the fate of this country is ultimately in the hands of the people, not the dems or republicans. we can bitch about who's not doing the right thing or we can do it ourselves.

arm yourself. stop waiting on someone else to fix it.

Wait why are democrats fighting him? I thought he was socialist or something

[-] [email protected] 27 points 17 hours ago

He's popular with the voters. He's going to stomp New York, and then he'll start looking at the presidency. And he might win that, too. And then they'd have to pass bills, and their donors would be mad.

They'd rather run bad candidates and lose.

He's not eligible to run for president because he was born in Uganda.

Damn, I forgot the constitution was racist

[-] [email protected] 21 points 12 hours ago

Fortunately the constitution doesn't matter anymore. Run him anyway!

Mamdani would mop the floor with Trump.

I was about to say that Trump has already been elected twice, and then I remembered that that's not going to stop him.

Democrats aren't fighting him, the DNC (Democratic National Convention) is. The party doesn't want him as their representative, because he doesn't match their values. But he represents what the Democrat constituents actually want and the DNC fears losing control over their constituents, so they want to ensure he loses the race.

The DNC and the RNC basically want the same thing, except the Democratic Party is much more subtle about it. The US doesn't actually have a left-wing party. Both our major parties are right-wing by global standards. So any truly left-wing candidates scare them, and they'll fight tooth and nail to keep them out of elections.

Even Cuomo, who was completely stomped in the primaries, is still planning to run in the election as an independent. Their hope is that his run will split the party and make Mamdani lose. If the Democratic Party can't get their man in the election, then they'll throw the race and take everyone down with them.

The old RNC. The new Republicans have taken over and actually do want all the fascist hateful stuff. The old guard courted crazies and those crazies took over.

True. The more right the DNC leans, the more extremist right the RNC leans, to differentiates themselves from Democrats.
