He may become just a mayor and the entire political machine in the country is freaking out. They are all worried that his policies will make NYC a beacon on the hill for progress and they can’t have that.
They are panicking because Zohran is exactly the sort of leader everyone making less than $1m – at least anyone with any sense – has been begging for: someone ACTUALLY looking out for the best interests of the people, for the people, by the people. Not only that, but he’s a fantastic communicator and based on the character he’s displayed so far, he understands the urgency needed in this moment to show New York City and America what good, strong leadership really looks like – instead of the former reality tv show actor in the White House.
good. out with the old, in with the democrats who actually care about helping people.
after the loss in nov, the dem establishment promised they were going to win back the working class.
mamdani is what focused working class politics looks like.
The real battle is beginning. Democrats are finally getting a real voice that represents the party. Out with the olds
If Mamdani wasn’t Muslim none of these emotions would exist. Remove his religion from the equation and what you’re left with is a left leaning Democrat, which if you look around isn’t exactly a super rare thing.
And the scale of the panic is absurd. Mamdani is running for mayor. He’s not running against Trump.
And that’s the problem. “The establishment” no longer represents the party or the regular Democrat voters.
I haven’t heard any Democrat saying anything bad about Mamdani. Could it be an effort by malicious forces trying to divide Democrats? I just keep saying Dems in disarray or Dems in panic, but I see no quotes or interviews supporting it.
Does anyone have any direct quotes supporting this?
Edit:
Here’s a quote from Bernie “supporting” the Dems in disarray narrative:
“I think they have a lesson to learn, and whether or not they will, I have my doubts. If you look at the dynamics of this campaign, what you have is older folks voting for Cuomo, the billionaire class putting in millions of dollars into Cuomo, all of the old-time establishment candidates and politicians supporting Cuomo, and he lost.“
Sanders added: „So either you learn a lesson that says, hmm, the other guy, Mamdani, got young people excited. He got young men excited. He created a strong grassroots movement.“
Good, it lets us know who is for americans and whos not. They are more upset about this than actual fascism.
It’s insane that these people don’t look at Mamdani and ask “why is this resonating and who else can we find who clicks?”
Just one actual young up and coming progressive gets in, and they know their time is up. The people will see that politics doesnt need to be the shit show that it is. That you can get things done, for the betterment of everyone, and not just the rich few.
Come on, New York. They say youre the greatest city in the world. Now SHOW US!
When the machine is afraid of the people. Love to see it. People can outvote money.
God forbid a politician might actually work to make life better for his/her constituents. Yeah, we can’t have that. We’re gonna keep destroying our own country with a conman in charge.
Trump can revoke citizenship now?
All this does is does reinforce my belief that the the entire Democratic establishment needs to be replaced.
Hilarious that reasonable civilized policies have now become radical thanks to corporate power installing their attack dog politicians as gate keepers to unrestrained profit .
The Racists are in a Panic
>**Senator Bernie Sanders in part when asked if older Democrats should be worried about being primaried in a question and answer with** ***Politico Magazine*** **published Wednesday:** „I think they have a lesson to learn, and whether or not they will, I have my doubts. If you look at the dynamics of this campaign, what you have is older folks voting for Cuomo, the billionaire class putting in millions of dollars into Cuomo, all of the old-time establishment candidates and politicians supporting Cuomo, and he lost.“
The democratic establishment aka the so called ‚centralists‘ have drifted so far right they would have been Republican ten years ago. Mamdani’s win shows that democratic voters will not overlook corruption they way MAGA does. They want better leaders, no lip service for change that never happens.
I thought it was important to support the nominee?
Are they really that freaked out about one mayor? Goddamn we can’t even get one pro worker politician in a blue state without the oligarchy losing its shit.
Well as a millennial New Yorker , I’m ready to fight. Let’s do this.
The new mayor has vowed to keep drinking water clean and the air breathable: DAMN HIM! /s
[edit to add the „/s“]
Odd how fascists call conservatives „radical leftists.“
They are afraid that Republicans will use Mamdani to paint Democrats as Communists and Leftists. I don’t know if they have been paying attention, but they are going to do that anyway.
And there will be calls for recall as soon as the police budget increases. “They always lie to us”
The Republican-lite party is freaking out that an actual progressive won despite their fear mongering.
They need to hard launch a progressive party with rallies and coverage.
Vote blue, no matter who!
(Pretty sure that’s the party line!)
Good, maybe we can start fighting back!
Oh a Progressive wins and you panic but you don’t do shit about Trump? Fuck these people and their commitment to mediocrity. We need better, we deserve better, or we’ll continue to lose.
Their biggest nightmare is voters figuring out that government could actually work for them – if they just elected the right people.
The establishment is more afraid of Mamdani than a literal dictatorship.
It explains a lot how corporations are always succeeding, but it’s always just impossible to prioritize regular people.
> Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, Sanders noted the divide within the party and wrote: „Mamdani won. The establishment is in panic. Billionaires are raising money against him; Trump is ranting; Islamophobes are on the loose. They know what we know: Candidates who stand boldly with the working class can win not only in NYC, but anywhere. Let’s stand with Zohran.“
The Old Republican party is no more and the Democratic party has become irrelevant.
Moving forward we have the progressive Democratic party. Probably should be called the labor party. And we have the MAGA party.
I’m a Republican and I’m glad New York is getting change. Let’s see if it works
I wonder how long it will take Trump to start railing on his own city.
Yup. Very telling when a Democratic Senator loses their shit. Vote these fucking GOP lite fuckers out.
warns??? this sub allows the worst sources that play both sides even in their dumb headlines.
newsweek is a SHIT SOURCE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THIS SUB.
Capitalism or Socialism is not inherent to this country and not mandated in our constitution (not that the constitution matters anymore? Thanks Supreme Court…). Going to the extremes of either system has shown bad things happen. Free bus passes and some affordable grocery stores is not extreme. The people freaking out want to go to the extremes of capitalism, and that’s bad. We should be excited for this experiment in New York, we should be excited to see better balance can be found.
The Dems freak out when they’re accused of being Marxist Communist Leftists. Guess what? Regardless of who you run, they’re going to call you that anyways…
The Republican-lite strategy hasn’t been working, but they seem to have no qualms about doubling down on it.
Before all else, the establishment is rich
It’s time to stop trying to work around or work with the neoliberal centrists.
It’s time to start going *through* them.
They’ve chosen to get in the way with ten toes down.
If anything, this just confirms that we’re right.
It’s absolutely mind melting that the freakout over a mayoral candidate that ran a campaign about income inequality, making the city affordable and just all around human decency is making all these brains explode on both sides of the isle but your elected orange shitstain dismantling democracy and people’s rights and we’re hearing nary a peep from these mfkers.
You guys need a hundred candidates like Mamdani all over the country.
Frothing at the mouth because of free buses and city run groceries… jfc do i want all these idiots catapulted right into the sun
Wish the Conservative Party (Democrats) would stop punching Left so damn much. There’s a whole Fascist Party (Republicans) right there. You want to be their opposition party right? Right??
No war but class war.
