Frankly, he may win because of them. It's like a crazy political Streisand-effect thing they are doing with him I swear to god. I wouldn't know who he is if not for how the corporatist Dems have treated him, and I suspect it helped his primary win, too.

Dems are great at self sabotage, even if they have to skip primaries to do it.

I'm not going to get excited until Mamdani wins and actually does what he promises. Speeches and vocal support aren't worth anything anymore.
Still, solid meme that makes a good point.
I don't doubt Mamdani, I doubt the NYC City Council. They're gonna be a huge roadblock.

They're fighting Trump though! I've peeked a couple of times at the Democrat subreddit and it's always "some democrat saying some MEAN one-liner towards Trump during some hearing! #resist".
50 more of those one-liners and Trump will feel soooo bad and quit being a president, which will fix literally everything (great man theory)!
Rhetoric is important though. The tools that a politician has are their rhetoric and their votes, and Republicans aren't going to give them the chance to do much with those votes.
One liners are exactly what won the government for the Republicans, that and weak-ass Democrats. I'm thrilled that Democrats seemed to have learned the value of one liners, but their rhetoric is still weak. That's the problem.

Most of the DNC don't disagree with what the tangerine mussolini is doing. They just hate that it's not them doing it.
Their problem is not what he's doing, it's how he's doing it: He's too obvious, which increases the risk of a popular ~~backslash~~ backlash against the billionaires who fund both parties.
It's style, not substance.
Democrats facing Trump: "We tried nothing and we're all out of options"
It's the party of status quo. Appeasement while they court the progressives and disallow the progressives to run for office
Now that Newsom's pushing through the redistricting vote there's a chance some actual progressives can run in the new districts. If they're brazen enough they can gain some power but only if they fight for it.
Somehow I understand their reaction... the democrates are afraid that this guy shows the worlds what powergreedy hippocrites they are and how similar they are to the republicans.
They became the very thing they swore to destroy...
Don't be shocked if he loses. I wouldn't put it past even Democrats to help the Republicans rig that election. Worse case they see he will win even with all the rigging that Trump sends ICE and bam he off to El Salvador. Democrats will quietly cheer.
I have no hope in our politicians saving us and damn sure not in voting our way out of fascism. Until we rise up collectively and realize this a class war. Us vs Billionaires nothing going change.
I do hope he wins and turns over all the dominos but on the other hand. I seen to many so called progressive like him. Who after they won they fall in line with the party.
We need more Luigis and I hope he wins and sticks to his principals. Guess we will see. But I am not getting my hopes up anymore.
Considering what happened in Buffalo with India Walton, you’re absolutely right to be concerned. For anyone who doesn’t know, Walton successfully challenged Buffalo mayor Byron Brown in the Democratic primary, but he colluded with Republicans and ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and beat her.

Vote blue no matter who!
🫏
A vast majority of Democrats support Mamdani, in legislative chambers state and federal and especially in polls. That's why Zohran Mamdani IS A DEMOCRAT.
That vast majority excludes every one in a leadership position in the party.

Vote NYC !
Notice how democrats only demand choices when the left wing candidate wins the primary but theyll demand eveyone fall behind the right wing candidate when they win. I wonder where all the vote blue no matter who people went.
I wonder where all the vote blue no matter who people went.
FWIW this shit is getting about as old as the "wondering aloud about people who thought Trump would be better for Palestine" comments.

Only one of those men is a threat to their comfort zone.
The inverse applies to Trump. He is a T-rex to his fellow Americans and allies, but a Barnie to Putin.
Is that Barney Sander?
I'd stop calling them democrats, mercenaries is much more appropriate
