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.

    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.

    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.
