Zohran Mamdani's victory over Cuomo in NYC's mayoral primary has sparked a progressive movement demanding change in the Democratic Party. Will this seismic shift lead to more insurgent candidates challenging establishment lawmakers? The time for change is now. #ProgressiveRevolt #Mamdani

not bombing Palestinians isn't on the ballot

but I'm going to shame you for not voting Democrat anyway

Suck the shit out of my ass you genocide-defending hog. If genocide isn't a red line for you then your opinions are fucking worthless.

    Red line for what? For what? Do you think there is some moral superiority in pissing away your own country while watching Palestinians burn anyway?

    How fucking useless to anyone can a person be?

    Red line for what? For what?

    A red line for not supporting a pro-genocide, capitalist party.

    Do you think there is some moral superiority in pissing away your own country while watching Palestinians burn anyway?

    Do you think there is a moral superiority in voting for a party that explicitly promised to continue arming a genocidal state? Do you think shaming anyone who refuses to vote for genocide makes you the moral superior? Do you really think the Democrats would have actually done a single thing to improve people's lives, not just in Gaza but in the US, and they wouldn't continue to uphold the status quo and continue to serve their capitalist overlords?

    The Dems were never going to fix anything. They don't give a fuck about poor people.
