Zohran Mamdani’s victory over Cuomo in NYC’s mayoral primary has sparked a progressive movement demanding change in the Democratic Party. Will this seismic shift lead to more insurgent candidates challenging establishment lawmakers? The time for change is now. #ProgressiveRevolt #Mamdani
You’re acting like people ratfucking the primary is fine because the entrenched group of elites had a stranglehold on the process and were able to do it better. You’re “ends justify the means” bullshit doesn’t fly.
And Warren obviously threw in with the establishment, so why would she do a deal with Bernie?
People are bringing it up BECAUSE the establishment Dems are clearly GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. Holy shit pay attention
I am not excusing 2016…at all. But I am excusing politics because…you know, that’s politics. Do I like it? No. But it is what politics is. It’s messy, dirty. Has been forever and probably will continue to be.
And that’s Warren’s deal then. She was the main competitor on the progressive flank. If you can’t win the primary, you don’t get to go to the general. Whose fault is that? Why could Bernie not convince her to go out? Why could he not win out?
And if somehow the Democratic party says “do not vote for the winner of our primary” and throw in behind Cuomo then sure, I’ll believe you.
But until then you’re still just fantasizing about everyone being against you. Note that a lot of the people you think are so against you- you’re going to need their votes in November. So maybe don’t go all cold war over nothing.
You guys are so damn eager to find the “enemy” in the “establishment” that you can’t just be happy your guy won and work to get him elected. No instead you gotta bring up BS (like Bernie not winning 2020). Good luck. I honestly hope Zohran wins. But the funny thing is- you’re acting JUST LIKE the “establishment” dems who can’t wait to bring the pitchforks up against people that should be your allies instead of your real enemy- more conservative bullshit.
once again using the results of ratfucking to justify the ratfucking.
Also, you’re assigning shit to me I never said nor insinuated. Pointing out the very obvious public motions these elites are already taking to try to ruin the chances of an actual progressive winning, is not “looking for enemies”. They were never hiding their actions. We don’t have to go looking.
