this reads like someone who is more mad at Democrats than they are at Republicans, and also didn’t vote last year
Yes. A lost of people didn’t vote in the US elections last year. The ones who don’t live there make up the largest contingent. They’re unlikely to blame themselves.
Uh, what stops have they pulled out to fight Mamdani?
The democrats have been like this since at least Clinton.
Only one is an actual threat to how the Democrats do things.
What exactly do you think the DNC is doing to fight
*checks notes
A candidate for the generals put forth by the DNC?
Don’t forget Bernie.
DNC had the same exact response. With the same exact Trump.
Took the DNC ten fucking years to pull their head out of their ass long enough to complain about young men populism being the key to victory, despite literally pissing away all the young men populism voters they had with Bernie Sanders.
Thank fuck it’s now blatantly obvious with Zohran.
So funny to see in real time the difference between their phony outrage over Trump’s arguably monstrous policies, VS their genuine fear over a socialist winning a mayoral race.
This is why everyone who claims the way to fix Dems is via primaries is wrong. Dems will lie, cheat, or simply not hold primaries altogether, rather than risk an actual leftist winning the nomination.
Theres like 2 people in the DNC who have voiced dislike of Zohran, and they’re getting fucking roasted on social media for it.
Zohran Mamdani is a Democrat. He is the DNC candidate. Vote for the DNC, vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Now watch as Dems throw their support behind the independent in order to undermine Zohran.
Andrew Cuomo running as an independent, and he was endorsed by many dem leaders already
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cuomo-stay-new-york-city-mayoral-ballot-november/story?id=123258468
I was curious when I heard he’d passed the deadline to remove his name from the ballot for the general (whether he runs or not), and it seems the Republicans are pissed he didn’t because he’s likely going to take their votes away from Adams. Probably a good thing for Mamdani.
Nice to see ranked choice voting working.
Not that it doesn’t work, but just nice New York can actually fight over more valid candidates without spoiling the election (not that I care for Adam’s or Coumo either).
Your source indicates he is still running, but unless I’m missing something makes no mention of endorsements. Do you have a source for that?
The endorsements were from before he was running during the primary.
I was being slightly fecesious
That’s not how you spell that.
We do a little lying
It’s funny how hot Gillibrand got over Zohran, but hasn’t really said a peep in the last 5ish months of all… this.
It’s certainly curious.
I like how she just invented her own hysterical interpretation of the interview where zohran wouldn’t condemn people for saying globalize the intifada, and then when confronted with the actual quote from zohran, including the “I won’t become mayor to be the word police,” and she takes that and says “actually, you DO have to be word police, you have to tell people its unacceptable to say things that other people may interpret as calling for the slaughter of millions of jews, even if you know those phrases mean something completely different from how jews feel about it”
The interviewer at that point is like well he didn’t say that and what he said doesn’t imply the killing of jews but okay youre clearly just a violently racist woman so lets take a question from a caller and end the interview
I hope she resigns if he wins, if not then her next election should be her last. Disgusting, hateful, disqualifying behavior from this woman in that interview.
They are trying to act Trumpian without acting too Trumpian.
But Republicans and Democrats are completely different parties.
/s
They are, one is shit, the other is absolute shit.
I can assure you that the Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani is going to be infinitely better than the Republican Sliwa.
Don’t worry, I’m sure that if moderate Democrats succeed in their rabid crusade against Zohran and he gets defeated then they’ll turn around and say it was because we didn’t back Cuomo 1000% and without criticism, going back through your comment history and quoting this comment back to you every time you share any political opinion whatsoever.
But they’re super serious about opposing Trump, pinky promise.
Um, “fighting” Donald Trump.
It wasn’t blue on blue. It was vested interests Vs a genuine candidate. The state of NY voted trump in, not because they like him, because they didn’t want the democrat party. This party as a tool of the corporations is finished. You’re watching it’s death throes.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/new-york-president-results
NY State voted for Kamala.
NY voted for Kamala?
If they’re not with Zohran, they’re against Democracy.
I mean this is kind of obvious at this point that the democrats and the republicans are both anti-democracy, just one covertly and the other overtly. But still. I want more people getting loud and angry at anti-democracy democrats.
Islam is a cancer
Spoken like a true chauvinist. The UK murdered tens of millions more in India alone under the guise of the values of enlightenment than Islam has in the past century and a half.
