Asking people to celebrate grown ups being grown up reminds me of how the right celebrated Bill Maher for a month because Bill Maher had dinner with Trump and Trump was nice to him as if that was supposed to mean anything.
That’s a worthwhile criticism, but the media/grifter/commentator bubble isn’t making that. They’re instead inserting whichever narrative they can find that turns a civil conversation into a chess match that their preferred side has clearly won. I find that particularly bad for society, and it’s what is frustrating me.
Mamdani has to make nice with Hochul too if he is to achieve anything. He's also working on his relationship with her. He started doing this even before being elected. This is a normal thang in politics.
