What are dems saying about him?

We all know they are just the other side of the uniparty

Notice how democrats only demand choices when the left wing candidate wins the primary but theyll demand eveyone fall behind the right wing candidate when they win. I wonder where all the vote blue no matter who people went.

I wonder where all the vote blue no matter who people went.
FWIW this shit is getting about as old as the "wondering aloud about people who thought Trump would be better for Palestine" comments.

They're all still working for and with Republicans.
This is funny considering the comment right below yours

Vote blue no matter who!

🫏

more like teletubbies, instead of barnie.

I'm not going to get excited until Mamdani wins and actually does what he promises. Speeches and vocal support aren't worth anything anymore.

Still, solid meme that makes a good point.

I don't doubt Mamdani, I doubt the NYC City Council. They're gonna be a huge roadblock.
- Yes, but Mamdani has shown his willingness to fight for us. Even if he can’t pull off all his agenda, it’s still better than the alternative candidates who won’t even try.
Fair, but do show up and vote please
- I always vote, not that it matters.
You are worried about that over them cheating him over? Wtf make it make sense
I’m not going to get excited until
Our future survival as a species depends on teaching ourselves and our kids to find the reasonable line to ride between getting prematurely excited and letting our emotions getting exploited, and sinking into absolute, checked-out, fucking apathy and this is a tall order because the majority of Americans, and much of the larger developed world, fall into one of those two camps and few people in between, because measured, thoughtful responses and appropriate emotional investment and momentum is just not as easy to rally behind and make memes about.
- Nothing inspires apathy like the 40 years of Democrats doing the wrong thing and making it so food and shelter are cost-prohibitive for tens of millions.
  I'll believe Mamdani is the real deal when he shows me. It's unreasonable to expect Democrats to do the things they say they're going to do.
Good point.
- It may just be me, but Mamdani just reminds me very much of 2007-2008 Obama, who himself was massively popular and saying all the right things, and then opted to rule as a conservative and helped usher along US fascism in the end.

Frankly, he may win because of them. It's like a crazy political Streisand-effect thing they are doing with him I swear to god. I wouldn't know who he is if not for how the corporatist Dems have treated him, and I suspect it helped his primary win, too.

Dems are great at self sabotage, even if they have to skip primaries to do it.
- why do you think NYC have voted in republicans most of the time, they prefer them, because they keep the status quo,(not taxing billionaires, or affecting thier real estate properties)
- The democrats have always had primaries some people ignore the fact they happened because they didn’t like the outcome.

Somehow I understand their reaction... the democrates are afraid that this guy shows the worlds what powergreedy hippocrites they are and how similar they are to the republicans.

They became the very thing they swore to destroy...

Don't be shocked if he loses. I wouldn't put it past even Democrats to help the Republicans rig that election. Worse case they see he will win even with all the rigging that Trump sends ICE and bam he off to El Salvador. Democrats will quietly cheer.
I have no hope in our politicians saving us and damn sure not in voting our way out of fascism. Until we rise up collectively and realize this a class war. Us vs Billionaires nothing going change.
I do hope he wins and turns over all the dominos but on the other hand. I seen to many so called progressive like him. Who after they won they fall in line with the party.
We need more Luigis and I hope he wins and sticks to his principals. Guess we will see. But I am not getting my hopes up anymore.
- We need to organize and protest
  With firearms if you want to be respected
- Considering what happened in Buffalo with India Walton, you’re absolutely right to be concerned. For anyone who doesn’t know, Walton successfully challenged Buffalo mayor Byron Brown in the Democratic primary, but he colluded with Republicans and ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and beat her.
- The problem ist still the people that vote.
  In Germany our last government was a coalition of social democrates and the green party. The actual majority party is the "christian" conservatives again after the green party did a lot they had promised that was the right direction but shook the peoples minds. A lot was done with good intensions but rushing forward with blind actionism.
  Also some politicians needed some "time to acclimate" to political reallity.
  And of course our version of the MAGA jokels... instead of concentrating on the real problems... they constantly shit on peoples weight or youth.
Lmao no we're not, that's why he's on our ticket. Zohran's our guy.
- I hope so. For your sake.
hippocrites
A river horse?
- No, that’s a hippopotamus, you’re thinking of an ancient philosopher from Kos.

A vast majority of Democrats support Mamdani, in legislative chambers state and federal and especially in polls. That's why Zohran Mamdani IS A DEMOCRAT.

That vast majority excludes every one in a leadership position in the party.
- Ah yes, those people. The ones we all know. "The establishment."

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not ruling out a rat fucking yet.

They're fighting Trump though! I've peeked a couple of times at the Democrat subreddit and it's always "some democrat saying some MEAN one-liner towards Trump during some hearing! #resist".

50 more of those one-liners and Trump will feel soooo bad and quit being a president, which will fix literally everything (great man theory)!

Rhetoric is important though. The tools that a politician has are their rhetoric and their votes, and Republicans aren't going to give them the chance to do much with those votes.
One liners are exactly what won the government for the Republicans, that and weak-ass Democrats. I'm thrilled that Democrats seemed to have learned the value of one liners, but their rhetoric is still weak. That's the problem.
They sent "how dare you sir!" letters.
Ikr? They're always "slamming" him
- Blasted!

It's the party of status quo. Appeasement while they court the progressives and disallow the progressives to run for office

Now that Newsom's pushing through the redistricting vote there's a chance some actual progressives can run in the new districts. If they're brazen enough they can gain some power but only if they fight for it.

Democrats facing Trump: "We tried nothing and we're all out of options"

Vote NYC !

Most of the DNC don't disagree with what the tangerine mussolini is doing. They just hate that it's not them doing it.

Their problem is not what he's doing, it's how he's doing it: He's too obvious, which increases the risk of a popular ~~backslash~~backlash against the billionaires who fund both parties.
It's style, not substance.
what in the what?
- Wherin how?

The inverse applies to Trump. He is a T-rex to his fellow Americans and allies, but a Barnie to Putin.

Only one of those men is a threat to their comfort zone.

Is that Barney Sander?

I'd stop calling them democrats, mercenaries is much more appropriate

It would mean a win not only for his policies but also against weaponized dis/misinformation.

He aint doing shit they actually have a problem with. Or they'd do something about it.

Something like what? Use their mayority in... wait...

Yeah man. It's crazy how democrats aren't all in the streets fighting this shit en masse.

Oh, you just wanted to blame the politicians. K.

Hey, they had this one protest that one time where more than 300 people showed up!
Yeah I bet Mandan will have a ~50% voter turnout too because the only thing democrats are worse at than protesting is voting.
