that every white person would be jailed for some reason.
I think Hillary wanted to run an ad where his skin changes color whenever he enters a room and she threw a tantrum after being told that wasn’t a good idea. Her campaign pushed plenty of racism on its own as well.

it was like this for AOC lol.
And look what happened to her! A couple years in office and she’s a pliant pawn of the Dems
look at my “center left” party
People were pretty messed up about Obama when he was running (and he had no other aspirations other than becoming king of the establishment ghouls)
