There is a hunger for bold, transformative politics in the United States right now. Zohran Mamdani shows how the Left can run on a principled, disciplined message that speaks to voters’ lived concerns — and win.
I’m not mad or upset with you or anything I promise
O. K. That’s fair enough; “talking out of your ass” and “kiss copirate dems asses” felt more angry than anything but maybe that’s just because “ass” was being used.
I feel like the points I’ve mentioned I’ve gotten the reasoning for more from political scientists (as I don’t really care about the positions of the media or the corporate Dem.s) but it was never my intent to convince anyone of them; I was trying to explain why, if the Dem.s did back Cuomo, it wouldn’t address the reasoning of someone who believes not voting third party in a presidential election (an attempt to understand the building blocks of that person’s PoV, even if one thinks that PoV is garbage). It may just be how my brain works but understanding the mechanics of someone’s reasoning, even if one would never agree with the conclusion, I find beneficial. Potentially because it helps to break apart their argument in a way they’d understand (though, of course, it can be hard to convince some people to change their minds).
But it’s definitely not the most important thing here, in the end. The progressive (and exceedingly) better candidate won the nomination; (since I think that’s something we both agree on wanting to have happened) I’m entirely much more enthusiastic about that outcome than anything else discussed in the thread.
Yes I’m happy he won, I just hear the way they are treating him on the news and it’s a huge reminder that AIPAC is a detriment to our society, and we need to overturn citizens united very badly.
Yeah…; I absolutely get that (and share the sentiment). I don’t want to speak too quickly (though, from everything I’ve seen, his odds look good‽) but I will definitely relish their reactions when he wins. It’s about time NYC gets a decent mayor.
I can see that you’re attempting to be “neutral” but you’re using the same talking points in this thread as the corpo dems and media…

Totally, I get a little animated and excited…
