Oh I forgot no man has ever voted for a politician based on personality, that’s a lady problem. All those Trump men did it based on a careful consideration of policy. 🙄

I didn’t say that either.

But seeing as 2/3 candidates ran a respectful, dignified campaign, I think it’s fair to say personality does come into it.

But you’re clearly not here to have a reasoned debate so take your misogynistic approach and fuck off.

In that case it is not a gender issue you have... Voting demographics show they both had a larger male voting base.It sounds like a critical thinking issue.

I realise I'm getting old, but 34?! One extreme or the other for the Americans!

@LeggyGiraffe you mean like people voting for Trump and Farage even when it is contra to their own best interests. Sucked in by populist quicksilver smiles.

Bet Sadiq Khan will be breathing a sigh of relief. Presumably all the US rightwing commentators who inexplicably have it in for the mayor of a city in a different country thousands of miles away will give him a break and turn on Mamdani instead.

That’s not what I said at all.

You have to be able to connect with people to allow them to listen to your policies.

Khan is the Mayor of the capital of this country, not the Mayor of Much Binding in the Marsh and, as such, everyone in the country is entitled to have an opinion.

Show quote history

Of course they’re entitled to have an opinion. But it’s largely irrelevant because they’re not the people voting for him.

Being personable is actually a large part of politics.

As it goes, I’m not in NYC, but I liked his policies. But to get people to listen to those policies, you must connect with them. Which Mamdani did incredibly well.

AmyDuPlantier · 05/11/2025 07:31

Aw yes this is such good news!

East coast metropolitan bubble of sanity, but a nice reminder that some people are resistant to Trump and want to give him the finger.
Saying this will ruffle feathers for many, but it's just like Londoners who have elected Sadiq Khan three times in succession while the rest of the country seem to hate him. As a Londoner, it gets my goat when people from outside London have such strong opinions on him. He's not your Mayor.

I think you will find outside the right wing froth of social media most people outside London are somewhere between who and indifferent about Khan.

Edited to spell his name right 🙄

@LeggyGiraffe Just fuck off.
