Only making him more popular, Zohran not bending the knee and becoming polarized against the DNC is a dream come true, literally everything we wished bernie had done since 2016
Gassing up Zohran to my liberal friends (who are into it), pointing out loudly that HIS MAIN OPPOSITION IS DEMOCRATS, NOT REPUBLICANS
Then sit back and watch the Dems do the rest of the propaganda for me as I send them the reporting on the ratfucking over the next few months. The only trick is to not spam so hard that it gets annoying.
Dems at least have the decency to be impotent and proud of it.
What are they going to do? Kiss Mamdani’s feet in hopes he will drop out? A strongly worded letter calling him a big meanie?
I still think they’ll find a way to fuck him over, and the blowback will be insane.
But yeah I don’t see him folding from what I’ve read about him
I'm just glad someone is forcing them to act instead of folding (unless he ends up folding like AOC, but we haven't gotten there yet)
There’s a couple green flags:
-
He went on the Gravel Institute to talk about housing.
-
Has explicitly said “the means of production”
I'm feeling good and hopeful, just never know what to expect when the rubber meets the road
This is a good point
Neolibs proving yet again they are just the left arm of fascism
Neolibs proving yet again they are just ~~the left arm of~~ fascism
Zohran benefits from not being associated with these ghouls.
bourgeois class solidarity is rock solid
Liberals: We must defeat conservatives at all costs!
politician that is nominally left of center is winning
Liberals: WE DON'T ENDORSE COMMIES DRAG THEM DOWN
Probably won't hear much "vote blue no matter who" this time around
Every phrase they have used to try and get normies to vote for their awful candidates need to be used against them now.
i bet the democrats have a plan in place to isolate him and cause his failure; so there's no reason to endorse him.
This is the only time they ever make a plan at all.
Yeah it was called Cuomo, look how that worked out
I wouldn't be shocked if they're going for a repeat of the same strategy they used against India Walton. It would be very funny if it fails this time.
I'm not familiar with this one, but I was reading about it just now and holy shit how did they even do that? Does write in not mean what I think it means? They actually got that many people to write someone's name down and not fill in a bubble or whatever? I always figured that shit was just about impossible to do
It helped that the former mayor gave out stamps with his name on them so people could just stamp his name on the ballot as a write-in. He also worked with a member of a far-right group, the police union, libertarians, and republican officials.
Vote blue no matter who!
Okay
N-no not like that
It's wild because this is a joke but I've literally seen this conversation on blue sky.
"Vote blue no matter who doesn't apply to him"
"Well he wasn't vote blue no matter who for Kamala so fuck him"
Impossible to satirize.
“The progressive case for Curtis Sliwa” op-ed any day now.
Sliwa is a legitimately hilarious candidate, obviously it'd rule to get a socialist but a wannabe super hero is at least funny
Not being endorsed by Dems is the best possible endorsement any candidate can have. Everyone hates them. They can't read the metaphorical room though, because the only actual rooms they're in are full of rich donors and lanyard freaks
What a totally unforeseen outcome.
What? No! This is so unexpected!
Any day now they'll say something like Mamdani Men and say all his supporters are sexist.
It looks like they’ll say they’re anti-Semitic this time
Ah, the Corbyn playbook
"Not voting for a sex pest is actually very misogynist especially since Blii Clinton endorsed him, he is married to Hillary (the most feminist woman ever) after all"
The Mamdani Mujahideen
Vote blue no matter who!
Wait wait wait, not like that!
No one (anyone fighting for the actual working class) gets by their Neo-liberal guards!
I'm not optimistic about anything, but it sure feels like the constant charges of antisemitism and "support Israel no matter what" is backfiring on the Dems. I doubt they'll change course, but it's really desperate and embarrassing and it's about to be even worse. When this one guy (supposedly on your side) can get Kristen Gillibrand to sound like Laura Loomer, I think even a lot of milquetoast Dems are going to be questioning why this is the priority issue when everything else is going to shit.
What they’re just supposed to campaign without the foreign influence of AIPAC??? What if they write articles vaguely calling them anti-semitic?? Please try to have empathy for the insider trading ghouls they’re just poor widdle babies
It's time for the libs to scratch that itch until it bleeds
die fuckers
