Congrats New York, that’s great he won. Please don’t let him pull a Fetterman.
Not likely. Fetterman has two huge issues that pull him towards MAGA: a) tons of MAGA voters he must appease, and b) the stroke that messed up his brain.
tons of MAGA voters he must appease
Dunno what current polling is like but Fetterman did not win with any support from MAGA. the right had a meltdown after his win was announced
Between Fetterman, Gabbard and Sinema, I think the DNC is intentionally pushing candidates like them knowing they’ll eventually flip. They’re laughing all the way to the bank while we argue over how to put them back in power. They have us right where they want us. It seems like the thing they do best, even more so than losing and governing ineffectively when they win, is the bait and switch.
Hopefully this heralds the realignment of the Democrats back towards a pro-worker party. Neoliberalism has failed this country for 35 years.
Quomo is a comically bad candidate and Mamdani is a very good one so I don’t think we can expect results like this in every primary. If progressives can keep finding highly qualified people I think we have a chance.
Socialism = anything that helps anyone.
Got it.
I mean, yeah, that’s the problem that a lot of political commentary has right now, but Mamdani is explicitly a member of the DSA.
Let’s see some socialist policies then
I predict that some of his policies will blow up in his face when they don’t work and then there will be a conservative backlash against democrats in the next election. Happened in SF
