Don't fucking compromise.

It is my sincere hope that Jeffrey Lerner and his DNC affiliates all get a swift kick in the balls after this election is over.

At least we’re starting negotiations on policy from the left instead of the center.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But we're still pre-negotiating, preparatory to rank capitulation like fucking always.

I should have known better than to believe something good could happen.

Eyes on the ball, it's the policies that matter. If we start seeing watering down of the policies, shoot away, but this on its own means little.

Can Mamdani fire the establishment goon later? If so, it could be a smart strategic move to qwell the DNC and win his general election.

Aaaand...the inevitable pivot to the center, commences.

No, please don’t be a disappointment.

Feeling like that Star wars "you were the chosen one!!" meme

I wonder how hard to the right he’s going to tack to get the DNC to not be like “oooh, brown man scary! 👻“

Big fan of Kshama. I however don't know if this is Mamdani switching sides or Jeffrey Lerner. The DNC isn't both a supremely powerful corrupting influence and an incompetent pile of business yes men who lost to trump twice and are glorifying republicans as republican media are whipping up their audience to assassinate them in their homes.

Pick one, but only one of those descriptions aligns with reality. At this point if he is abandoning the public he's doing so at a time where its unlikely he'll live long enough to profit from it. I still think the better media narrative is "is the DNC caving to anti Israel sentiment?"

Goddammit can't we have a true progressive for once in a position of real power. Why the fuck is he doing this? See this what happens when we feel hope.
