      Still remember that time when a lib family member of mine sent me a link of Fareed Zakaria smugly touting Eric Adams' win over "radical idealists" as the path forward for the "left".

      Gee, I sure am feeling this win.

        Fareed is such a dumbass. He was also on John Oliver praising Modi by saying India was taking the more realistic turn away from Socialism that ruined its economy.

          If anything, India is what happens when you try to strike a “balance” between violently conflicting interest groups whilst still remaining capitalist. Nehru (who was about as left wing as the British Labour Party) implemented the License Raj which was many things, but socialist wasn’t one of them.

          Of course, when your a fash-apologizing neolib like Zakaria, does it matter?

        Fareed Zakaria

        Ivy-educated newsroom tool that labels himself a 'centrist'. Why do people take them seriously these days?
