That's who Zoran Mamdani is.

And Barack Obama is hugging him and saying that he's just normal democratic.

He's not worried about the gap between the liberals and the left.

Why?

Because Zoran Mamdani, Barack Obama, they are the same.

They are the same.

Barack Obama is just more talented at hiding who he is and who he was.

Barack Obama and Mamdani, very, very similar characters.

Obama was like Mamdani, a person caught between two worlds.

He thought of himself simultaneously as from America and also from outside America.

If you read his original memoir, he's written about 20 of them at this point, but if you read his original memoir, Dreams from My Father, he talks about his identity conflict between being an American growing up in Hawaii and his father's

past in Kenya his African identity his his identity as a black man but also as a person raised by white parents white grandparents and what this amounts to in the end is a sort of third worldist philosophy he best summarizes this in dreams for my father here's what he wrote in dreams for my father I still think this is the most revealing paragraph that Barack Obama ever wrote quote

I know I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South side.

How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair.

I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder, alternating as it does between a dull complacency and when the disorder spills out of its prescribed confines, a steady unthinking application of force of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware is inadequate to the task.

OK, now I know that's a little fancy.

What he is saying there is just that every poor person on planet Earth in America and outside America,

lays at the foot of American capitalism and imperialism.

That is what he is saying.

That the desperation and disorder of the powerless should be laid at the feet of the powerful.
