    I mean at this rate with about %70 of democrats saying no to Bernie's stop arm sales motions, we can already safely assume yes they are. They have only been caring about their seats for quite a while and the deals they have made to stay on those seats do not align with the aims and interests of people like Bernie and Zohran. That is why they try to stop such candidates as ferociously as Republicans.

    Spoken like a true chauvinist. The UK murdered tens of millions more in India alone under the guise of the values of enlightenment than Islam has in the past century and a half.

    Islam makes women 2nd class citizens it's a guise for enslaving a whole gender. Fuck Islam. Defending it means you don't value 50% of humans.

    Yeah you're right, unlike evangelical Christianity, which treats women as valuable and treasured members of society... Nah just kidding they are just ambulatory wombs that occasionally make noises as far as the evangelicals are concerned.

    I am disgusted by religion, all religions, but let's not blind ourselves to the reality that when religion is an excuse for shitty behaviour it's not restricted to a single religion, and its not like getting rid of the religion would remove the shitty behaviour it would just mean coming up with a new justification.

    I think the same of all religions, Islam is as bad as it gets though.

    I'm pretty sure they're with Zohran because he's literally the DNC candidate.

    Yes, of course. That must be why they tried ferociously to stop him from winning the primary with Islamophobic smears and are now freaking out that they failed, and why the corporate media (yes, even the "liberal" media) are all crashing out.

    What sort of stuff were they saying

    Here's an article from the corporate media about the DNC's response to Mamdani's victory, and Here's an article from independent leftist media about the Islamophobic attacks against him.

    I won't include an article from right-wing media, but I'm sure you can guess how they're coping with the electoral victory of a Muslim socialist immigrant born in Uganda to Indian parents (not well).

    The post we're commenting under has also included some articles.

    Ah yes, the great DNC freakout of 2025. It was legendary. Why even Bill Clinton made such vile remarks as

    Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future,

    These horrible disgusting people would stop at nothing to keep them off their ticket. Except, of course, not inviting him to run on their ticket, for some reason.

    They're all maintaining decorum (something they would die before dropping) by congratulating him on his win while denouncing his policies and stopping short of endorsing him. Ever since his victory all the "liberal" corporate media has been praising the "energy" of his campaign while criticizing his policies as dangerous and painting his pro-palestinian views as anti-semitic. Don't even try to pretend the way the DNC has been responding to this is normal. In nearly every other democratic primary the DNC have been quick to line up behind the victor.
