Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They should be more worried about torches and pitchforks at this point honestly.

Essentially, the plan revolved around the hope that Mamdani’s young supporters wouldn’t come out again to support him in November, at least not to the degree they had in the Democratic primary, and that the anti-Mamdani resistance could scrounge up about half a million voters who don’t normally vote in mayoral elections to support someone else — essentially, anyone else — this fall.
The fact that conservatives, neoliberal, maga, and even trump himself want anyone besides Mamdani shows how much we need candidates like him.
But especially that they all want Cuomo, when he was playing "the resistance" to trump just a few years ago.
But they're not just scared of Mamdani, the current DNC chair is a huge fan, and wants to emulate his campaign (especially policy) for the next presidential candidate.
Mamdani winning in NY sets the stage for someone like AOC in 2028, after a progressive wave in midterms.
Don't let the oligarchs discourage you, they're scared because for the first time in decades they could conceivably lose. And they'll fight tooth and nail to not lose anything, so we might as well demand everything at once.
i did some volunteering for zohran. Most of the people I talked to were very enthusiastic about him. I'm cautiously optimistic
