What are dems saying about him?

We all know they are just the other side of the uniparty

Notice how democrats only demand choices when the left wing candidate wins the primary but theyll demand eveyone fall behind the right wing candidate when they win. I wonder where all the vote blue no matter who people went.

FWIW this shit is getting about as old as the "wondering aloud about people who thought Trump would be better for Palestine" comments.

They're all still working for and with Republicans.

more like teletubbies, instead of barnie.

I'm not going to get excited until Mamdani wins and actually does what he promises. Speeches and vocal support aren't worth anything anymore.

Still, solid meme that makes a good point.

I don't doubt Mamdani, I doubt the NYC City Council. They're gonna be a huge roadblock.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes, but Mamdani has shown his willingness to fight for us. Even if he can’t pull off all his agenda, it’s still better than the alternative candidates who won’t even try.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Fair, but do show up and vote please

Somehow I understand their reaction... the democrates are afraid that this guy shows the worlds what powergreedy hippocrites they are and how similar they are to the republicans.

They became the very thing they swore to destroy...

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Don't be shocked if he loses. I wouldn't put it past even Democrats to help the Republicans rig that election. Worse case they see he will win even with all the rigging that Trump sends ICE and bam he off to El Salvador. Democrats will quietly cheer.

I have no hope in our politicians saving us and damn sure not in voting our way out of fascism. Until we rise up collectively and realize this a class war. Us vs Billionaires nothing going change.

I do hope he wins and turns over all the dominos but on the other hand. I seen to many so called progressive like him. Who after they won they fall in line with the party.

We need more Luigis and I hope he wins and sticks to his principals. Guess we will see. But I am not getting my hopes up anymore.

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 hours ago

We need to organize and protest

With firearms if you want to be respected

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Considering what happened in Buffalo with India Walton, you’re absolutely right to be concerned. For anyone who doesn’t know, Walton successfully challenged Buffalo mayor Byron Brown in the Democratic primary, but he colluded with Republicans and ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and beat her.

Frankly, he may win because of them. It's like a crazy political Streisand-effect thing they are doing with him I swear to god. I wouldn't know who he is if not for how the corporatist Dems have treated him, and I suspect it helped his primary win, too.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (64 children)

Dems are great at self sabotage, even if they have to skip primaries to do it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago

why do you think NYC have voted in republicans most of the time, they prefer them, because they keep the status quo,(not taxing billionaires, or affecting thier real estate properties)

A vast majority of Democrats support Mamdani, in legislative chambers state and federal and especially in polls. That's why Zohran Mamdani IS A DEMOCRAT.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That vast majority excludes every one in a leadership position in the party.

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not ruling out a rat fucking yet.

[–] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 1 day ago (4 children)

They're fighting Trump though! I've peeked a couple of times at the Democrat subreddit and it's always "some democrat saying some MEAN one-liner towards Trump during some hearing! #resist".

50 more of those one-liners and Trump will feel soooo bad and quit being a president, which will fix literally everything (great man theory)!

It's the party of status quo. Appeasement while they court the progressives and disallow the progressives to run for office