I’m pretty sure they’re with Zohran because he’s literally the DNC candidate.
Yes, of course. That must be why they tried ferociously to stop him from winning the primary with Islamophobic smears and are now freaking out that they failed, and why the corporate media (yes, even the “liberal” media) are all crashing out.
I’m wondering who the fuck keeps reelecting these establishment weirdos every election cycle who’ve been in office 30+ years? Are they in a nursing home drooling all over themselves? Ten years ago people were saying the pendulum would finally swing left when the boomers died off. Then COVID happened and a lot of them did. Then in 2024 Trump won the popular vote unlike in 2016. At this rate I’ll die of old age and the boomers will still be kicking at 125 years old, voting ®etard or dem establishment (D)ickhead while their backyard is catching on fire due to climate change and they’ll just blame it on chemtrails or something. It’s like these fat entitled fucks are immortal.
I mean at this rate with about %70 of democrats saying no to Bernie’s stop arm sales motions, we can already safely assume yes they are. They have only been caring about their seats for quite a while and the deals they have made to stay on those seats do not align with the aims and interests of people like Bernie and Zohran. That is why they try to stop such candidates as ferociously as Republicans.
We’ve had less of the mocking “bOth SIdeS aRE thE SamE!” recently. I think more people are starting to see what we meant.
Nah, those idiots who argue for the lesser evil in a bid to push the troubles to a point they arent affected by them while millions suffer are still out in force.
Better than those idiots that thought voting for Trump, voting 3rd party, or not voting at all was somehow the better option and that less people would suffer than under Harris, or the lesser evil.
At least those who voted 3rd party or didn’t vote at all due to shitty candidates recognize there’s a problem and that it needs taken care of before it’s too late.
Y’all would have us march along with “the lesser evil” to the point of no return.
Voting third party in the general election is nothing more than a performative action that directly benefits the worst candidate. Those of us that held our noses and voted for Kamala did so with the recognition that there is a problem, but we were also smart enough to know that the general is not where major changes happen.
I’d have everyone vote for their ideal candidate in the primaries, and then vote for the best viable candidate I’m the general.
Acting like you did something good by voting third party is akin to puffing up your chest and acting like tough shit, when all your doing is standing funny and looking like an idiot with a big chest.
lol
You think things would be exactly the same if Harris were president? That is a special kind of delusion you’ve built for yourself.
The point is…both sides are right wing, not to the same extent, but you’re arguing about shit versus shit like there’s some huge difference. It’s pathetic.
Because there is. Harris wouldn’t be illegally deporting people with secret police to death camps, openly accepting bribes like a 747 from Qatar, trying to make the Ukraine surrender, shitting all over the epa, giving the reigns to Musk to gut the government, creating a meme coin and phone company to really show how little they respect the emoluments clause there are countless examples of “huge differences” that wouldn’t fly under Democrats. Democrats suck, are extremely problematic, and need major reform/replacement but pretending they’re as bad as Republicans is so wildly disingenuous I can’t take people that say that shit seriously
Harris wouldn’t do these things, but she would set the stage for fascists to do these things and more in 2029. Kicking the can down the road simply empowers fascists such that when (not if) they come to power they do more damage than if the bandaid had been ripped off in the first place. I mean, Biden won in 2020 and all America got was better-prepared fascists with a blueprint for how they’ll take over the United States, and as halfhearted as his attempts were at least Biden tried; Harris was only shaping up to be worse. If the only thing y’all can do is kick the can down the road, you might as well rip off the bandaid.
Both sides are still not the same, IMO.
Dems suck, but not remotely to the same depth as Republicans.
I’d hold my nose and vote for Harris again if the election were tomorrow, and for the same reason as last time. (Gestures around)
Dems run the spectrum from conservative through milquetoast to leftist. The milquetoasts seem to win most of the time.
R is 100% bigot fascist authoritarians or people for whom those things are not a dealbreaker.
Yeah absolutely, I think it’s also important to remember dems aren’t a monolith and many have their own takes and opinions despite often being influenced by the same harmful forces.
For example, Jerry Nadler had a pretty strong endorsement of Mamdani despite being what I would perceive as a pretty standard democrat. I am hopeful that more democrats can be forced to support him and we can avoid this dem civil war narrative but we’ll have to see.
They keep us arguing over ¾ of shit that happens so that they can get the ¼ through they really car about 100% of the time.
