If the democrats actually wanted to sink Zohran’s campaign, they would have Hillary Clinton come out and endorse him. Can’t think of a quicker way to kill every normal person’s engagement than by getting the Clinton Kiss of Death.
Not being endorsed by Dems is the best possible endorsement any candidate can have. Everyone hates them. They can’t read the metaphorical room though, because the only actual rooms they’re in are full of rich donors and lanyard freaks
Only making him more popular, Zohran not bending the knee and becoming polarized against the DNC is a dream come true, literally everything we wished bernie had done since 2016
Gassing up Zohran to my liberal friends (who are into it), pointing out loudly that HIS MAIN OPPOSITION IS DEMOCRATS, NOT REPUBLICANS
Then sit back and watch the Dems do the rest of the propaganda for me as I send them the reporting on the ratfucking over the next few months. The only trick is to not spam so hard that it gets annoying.
Dems at least have the decency to be impotent and proud of it.
What are they going to do? Kiss Mamdani’s feet in hopes he will drop out? A strongly worded letter calling him a big meanie?
I still think they’ll find a way to fuck him over, and the blowback will be insane.
But yeah I don’t see him folding from what I’ve read about him
I’m just glad someone is forcing them to act instead of folding (unless he ends up folding like AOC, but we haven’t gotten there yet)
There’s a couple green flags:
-
He went on the Gravel Institute to talk about housing.
-
Has explicitly said “the means of production”
I’m feeling good and hopeful, just never know what to expect when the rubber meets the road
-
This is a good point
the democratic party hates muslim men
The democrats of today became the republicans of 2004 when it comes to islamophobia and the republicans, well, they became straight up neo-nazis.
Zohran benefits from not being associated with these ghouls.
It’s time for the libs to scratch that itch until it bleeds
I’m not optimistic about anything, but it sure feels like the constant charges of antisemitism and “support Israel no matter what” is backfiring on the Dems. I doubt they’ll change course, but it’s really desperate and embarrassing and it’s about to be even worse. When this one guy (supposedly on your side) can get Kristen Gillibrand to sound like Laura Loomer, I think even a lot of milquetoast Dems are going to be questioning why this is the priority issue when everything else is going to shit.
Ironically, it gives the same idpol vibes they were trying to denounce just a few months ago.
Is Zohran good? It’s a good signal that the dems are against him but also I’ve seen him mince his words and weasel out of some questions similar to what AOC and Bernie do usually, so far it seems to me like he’ll be New York AOC.
His policy will be socdem but unlike aoc he is not a socdem, he is absolutely one of us. They will fight him far more viciously than aoc or bernie.
he is absolutely one of us
they will fight him harder then, but if he is one of us than he actually stands a chance in that fight unlike Bernie or AOC who fold immediately.I don’t think he stands a chance of achieving much at all tbh. But I will support the man tooth and nail because seeing that socialists can not work from within the system is a prerequisite to people radicalising.
Completely agree. But i think he will at least fight and be clear on who is stopping him and why, which will make for good agitprop. Unlike Bernie folding and calling Biden a “good friend”, or AOC capitulating to leadership and crying about “committee appointments”
Yes and we need that. It’s why we should support these efforts. It directly creates more of us. The bigger we make the resulting drama, the better.
Neolibs proving yet again they are just the left arm of fascism
Neolibs proving yet again they are just
the left arm offascism
bourgeois class solidarity is rock solid
Vote blue no matter who!
Wait wait wait, not like that!
Liberals: We must defeat conservatives at all costs!
politician that is nominally left of center is winning
Liberals:
WE DON’T ENDORSE COMMIES DRAG THEM DOWNProbably won’t hear much “vote blue no matter who” this time around
Every phrase they have used to try and get normies to vote for their awful candidates need to be used against them now.
“The progressive case for Curtis Sliwa” op-ed any day now.
Sliwa is a legitimately hilarious candidate, obviously it’d rule to get a socialist but a wannabe super hero is at least funny
holy shit, i think we’ve cracked the code: america loves clowns, and we need to run the clowniest, jokerliest candidates if we ever want to win electoralism
We just need to find a funny socialist…
Felons can’t vote, but they can be elected.
Any day now they’ll say something like Mamdani Men and say all his supporters are sexist.
The Mamdani Mujahideen
It looks like they’ll say they’re anti-Semitic this time
Ah, the Corbyn playbook
“Not voting for a sex pest is actually very misogynist especially since Blii Clinton endorsed him, he is married to Hillary (the most feminist woman ever) after all”
What a totally unforeseen outcome.
