Imagine wanting to lose so badly, that you’re out there, actively sabotaging one of the most popular candidates in recent history.
They would 100% rather lose than “win” with an anticapitalist candidate. They aren’t there to win elections, they are there to gatekeep against the left.
I didn’t see any of that energy for stopping Trump from the democrats. They’d rather have fascism over free buses.
Because the fascist does not endanger their cushy seats. If Trump wins, they will win next election after people are sick of Trump.
If they let people like Mamdani replace them in their own party, they are never getting elected again.
I think I’d rather have the Republican but there’s no chance that a Democrat won’t be elected.
There are no other Democrats running. Mamdani won the primary.
Cuomo is running as an independent despite just having lost to him…badly. And the current mayor is also no longer a Democrat since he was indicted on corruption charges and the rest of the party told him he should resign. Now he’s seen as a Trump shill, since Trump got the DoJ to drop all charges against him.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. There’s no way that anyone except Mamdani will win unless something really bizarre happens. He’s not going to lose to forced-to-resign-in-disgrace Cuomo or should-have-been-forced-to-resign-in-disgrace Adams, and he’s certainly not going to lose to Silwa. People who are afraid that the Democratic establishment will succeed in sabotaging him don’t need to worry. In fact, I’m surprised that Paterson is apparently willing to embarrass himself by trying something so clearly futile.
Tell me you don’t live in NYC, without telling me you don’t live in NYC.
If you live under a rock in NYC, isolating yourself from the rest of society, not only do you NOT live in NYC, you don’t live in a normal strata of society and are so rich that you don’t live in reality at all.
Splinter clearly had a trust fund.
“As a politician elected by the people we must stop this anti-capitalist from helping the people.” And the dissonant march to oblivion continues.
So… I dont really follow city politics closely at all, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like I’ve been seeing with NYC before.
People are scared.
Democrats openly attacking Mamdani.
“Vote blue, no matter who!”
“Wait, no! Not like that!”What they actually want is to defeat the people supporting mamdani.
I hope he wins handily. Maybe at least one small part of the party could realize that the people are sick of the same old policies and even more tired of seeing the same names on the ballot. Someone would primary the governor.
If he wins and things go well in NYC, that’s probably pretty scary for them as that means a congress or presidency run in the future.
Cut his legs off now before he gets to do the later things.
As someone else pointed out, this infighting is a bad look and will likely cause more problems for the party. They could just do what is expected and support the candidate who was chosen by the people, as many voters have done in the past. He will be lucky to accomplish half of what he has laid out in 4 years. He will not be impossible to primary at that point.
It’s all so rigged. We have such little power against big money. The Dems work for the billionaires too. As soon as someone steps in who threatens the wealthy and would actually tax them, this shit happens. It was obvious with Bernie in 2016. It’s obvious now.
It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
Dems are not our friends although they are objectively better than Republicans obviously.
Arm up friends. It’s well past time to refresh the roots of the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.
So much god-damned attention on a fucking mayoral race. Sure, it’s NYC, but he’s still just the mayor. Like they could have just ignored him and sapped the energy from his win, and then primaried him when his term was up.
It’s just further evidence that the Democratic leadership is entirely inept.
Cant have an honest politician making them look bad lol
I didn’t see that one coming.
Neither did he
