    The only other candidate i’ve heard about was Jose Vega, and he claims to be a LaRouschite, and I still dont know what that is.

      Oh I highly highly recommend browsing the Wikipedia article on the LaRouche movement. It’s an incredible read and several times more nonsensical than you can imagine. Part of the movement revolves around the dialectical differences between Plato and Aristotle lmao

      Oh and at this point would it surprise you if I mentioned LaRouche started his journey in political beliefs as a trot?

      Anyway, as for other candidates nothing is official yet, just internal discussions surrounding fielding a candidate. A lot hinges on how much Mamdani momentum we can carry after the upcoming mayoral election in November

      My comparison is that LaRouchites were the magacommunists of the Reagan Era. Lyndon LaRouche seems similar to Jackson Hinkle.

          I’m pretty sure that Jose Vega has also collaborated with Jackson Hinkle.

            Probably, but this isn’t about Jose Vega thankfully

      ok ya i came here to mention this dude. i really wanted some serious opposition to Ritchie Torres, but not a LaRouchie. i mean if he somehow unseats ritchie torres, then critical support…but LaRouchites out there giving commies a bad name

        To be clear, I am not talking about the LaRouchite in this post, but a different challenger
