  • That’s not even the point of this post. Why is this even such a concern to you? You’re clearly not a New Yorker, or you’d know that solidarity fighting Trump is about the best endorsement he’s gonna get. The more Trump attacks him, the better he’ll do in the general. It’s as simple as that.

  • Endorsement from a moderate is not as important as support against Trump. We just need to know they’re in his corner for the inevitable clashes with Trump’s ICE mandates. Hochul especially.

  • You for real? They can’t do anything but debate provisions, propose amendments, inform the media, and stall. They’ve been doing all four for weeks.

  • I want more Democratic Socialism. I want more Zohran Mamdani. I want more AOC.

    Those candidates run often, but we don’t show up to the primary. If we did, they’d get more funding and support.

    Take it from a political strategist analyzing Mamdani’s campaign.

  • This is how he works. He starts with an “outlandish claim” that no one takes seriously, and then repeats it until the average citizen becomes desensitized. First it’s just “the worst of the worst” then it’s just “violent criminals” then just “criminals” then “illegals…”. Next thing you know, it’s so normalized that he’s selling merch in celebration.

    It’s important to know his pattern, especially considering he’s been talking about deporting US citizens for two months now, and the Republicans in Congress have already granted him the authority to do so.

  • How Zohran Mamdani Stunned New York and Won the Primary for Mayor

    Jump

  • I applaud his campaign and what they accomplished. Don’t expect it to change on a larger scale without our participation.

    Candidates like Zohran Mamdani run often, but they don’t have the means to reach you. Very few congressional districts can be canvassed on foot and mass transit like NYC.

    The key is for us to seek out the progressive on the primary ballot and vote. We shouldn’t be rewarding the candidates who have the financial means to find us in our living rooms. Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.

  • I apologize if my wording was not to your liking, but the result is the same. Trump is ensuring a financial pipeline to Russia that would not exist had he not taken action.

  • Republicans threaten to deport Mamdani, conduct mass roundups in response to New York mayoral primary

    Jump

  • Those candidates get fucked out of winning the primary and getting on the ticket. Zohran passed that hurdle with a grassroots campaign, meaning it’s never been about the establishment. It’s always been about us participating in the primaries. If every progressive voted in every Democratic primary, no amount of underfunding or slander would stop us. It’s just that simple.

  • While still running in the primary, the DNC is not technically supposed to provide funding directly to a candidate. That was part of the scandal with Hillary. Bernie was unable to challenge the unbalanced support because he didn’t receive any, and had no access to Hillary’s collusion with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

    The difference is Zohran has now won the primary, and is the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor. He will now be financed by the DNC. He can compare the amount that he is provided by the DNC to the very accessible public records of past Democratic mayoral candidates. Do you understand the difference now?

  • They’re both correct, depending on the context. A social democracy is a system of government. Democratic socialism is an ideology.

  • Rent-stabilized apartments already exist in NYC. They are subject to regulations, so prices can be bureaucratically frozen.

    He has proposed city-owned grocery stores, that would save money on rent and property taxes, forcing competitive pricing on groceries in NYC, and reducing the insane inflation rates we see. During the bird flu, eggs hit $13/dozen, for example.

    He’s also looking to increase the city minimum wage to $30/hr, and make the city bus free for residents.

  • Democratic establishment melts down over Mamdani's win in New York

    Jump

  • You misunderstand. I’m saying people don’t want big money candidates, right? We want new, progressive, people like us. Those candidates run often, but they don’t have the money to reach you. If we did our job of researching and voting for all of the candidates in every primary we are eligible to vote in, we wouldn’t have a government full of career incumbents.

    Mamdani had grown a network of 50k people canvassing NYC for him. That’s hardly possible in Texas districts without a big fuel budget. We need to do our job of actively looking for our representation in every primary, rather than rewarding the wealthy ones that can afford to show up in our living rooms.
