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

    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.

      They haven’t done anything but make offhand comments. I haven’t heard anyone colluding with Cuomo. The official party chairs haven’t said anything that I know of. Once they do, hey, I’ll give you credit and say burn it down. But they haven’t…

      And I brought up 2016 because it was a ratfucking. That is in comparison to 2020 which you did bring up where it was not. Bernie lost because he couldn’t convince the majority of voters that he was the guy to win. It’s that simple.

      Now- how is this that much different than David Hogg saying “we should primary people in safe blue districts?” I mean, he very blatantly called for change and this is before primaries where he could influence it. Not unlike what Clinton and every other rich person did in the primaries.

      FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree with him. But you can’t say “they can’t say this!” when you agree with someone else doing the exact same thing.
