      yeah what’s exactly the problem with that? it’s because he’s too socialist right? Dems? is it because of the pro-social, welfare-positive policies?

      Democratic Party usually: “Vote blue no matter who.”

      Democratic Party with Mamdani: “Yabbut…” They are absolutely losing their minds over this. Refusing to endorse him and will probably try to sabotage him. Their reaction to this is exposing how truly full of shit they really are.

    Free advertising! When I see which points Fox “News” presents to make him look “evil”, it is hard to find better endorsements.

    This is the best piece of political news in 2025 so far.

    Roll with it. Hard.

    They’re too up their asses to realize that’s a tactical error on their part. Make progressives the new face of the Democratic party, and sell the shit out of progressive values, stated clearly and plainly.

    Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.

    It goes to show even Republicans don’t understand how Trump came to have so much power.

    To recap: He appeared and said things that were universally condemned since the beginning. The point of that wasn’t to win over voters, it was to increase name recognition to the point that everyone knew and was talking about Trump in national media. After that, Trump had a direct line to voters and could exploit that relationship directly without the national media.

    Right now, they are giving Mamdani national name recognition. This is fantastic. If they keep this up, he’ll have a direct line to voters just the same.

    And maybe, just maybe, once they know who he is, some sizable part of the population will actually vote for [checks notes] health care, increased pay, increased protections, taxing the rich.

    But national Republicans have already spotlighted Tuesday’s primary. “Every single Democrat now owns Mamdani’s radical socialist agenda to defund police, abolish prisons & stop ICE from deporting criminals,” the committee posted later, quoting House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries congratulating Mamdani.

    Guess I’m socialist.
