I loved it when Mamdani said, "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

[Sogo]

It sounded kind of NATOesque....

1. That line was in Spider-Man (2002)

2. There you have it - generation gap of media references....

5. It could be a few things.

It could be a shot at Piss’ age, older people often have poor hearing.

It could be “Listen to this crowd bro! There are more of us than there are of you.”

I’d like to think it’s the classic upside down middle finger. “Can you hear this? Should I turn the volume up?” as you turn your hand into the full bird position.

But most likely it’s him saying “Listen up!” before he goes into his immigrants part of the speech. A direct challenge to Piss’ ICE Gestapo bullshit.

7. Pretty sure it was the 2nd of your options (nt)

8. Another possibility:

Trump's rantings and attacks are becoming an electoral liability, so "Bring it on!"

9. I swear I had heard that phrase before!

[RandySF]

10. Maybe so but I'm not knocking it.

Just happens to be where I heard it.

6. And Mamdani's "any of us" includes trans people.

Refreshing to hear...and it got a huge roar of approval.

Dems gotta step up on this topic.

11. "You wanna get to him, you go through us."

“Or more accurately... we go through you!!"
