The video went out on Thursday afternoon, timed almost to the minute of Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s speech at the United Nations, and ended with the words &#8220;an olive tree grows in Gracie.&#8221; His supporters called it classy. By then the Strategic Response Group; the unit he pledged to disband &#8212; had already been arresting people on First Avenue for over an hour.</p><p>I want to be clear about my own position before I say anything else. I promoted Zohran Mamdani. I promoted him during the recent theater. I am not writing this from a position of having warned you, and I&#8217;m not interested in the version of this argument that gets to be smug about it.</p><p>I&#8217;m coming out with this because holding Zohran to a lower standard than we would hold any other head of state is American privilege, plainly. Our comrades in Gaza do not get to be graded on a curve. And because the accountability our movement refuses to apply to the people we elect is precisely the accountability that gets traded away the moment they have something to lose.</p><p>The argument of this piece is not that Mamdani is uniquely bad. It&#8217;s that the specific case against him; a campaign promise abandoned, a police commissioner kept on for the first time in seventy years, a Zionist governor endorsed, a Speaker endorsed one day after his Kushner meeting broke, a protest unit he swore to dissolve making the arrests; is the clearest test case we have for whether electing our own inside the Democratic Party produces anything other than better press.<br><br>Please subscribe, this one took a lot of work.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.yourfavoriteguy.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

We are forgetting not only what Harris is doing now, refusing to call it a genocide, but did then as well! We forget how she used Palestinian bodies as pawns, sent Bill Clinton to Dearborn to lecture Arabs on how their families&#8217; deaths shouldn&#8217;t &#8220;count&#8221;, and rigged a bait and switch for a ceasefire over the 2024 election.</span><br><br><span>Every Democrat who tries to act like they represent the people fall into the same nasty contradictions.
