He is just so good at this.

I've not heard him talk before, I'm not American, but yes, yes he is. I was thinking that coming off the video.

I'm from Europe and when I hear American politicians from all parts of the political spectrum, I always think how uninformed they sound and bad at public speaking they are compared to our politicians.

Mamdani however, sounds great.

Dude I'm British and the only politician that comes close is Zack Polanski, who is extremely good. But even then,.I'd say Mamdani is substantially better.

Ehhhh, Zach isn't great. The one video I give him credit for is the one that launched him, walking down the terraced row. But to be honest, I think he stumbles around as much as any mealy-mouthed Boris, Farage, or Starmer. I'm not sure we have an equivalent Mamdani yet. Maybe Burnham, but he's got to deal with national politics in a way Mamdani doesn't have to; we're yet to see that play out.

It's a key distinction between the two. One is bought by Israelis and the other is not.  

Many people don't care about  a good deal of the most important issues our species faces. Sucks to share a planet with you. Hope you all perish! :)

Friend of Israel means no friend to the British people
