The New York Times Calls Zohran Mamdani "Politically Risky"

The above is a quote from a New York Times article, about the rise of Zohran Mamdani in Democrat party politics.

It is worth noticing that The New York Times doesn't just observe our politics when they publish these words - they're not just reading the political landscape, passively. The NYT is Dictating and intentionally Creating the National political culture with these claims; setting a framework for what is normal in American politics, vs what is "politically risky".

For instance, how can any serious contender for New York Mayor make the ERROR of joining the legal team for war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu, during his Genocide and messianic wars of aggression? How can anyone attempt to defend the murderous and deeply immoral actions of the Israeli government at this time, and also make a run for public office? Ridiculous!

We're talking about nearly two years of atrocities committed by the Israel government, mostly suffered by innocent children. These include indiscriminate residential bombing, destruction of medical infrastructure, ethnic cleansing, normalized rape and torture, and now the poisoning and fatal booby trapping of life-saving aid.  

Nowhere in the New York Times article does the author point to the ABSURD political risk taken by Andrew Cuomo. The glaring omission and narrative choice from the writer serves to warp the readers' understanding of what is sane, humane, normal and politically tenable behavior.

Cuomo's decision to offer legal support to Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly politically risky & foolish.  It is one of the reasons why he was rejected by voters in New York, and further, in the long arc of history, Cuomo will appear backward, ridiculous, and shameful.

Many more American politicians - of either corporate parties - are learning that their egregious moral decay, and failure to Lead from humane Truth is very unpopular, unattractive and politically suicidal.
