Mamdani Holds Huge Lead in NYC Mayor's Race, But Top Dems Still Won't Back Him

The Democratic Party has been engaging in a long data-driven campaign to chase a group of "centrists" that a bunch of analytics told them they need to win over in order to be in power.

The problem is that the data is bullshit and the hypotheses and conclusions modelled with it are also bullshit, and it's led to where we are now - a party that defines itself entirely based on what it thinks a small group of people who are currently happy voting for fascists want, propped up by votescolds who insist that the Left owe Dems their vote no matter what their policies.

I'm every other country liberal means basically that. the USA is walking up to what liberal actually means in a party. They aren't left, they are center right, mildly different from Republicans.

The left needs to get it's shit together, stop infighting, and get organized. Now it's the time to strike. Democratic socialists seem to be your best chance right now, who the fuck cares of they aren't anarchist enough for you, rally behind them, get them in power and then work to move further left. Use what power you have, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good

This is simply what politics looks like once the electorate starts asking the politicians to put aside their mega donors and line up with the will of the people instead of the people lining up to the will of the media, tldr; the mask is off.

Complicit? They designed it.
