Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Haha I wondered how they would try to stop Mamdani becoming mayor.
It's insane to me they would rather split the vote and put one of Trump's puppets in office rather than move their platform slightly left of center.
It makes sense when you think about how they are closer to Trump policy wise than they are to being left of center.
"But, them democrats is all libuhruls!" ~ Most of MAGA.
But, there are some MAGAs who know it's all a ruse but don't care because they want the bigots to win. So, they stoke the fire under the ignorant masses.
Modern Liberalism claims to be for individual equality but that's kind of a lie. It has the same mechanisms to distribute economic and political power than Classic Liberalism, Libertarianism or Neoliberalism. Capital rules everything.
MAGAts understand that the Democrats believe in inequality just like the fascists do, just inequality based on class instead of on identity. So for them it's perfectly logical to choose identity instead. They are not wrong about the hypocrisy of liberals, pretending to care about equality for some specific group but ignoring the inequality for all. It was fine until prosperity started to plummet.
MO of the DNC for many years now.
Not it's not. They prefer to lose with the right than win with the left.
Yes, it is insane. Why sane wash?
Sane-wash? Buddy, get offline. I've literally just explained why it isn't insane. The interests of the democratic party are better served (not perfectly) by the right when compared to the left. They can get tax cuts with the right while really only sacrificing the comfort of the underclasses or tax increases and accountability with the left. It's completely rational. It's the ruling class best serving its interests. Nothing insane about it.
And after Mamdani hired one of the DNC's consultants to ~~nerf all his policies~~ appeal to the centrists who have thus far refused to endorse him.
It's almost as though the centrist wing of the party does absolutely nothing in good faith and will do everything they can to ratfuck anyone to their left.
I'm not sure this is party desperation so much as it is Cuomo's ego. I'd call it 75% ego at least.
That'd be blaming the one bad egg, not the the institutions. Neoliberals will ally themselves with fascists to fight socialists. But I guess it's possible. Also good strategy, blame the rogue politician instead of their moral bankruptcy.
It's more party desperation and bloated ego lining up perfectly.
