Now I know a country is not the same as a city, but my country, the Netherlands, is small and densily populated, so maybe they’re somewhat comparable?
I hear Mandami is considered from extreme-left to what he professes himself as democratic socialist, which to me would mean left-wing. I however keep pushing every US politician one or two positions to the right, but that’s just vibes. So I would like to compare his stances to at least five political parties from my country, but where do I start?
Should I post an ask Lemmy on each topic how they compare to Mandami starting with housing? Because I would imagine the stances of each party on just one topic would already make quite a long post.
I think you’re kind of comparing apples to oranges, we’re pretty fucked over here right now
I’d call him a progressive. He has socialist ideals, but he’s operating as a populist - he can’t get out there and say “we’re going to do free healthcare” because we’re not there right now
It seems to me that he’ll be as left-wing as the moment allows, but what he’s actually pushing for is pretty tame IMO
