Despite his decisive primary victory and impressive campaign, many Democratic lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading baseless lies and smears in the process.
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.
