Yeah I enjoyed some of Henderson’s writing but I increasingly felt he was transforming into another conservative hack with one lens and a whole lot of blind spots. WSJ should be inviting him to the editorial board any day now.
Rob probably ignores Zohran’s conversion on “defund” because nobody believes it. Mamdani is obviously a woke true believer and thus means that regardless of what he says to placate credulous voters (do we honestly believe he thinks Israel “has a right to exist”?), he wants more crime.

Could be true, given that he's taken all the "defund" ideas and implemented all of them save for reducing the police budget. Although if you're not defunding the police, are you really "defund"-ing the police anymore?

big if true 🙏

I mean like maybe? I could see this going either way honestly—he is allies with a decent number of Jewish elected officials like Brad Lander, but maybe he just decided to make the politically expedient move and go two-state. I'm not fully sold on this, because that would probably alienate a lot of his constituency, but whatever.
Some of these bad ideas he might not be able to implement as wide as he’d want to (he can only implement his dumb rent control scheme on some apartments instead of all apartments).
And some he’ll try to hide when he’s in a forum where it would poll badly. But twitter is forever bro, we know you want to globalize the antifada.
He’s also the spoiled rich kid of two socialist professors.
"Yes, you read that right: Zohran is not increasing the number of rent-controlled apartments in NYC."
To the extent that's kind of true (as in he hasn't outright promised to do that but we all kind of know he'd like to) if im not mistaken its mostly due to state level restrictions which limit what he can do

"No matter how many pieces of literature you get sent, I'm not defunding the police."

"Defund the police" has become this zombie complaint from right wing people.
If I was a bus driver I would not want to deal with collecting fares because that is a difficult interaction for me.
If I was a passenger in a bus I would want fares to be collected because it would keep the disruptive people I don’t want to deal with off the bus.
“Foreclosure prevention and housing counselor” is uhhhh not a real job my man
Why not? It’s a useful service, no?

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
He’s got bad ideas and bad sentiments.
Some of these bad ideas he might not be able to implement as wide as he’d want to (he can only implement his dumb rent control scheme on some apartments instead of all apartments).

We can definitely speculate on intent—if I were to do so I’d probably agree with you—but my point was just that he isn’t going to.
