Found this graph online for anyone who might still be confused. I think this makes it much more clear.

Updated for the one I see fediverse lie often about, and the DNC’s new Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
— Actual Leftist.
this is fucking ridiculous. mamdani and abughazaleh to the right of obama? they’re not even to the right of warren. whoever made this is a child.
yar welcom to fix it.
I felt they are both around Obama, ’cause he actually implemented Affordable Healthcare Act in 2010. But blatantly he bailed the ruling class. Both mamdani and abughazaleh don’t want to do anything against the ruling class, so they praxis conservative policies: Childcare (state needs more babies), 🏳️🌈 rights (to extract more), public transit (blatantly for income flow), etc. I await to see what they’ll do irt policing. But their stances still maintain the rulers ruling.
the ACA is just an implementation of the mitt romney plan. it was republican made and it’s not a government option. the only reason the republicans don’t want it is because a black man put it out there.
Reread what you replied, and follow the political logic there. Where does that praxis lie again?
unfortunately i don’t follow yours. the reason i didn’t even address the rest of your comment is because i think it’s pointless, i just wanted to point out a fact because it annoyed me that you think childcare and free buses are conservative policies but the actual healthcare plan devised by conservatives is more left wing. you can make anything conservative if you’re enough of a cynical hermit:
universal healthcare? obv capitalists need their workers to be healthy do they can slave away more.
raise taxes on the 1%? clearly the government just wants more cash!
LGBTQ rights? you just want more people to serve in the military and partake in capitalism.
What leftist politics do you even know? Because the sources I am using are both ancient and contemporary.
Conservatism can be summarized in one quip:
Mamdani’s praxis serve the banks and landlords of New York. If private equity & Wall Street remain, his policies are rightwing.
Abughazaleh is further rightwing than Mamdani, because she wants a prosecution class to return to Obama era of politics. It remains to be seen what else she will do if she gets elected at all.
you think mamdani can just abolish the stock market?
He can order demolition crews to bulldoze the entire street, yes.
You think the stock market can function with their datacenters bulldozed?
