    Yeah, that may not work out the way they want it too. Attitudes are changing for a lot of people thanks to Trump’s rampage. Hopefully, enough people will wake up and realize that the Democratic Socialists are probably the change they’ve been looking for.

      It’s crazy how big the political divide has gotten that I wish Democrats were as “bad” as Republican fear mongering portrays them.

      Democratic Party usually: “Vote blue no matter who.”

      Democratic Party with Mamdani: “Yabbut…” They are absolutely losing their minds over this. Refusing to endorse him and will probably try to sabotage him. Their reaction to this is exposing how truly full of shit they really are.

    It goes to show even Republicans don’t understand how Trump came to have so much power.

    To recap: He appeared and said things that were universally condemned since the beginning. The point of that wasn’t to win over voters, it was to increase name recognition to the point that everyone knew and was talking about Trump in national media. After that, Trump had a direct line to voters and could exploit that relationship directly without the national media.

    Right now, they are giving Mamdani national name recognition. This is fantastic. If they keep this up, he’ll have a direct line to voters just the same.

    And maybe, just maybe, once they know who he is, some sizable part of the population will actually vote for [checks notes] health care, increased pay, increased protections, taxing the rich.

    Free advertising! When I see which points Fox “News” presents to make him look “evil”, it is hard to find better endorsements.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
