This was a simple quid pro quo for Lander stepping aside in the primary.

Mistake by NYC DSA to endorse her if they are going to withdraw it at Mamdani's behest. Makes them look weak and overrides the democratic will of the chapter. But the dominant factions in NYC DSA have made clear that they want to fully orient around Mamdani even at risk of damaging their internal democracy

Has Mamdani endorsed any DSA candidates?

Starting to think he's a plant, what exactly was he doing before the DSA? The things he's doing are not just incompatible with socialist beliefs but they're barely compatible with most socdems, at least over here in europe most of the socdems would still never do this and most of them wouldn't even call Cuba a dictatorship or any of that crap.

Like, he's just straight up being a neoliberal as far as I can tell. And doing that while people believe he's further left is going to lead people that were left leaning back into liberalism via his charisma.

Critiques of Zohran that identify him as "national socialist" are looking more convincing every time he's posted here.

Why am I starting to wish Zohran had lost

Wonder which SocDem y'all will fall for next time

the ghoulification of Zohran is done I think at this point, there needs to be something happening in NYC-DSA, a purge, either by liberals or leftists so they can separate and form their own orgs because it has been clear since Mamdani's win he's doing realpolitik and won't challenge anything
