Progressive Politics

I really hope that's true! Given all our history I've grown to have very little faith in the electorate lol

Important to remember, too, that a lot of those polls make meaningful assumptions about who is likely to turn out, and Mamdani's strategy is pretty zeroed-in on mobilizing registered democrats who ordinarily would not be likely to vote in a primary race.

Cuomo's campaign is extremely traditional and aiming at traditionally active primary voters, so it would be extremely encouraging to see a major race be won by the radical, non-traditional candidate over the traditional establishment one. It would certainly open up the field for 2028, especially against establishment democrats who's main advantage is their safe coalition numbers.

And then did nothing about it.

"No see this corrupt cop is black, therefore he's going to be okay. Ignore that he's an state-backed abuser no matter his skin tone, as all cops are rotten to the core, he's black so he clearly know what it's like to be beaten to death for being black."

I'd say the entire color balance of the one on the right was tweaked specifically to remove the sparkle of humanity that can be seen in the one on the left.

Dems underhandedly nobbling a popular candidate in favour of some lobbyists' creature? Never heard of that, either.

Did you not read his entire post? You know, the part about MAGA billionaires funding his opponent?

I think responding to the question with "Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights" is the best way he could have phrased it. I know the preferred way for those on the left is "no state has a right to exist," but that's not a sentiment that's going to resonate with liberals, and many would see it as "scary radical wants to burn it all down."

His answer is a clever way of proposing a one-state solution without freaking people out.

Running for mayor of America's largest city as a muslim and using the word socialist, he walks a good tightrope.
