Shirley Wong isn’t much of a critical thinker, it seems.
She seems pretty critical of immigrants, does that count?
For her, it's just who ever most recently said a thing she liked vs who who ever is in charge and can be blamed for all the things she doesn't like. She's probably never met a government official she couldn't blame for a cloud blocking her sunlight, and never met a politician that lies if the things they're saying sound nice.
PS. That's not aimed at Mamdani, just Shirley Wong and those who behave like her.
More likely she grew up in an environment where this type of thinking was normalized, and to think otherwise was met with social consequences. Outside of a few breakout individuals, most have to be taught early not to take what they're told for granted.
Wong. An immigrant, or at least the descendant of. They’re so quick to pull up the ladder.
Aren't most US Americans immigrants if you just go back in time long enough?
Hell, even Native Americans must've immigrated somewhen.
It's all about 'I got mine, fuck you!' attitude.
Colonization and immigration are meaningfully different though
Yea. All of us except the Natives, and even then if you want to be even more pedantic they migrated here too.
Of course! Do you know who was also an immigrant? Mary Anne MacLeod who was married to, and had children with, Fred Trump who was himself a first-generation American.

This is the most hilarious comment in the thread. I appreciate a good pun!
In her defense, she’s been Wong most of her life.
white people resist making puns off Chinese last names challenge (impossible)
Shirley it's impossible
Internet guy not assuming all people on the internet are white challenge (impossible (you will lose))
To be fair there are people out there named Dung. How the hell are we supposed to just overlook that!?
Meanwhile, Vietnamese people are like "I Nguyen".
So that’s bad but calling someone a Karen is ok?
I hate how it can take literally having your choices fuck you over to get some people to change.
I despise how more people have their choices fuck them over and then double, triple, and quad down on them.
I think what's really sad about Trumpism and similar surges of right wing support in other countries is that I get where it's coming from — many of these people were already thoroughly fucked over by things they had no choice over. And then they're so desperate for change that they vote for things that fuck them over even harder. We need more politicians like Mamdani
Edit: typo
"yes, i voted to suffer, but you must understand, it made people i hate suffer too"
A lot of people will just support the populist in the race regardless of their ideology or whether their proposed policies make any sense.
his support for education and affordable housing.
WTF? When has Trump ever said anything even close to that?
Edit: I can't read.
This is good.
Odds are she 8s the kind of person who has spent most of her life voting for Democrats to save her from Republicans and Republicans to save her from Democrats when they're two sides of the same coin.
The sooner people learn to break out of that, the better things will be.
Oh look, it's yet another one of those socialist <-> Trump "anything but the status quo" crossover voters that neoliberal Democrats deny exist. Tell me again about how Bernie couldn't have won and it was essential to laser-focus on the "moderates."
Mamdani showed us what works. If the Democrats don't listen it's their fault if they lose
Just replace your "if"s with "when"s and you've got a solid prediction of the future
But we’ll all pay the price, just like we are now.
