I am just so sick of Gilibrand. I still cannot forgive her for what she did to Al Franken. And now this?
The establishment dems are not an opposition party, their "opposition" to the right is entirely stage and theater. They don't want socialism in any capacity, they are paid by the exact same people as those who pay off the Republicans and they despise people like Mamdani and will do everything they can to sabotage anyone trying to make actual progress in politics.
We would do far better with more broad, grassroots, country-wide efforts to primary every sitting Dem senator and many in congress. In fact, that may be our only hope at this point of saving the country.
