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.
I bet this guy will be known to history as the founder of the new left political party
Dems are great at self sabotage, even if they have to skip primaries to do it.
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.
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.
Most of the DNC don't disagree with what the tangerine mussolini is doing. They just hate that it's not them doing it.
Their problem is not what he's doing, it's how he's doing it: He's too obvious, which increases the risk of a popular ~~backslash~~ backlash against the billionaires who fund both parties.
It's style, not substance.
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)!
Rhetoric is important though. The tools that a politician has are their rhetoric and their votes, and Republicans aren't going to give them the chance to do much with those votes.
One liners are exactly what won the government for the Republicans, that and weak-ass Democrats. I'm thrilled that Democrats seemed to have learned the value of one liners, but their rhetoric is still weak. That's the problem.
Vote blue no matter who!
Democrats facing Trump: "We tried nothing and we're all out of options"
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...
It's the party of status quo. Appeasement while they court the progressives and disallow the progressives to run for office
Now that Newsom's pushing through the redistricting vote there's a chance some actual progressives can run in the new districts. If they're brazen enough they can gain some power but only if they fight for it.
Only one of those men is a threat to their comfort zone.
The inverse applies to Trump. He is a T-rex to his fellow Americans and allies, but a Barnie to Putin.
Is that Barney Sander?
