Mamdani is exactly what the Democrats need to win.
The dems purpose isn’t to adapt to the needs of the electorate, their purpose is to support the status quo and israel, while enriching themselves. Winning elections is what they do in safe blue districts, disrupting leftism is what they do everywhere else.
Jeffries is exactly why the public hates establishment democrats.
Jeffries would rather help republicans do all the fascism in the world rather than endorse somebody who criticized fascists actively doing a genocide.
Blue unless their interests benefit you.
Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it’s straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he’s chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.
Vote blue no matter who went out the window real quick.
Jeffries needs to be made an electoral example of for being so out of touch with voters.
Oh no, it’s still there. It will be trotted out the next time progressives get angry at another corporate candidate.
I hope so because we absolutely cannot afford to lose any more ground to the christofascist dictatorship.
Then explain to me why the 2 other “liberal” candidates in NYC have refused to drop out and are threatening to split the democratic vote and allow a Republican to win the mayor’s office.
Idgaf what the third party candidates are doing, tbh. Same shit with the greens every election.
The two liberal candidates I am referring to are Mario Cuomo who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani and Eric Adams the current mayor who is a registered Democrat.
Oh I understand your confusion. You see, Mamdani won the DNC primary election earning the party’s spot on the ballot.
Cuomo is third party. If Adams is running he is also third party.
The ONLY democrat mayoral candidate is Mamdani.
And yet all of the major players in the democratic party refuse to endorse or acknowledge Mamdani and a few have even sided with those other candidates.
This is my point.
There’s no question that we should always vote against the most right wing candidate. No reasonable person disagrees with this.
The exceptions make the rule, always have.

Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn’t like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising…
If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.
Indeed, corporate socialism is acceptable for those asswipes.
Third way go away!
Another useless corporate dem. No surprises here, unfortunately.
he was appointed by PELOSI to be her replacement, while she takes a hands off approach.
This should explain everything.
Jeffries is a representative of Israel; not America.
As useless as Eric Adams.
The Dems really are showing their colors as the corporate-backed weasels that they are, and then wonder why their voters are sick of their shit.
Petition to remove the Zionist terrorist:
https://www.change.org/p/remove-hakeem-jeffries-from-minority-leadership
there are dozens of us.
Liberals are Zionists, and things won’t improve until the left like you realize it. Democrats are not your friends, they say what they need to get your votes, but they like Jeffries and the agree with him. Your petitions’ numbers reflect that.
Zionism transcends political platforms. It’s a whole societal problem. I also don’t think it would be too hard to find a socialist Zionist.
USSR supported the creation of Israel. And the first government of Israel was democratic socialist. The country used to be known to be quite left until about the late 1980s.
The country was founded as a colonial ethno supremacist project and its founders said their biggest allies will be the antisemites on the premise that they will rid their countries of undesirable Jews.
There was never any form of democracy in Israel, there can’t be. It’s built on the subjugation and erasure of the indigenous population which has and continues to outnumber them. Palestinians have never had equal rights, and most of us are spread across the world because we never got our right of return granted.
That’s not democracy. You’re spreading a bullshit narrative.
You can have racist democracies so long as you deny citizenship based on race. The USA has been a democratic republic since the beginning despite having restricted the vote along racial, gender, and at one point wealth.
Israel is a flawed democracy.
No one wasn’t arguing that Israel is a democracy.
I understand you have personal stake on the subject and rest assured most people support Palestine, but realise you are being extremely passionate and making straw man and saying more bollocks.
Israel was democratic socialist
No one wasn’t arguing that Israel is a democracy.
Are you sure?
The party that ruled in Israel was democratic socialist.
I don’t know what is with downvotes for stating facts. Either people don’t know what democratic socialism is, or socialists probably want to forget that bit of history that Israel used to be left and don’t want to be associated with it.
Your definition of left is off, that’s why you’re being downvoted. Israel was established on over 500 destroyed Palestinian villages and ethnic cleansing of half the population with the open intention to colonize the entire land.
Read some non colonial history books before you complain about Internet points.
It’s almostas if agreeing to peace strengthened the right.
Not sure what you mean.
The repeated sneak invasions by Arab countries, the last being the Yom Kippur War, made the left, in the eyes of voters, is insufficient in protecting Israel. It helped paved way for the Israeli right to come to power. After all, Bibi’s administration is all about occupying the frontiers “to protect” Israel; same excuse really that any settler societies have provided to commit atrocities.
The fact is that the right has gotten strongerthe more stable their relationships got with other nations which is the opposite of what you would expect.
Blasted.
Remember how primaries are the time for the left to disagree? Well, how now?
When liberals tell me, a trans person, that I need to vote for militant transphobe Gavin Newsom after he’s handed the 2028 Democratic primary victory, I’m going to tell them to shove it up their ass.
There’s no nice way to say this, so mods delete if necessary. It’s an election about numbers and progressives will now have to be recognized after the last loss and the success of Mamdani. That is some progress. But the issues of trans people will not be a deciding factor due to the ratio. I hope you get all the care and rights you deserve, but this doesn’t sway the vote against literal dictatorship.
Trans people themselves are few. People who care about trans rights are not.
Care enough to change their profile picture or care enough to do something?
You absolutely should tell those liberals off, all the way to the concentration camp.
Shove it up your ass.
Go fuck yourself, Republican shitbag.
What will the ass-shoving accomplish?
Not my problem. You advocate taking my rights away, you don’t get my vote. What kind of arrogant son-of-a-bitch would think they’re entitled the votes of those whose rights they are dismantling? The sheer hubris of that is despicable.
What do you plan to do instead?
I’m focusing my efforts on helping people in my own community, the people folks like Newsom and yourself are leaving for dead. I’m quite involved in political and activist circles. But I will be damned if I vote for someone that wants to take away my rights.
If you don’t have any red lines, you’re no different than the literal historical Nazis. They also thought they were doing what they did for the greater good. The road to Hell is paved with the lesser of two evils. You have to have some standards, some lines that cannot be crossed. Otherwise there is no end to what evil you will endorse. You’ll find yourself working as a concentration camp guard, after somehow convincing yourself you’re taking the less evil path. After all, who better to be a concentration camp guard than yourself? You’re not hateful yourself, better you than an actual militant racist, right? Why shouldn’t you work as a camp guard? It’s for the greater good.
This is your strategy? Vote for us or your life will be hell?
Vote for us, we won’t do anything for you, but surely you don’t want your life ruined otherwise, right?
Good job.
All I’m going to say is, in the general election, don’t do what many protestors of the war in Gaza did because that did become a deciding factor in giving Trump Michigan.
Anti occupation and genocide people didn’t make Harris lose , dems and Harris incompetency and the two party system made trump win
Shove it up your ass.
In fighting is why Trump won and is why the left will never accomplish anything. I hope Mamdani wins and he is the catalyst to reshaping the Democrat party so they actually will put up a real progressive like Bernie and not someone who is anti trans. However, letting the Republicans rat fuck our country another 4 years isn’t something I’m going to support in 2028.
If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are absolutley supporting rat-fucking our country for the next 4-years. Just like you have been since you were old enough to vote for Clinton.
If you were living in 1930s Germany, you would have signed up to be a member of the Nazi party. Don’t kid yourself, you personally absolutely would have done it. Maybe you wouldn’t have been one of those actually enlisting in the SS. But you absolutely would have been one of those that joined the Nazi party to keep their job. Do you have any idea how many regular Germans did that, just to keep their ordinary civilian jobs? They convinced themselves that it was for the greater good. After all, let’s say you’re a judge or college professor. If you don’t join the Nazi party, then an actual militant Nazi might get your job instead. Wouldn’t it be better to just join the Nazi party, keep your job, and just try not to do anything too evil in your role? Joining the Nazi party is the lesser of two evils!
When you have no red lines, there is no limit to how deep into Hell you will fall.
Comparing me to Nazis isn’t helping your argument nor is it a good analogy. At this point, I doubt we will even have free or fair elections again. If it comes to a Civil War 2, then I’ll lay my life on the line to protect people like you from fascism. I am not afraid to fight for a better future.
Just not at the ballot box, where it costs you nothing and is literally the least you can do.
How is Newsom transphobic? Aside from his stance on trans athletes, I’ve never really heard anything on him to suggest otherwise, quite the opposite honestly.
This isn’t about sports and it never was. Turns out when you’re willing to give in to one aspect of unscientific bigotry (the trans sports moral panic), you’ll be willing to give into others. And yes, opposing trans athletes in sports is fundamentally transphobic. Notice you never see transphobes like Newsom proposing narrowly targeted regulations that only address sports where some large and clear advantage has been proven. You never see transphobes like Newsom proposing that trans athletes in individual sports be given some handicap that would cancel out an advantage they’ve been scientifically proven to have. Instead it’s all bigoted blanket bans that are no different from bans that used to exclude black people from whites-only leagues. They never start from a position of fairness and compassion and try to intervene as little as necessary. It’s all about just keeping the filthy trannies out of polite society. These bans prohibit trans women from women’s gymnastics, for fuck’s sake. So yes, if you support blanket trans sports bans, you are a transphobic bigot. I’m sorry, but you can’t just hand waive it away with, “well aside from this example of unambiguous bigotry, I don’t see any bigotry here.” You might as well be saying, “well aside from this person being a registered member of the KKK, I don’t see any evidence that this person is racist.”

It’s unscientific that AMAB individuals are stronger than AFAB individuals?
Swing and a miss.
Not an argument
Ah yes, putting his transphobic af stance aside and going “oh yea by removing transphobia, he’s not transphobic”

Turns out “Blue” meant Israel all along.
