Good, Democratic Leadership should be hated. 👍
Yeah pretty much
Not because he supports popular ideas?
Mamdani is winning because he has ideas, is young and people see Cuomo as the established billionaire owned attempt to keep control.
We shall see…
While that is partially true,its also his policies centrist can not comprehend people support things like free buses and higher taxes if it helps everyone.
Older moderate Dems remember when they at least thought the economy worked for them. Young Dems have come of age during the great corporate power trip enabled by Citiziens United. They have no such delusions.
Well he has good policy and he is ridiculously charismatic and folksy.
Of course we do. Our current leadership is ineffective and out of touch with the majority of the party.
Mamdani is winning because he actually has ideas that are attempting to materially make people’s lives better. Whether you agree or disagree, thats what this country lacks right now.
About a year ago, I went on a letter writing campaign to Democratic Leaders, local, state, and federal. Apart from two form letters that did not address my concerns, no one replied. I spent a lot of money on postage with over 75 letters, plus online forms, emails, and phone calls.
All I get are letters and emails begging for donations, and I get a LOT of those so clearly they know I’m here.
Mamdani is winning because Cuomo is a discredited ex Governor and Sliwa has never been relevant as a NYC politician. The last time Dems voted against their leadership because they weren’t “ideal” got us Trump 2.0. Let’s not make that mistake again.
Oh, we hate Republican leaders more. Trust me.
Oh, and oligarchs.
And Nepo baby sex pests.
The Democratic Party as we know it has failed its people. In order for it to succeed and in order for it to stop this fascist administration, it has to change and it has to do so in a very extensive way.
Yes
Mamdani knows when not to back something unpopular with voters
Got into a Facebook argument and some guy kept saying “ what about your Daddy Biden?”
Like wtf dude , you guys are the ones with the hats , signs , and T shirts .
Most under-40 Dems I talk to think our leaders should be charged and sentenced for what they’ve done. Over the last 40 years, they’ve traded away our economic and antiwar values and only thing they’ve gotten in return is Romneycare that everyone agreed needed expansion and protection otherwise it’d turn into anti-consumer corposlop while not addressing the root cause.
I’ve been in a health insurance nightmare for 2 years where they denied medical necessity for my husband, so my cancer patient nurse mom had to take out retirement money so we could afford the first payment for surgery without going homeless. We have no clue how we’ll afford the rest and could go homeless any day they decided to push the bill through–even though we’ve spent hundreds of hours on appeal calls and paperwork and our case is *still* being worked after years. The cost to get us out of hell is about 3 of the cheaper small bombs over Gaza.
So our only accomplishment is anti-consumer corposlop harm reduction that happens to enrich the health insurance companies even more. But when Netanyahu asks them to invade Iraq or murder hundreds of thousands of children, all of a sudden they get real efficient about spending taxpayer money and getting things done.
I’m knocking doors for Mamdani and a lot of people I’m meeting think like me.
lol I don’t think he’s gonna win because of protest votes. He’s gonna win because he’s a politician who has ran on fixing real problems for New Yorkers. I’m hoping he wins, not just for New York but for America.
Mamdani is winning because not only do people like his ideas, but they think he will follow through.
You’re right. It’s actually not about policies. It’s a popularity contest, and voters are petty enough to hate party leadership on a personal, not political level. Next up, president Taylor Swift. /s
People want evolution.
People want to move forward.
You can’t go backward.
Buffoon orange dictators promise of “going back” isn’t possible.
It helps that Mamdani is not a criminal and treats women with dignity. It’s a start
I also agree with the title. We’re sick of posturing about fixing a problem you’re actively a part of perpetuating.
He’s winning because democratic socialism is actually very popular.
Mamdani is winning because he campaigned on something. Democrats have become a party of centrist reaction. Never coming up with new ideas, but constantly watering down republican policies in an endless attempt at picking up the mythical moderate voter (or more accurately called a closet republican)
This is a stupid take. People like him and his ideas.
Hopefully this is a message to current Dem leaders as to how to win in the future. A big win on Tuesday needs to happen.
Mandan is winning because he wants to try things. He’s the opposite of “fight to maintain the status quo” Clinton, Schumer, and Jefrees. Other Democrats take note – the status quo “center” is was fine in the ‘80s, before the crash, the pandemic, and fascism but it seems way out of step today.
FWIW, I’m a boomer and all of my boomer friends and relatives say the same. No one was excited by Hillary, and none are thrilled with Schumer or Jefrees either. Biden came around, and Harris was game, but neither has the fire of the new generation of progressives.
He’s authentic, speaks like a real person, has ideas and a plan, and seems to actually give a shit about *all* of his would be constituents.
