I'm afraid it's too late though.

It's possible - arguably even likely - that the Dem establishment still won't get the message and will instead continue to try to con us into supporting corrupt neolib hacks and will continue to undermine actual leftists.

In fact, I sort of half expect the New York party to abandon Mamdani and instead back a write-in campaign for Cuomo.

I wish I was kidding.

Even if they show never-before-seen integrity and determination and actualy shift back toward supporting actual leftists (or get replaced by a new generation of leaders who will), I still think it's likely going to be too late. The longer Trump and his ilk remain in office, the more likely it becomes that opposing them will just get you on the next flight to some overseas concentration camp, or dead, or both.

Ehhh zorhan primary win is more like first big hurtle. Now ZOHRAN has to deal with belligerent part of democratic party and independent runs

I’m no political scientist, but I’d think he needs to win the general before this can be said.

I wish. It's a clear message from the constituency, but no one ever blamed the DNC for listening ti their voters too much.

Fuck I hope so...

This is NOT true! The ONLY Reason he Won was because we DIDNT have Elon Musk Backing us or make our Platform CLEAR enough! Next time we'll spend BILLIONS of Dollars LETTING people know we WONT do ANYTHING to Improve Their Lives! THAT will bring them RUSHING back to Us!

-Chuck Schumer and The DNC!

Is it though? Or is it wishful thinking?

And may it pisses off the MAGA crowd like nothing else.

No. AOC was.

From your lips to the ears of Elpis.

Lets see if you get a President Mamdani in a decade or two. It would be a change for the better.

time to tell everyone NY democrats to "Vote blue no matter who"

I fervently hope so.

Every time something hopeful like this appears I start wondering if it's safe to imagine that maybe things could get better here in the US. But so far I've been disappointed over and over. Part of me wants to just skip over the "maybe something good will happen" part and get right to the "oh, well, looks like he was assassinated by a blackwater hit squad" part. Money is power. The donor class gets what they want. And I have no faith that working within the electoral system will fix that.

& boy he needs to win

I can only hope ...

Good

Yo if telling yourselves that headline is what it takes to get you dudes out there to vote for the DNC so they can get to ending Citizens United, creating fair elections maps, taxing the rich, and expanding medical coverage: power to you. Let's go!

I'm sure the problem caused by a two-party system can be fixed by adhering to a two-party system
