R/conservative is really funny right now. They're clawing their own eyes out over literal NYC just because it's Daddy's favorite place
NYC hates trump, which makes it funnier
Psyched for Mamdani and NYC but it's hard to believe how many people voted for a sexual harassmer who is also openly corrupt
Is it "hard to believe" when the Americans voted twice to elect a full on rapist for President?... with the added qualifications of convicted felon, fraudster and 99.99% likely a pedophile?
I think it's time to accept Americans could not care less about sexual assault, women or kids rights.
Yes, that is a generalization with a nasty connotation but that is what Americans have shown to be

the russian mods have to reorient the sub soon enough.
It's quite fascinating that, on the one hand they think everything he tries will fail and he won't achieve any of the things he promised, and at the same time they also think his policies will destroy New York City and all the business will leave.
Republicans are scared shitless that people will get another taste of socialism like they did with the wildly popular FDR..
They can stay in the Mississippian trailer park. Leave the rest of the country alone.
I hope what we take most from this is that 2026, 2028 is NOT "too early" or "too high stakes" for an ACTUAL progressive campaign. The DNC has used that argument 3x with Trump and lost said elections twice (only winning 2020 because Trump bombed w/ Covid-19). I'm certain we'll hear it again in the next two national elections.
Having a competent populist leftist politician is not a detraction. Quite the opposite. NO to Gruesome Newsom
If AoC wins the primary I'll vote for her.
If Newsom wins the primary I'll vote for him.
I'll be donating to AoC's campaign though.

Just to be very clear, the DNC leadership is antagonistic to our (I assumed) shared goals.
The Democrats are obviously what needs to be supported in a 2 party system, so regardless of the DNC antics, the sacrifice for not choosing them will be more severe, and they know that.
I'm saying this all to say, absolutely support a progressive candidate if you can in the primaries, but when it comes election time, fall in line.
Also, there is a big problem where Mamdani is supremely clever and fast on his feet, having practiced every comeback a million times in the shower, ready to let them rip on command.
At the federal there is no one with that level of natural charisma or wit.
That's something important to point out.

No.
A candidate campaigns for MY vote.
The Democratic establishment can prove they aren't an obstacle to progress, me blindly voting for them is no longer a grace I automatically extend to a party hellbent on sabotaging progressives even if it means losing to literal fascists.
Sure, and compromise is inherent to democracy. So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don't want in the general.

Congratulations, you are why Trump was elected. It's your fucking obligation as a citizen to be informed and engaged in our process. Is the two party system bullshit? Yes. But the way it's set up if you abstain or vote third party that's effectively a vote for a republican, and you are very nearly as responsible as them. You want a more progressive dnc? Register and fucking primary incumbent establishment dems with progressives. Drag the party left or own the fucking responsibility of being a part of the problem.

This stupid shit will lose you the ability to vote, and fuck over millions of people not deserving the blunt end of said stupidity.
It's been seen time and time again that democrats losing shifts them right.
Thats what happens.
The DNC knows that all they have to do is play "At least we're not trump" and they're happy enough.
You acting like a petulant child, as if somehow you're really getting back the rich out of touch people is pants on head stupid. It's you that loses the most. Actually no, its the marginalized people who lose the most, yet you sit there, pout, and fuck yourself and your fellow country while having a childish tantrum.
The Democratic establishment can prove they aren’t an obstacle to progress
They won't, and you already know this, so you can either be mature and pragmatic by realizing this and voting as best aligns with your interests while trying to change the party over time as this is a 2 party winner takes all/first past the post style system, or you can act like a child, and self harm;throwing a tantrum whilst walking a tight rope.
me blindly voting for them is no longer a grace I automatically extend to a party hellbent on sabotaging progressives even if it means losing to literal fascists.
I refuse to believe real people and not fascists agitators can have opinions this brain dead.

My bet is they kill him. (I don’t like it I’m just saying)
And then they blame it on "left wing political violence" and then the shooter's family will be like "look at all these pictures of him wearing maga hats" and then the media will be like "but he had a high school class with someone who's cousin was bisexual so he's obviously a left wing lunatic".

"NEW YORK WILL BE DESTROYED JUST LIKE PORTLAND!!!!!!!!!!"
Logs into all the public webcams in Portland and sees that everything is fine and, oh my, what a beautiful city.
Buys a plane ticket to Portland just in case the webcams were fake news. Oh yes, oh my, what a beautiful city.

Sadly, they aren't all old. The alt-right recruitment drive that's been running for the last decade or so has borne a lot of fruit.
Yup.
Starting to think GenZ/Alpha aren't going to save us. Not the men anyway. They're buying into that dogshit hook, line, and sinker.
Millennials are the last generation to not be raised by an algorithm, and also seemingly the only generation that doesn't get more conservative as they age, so I guess it's up to us to save the planet.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
Having lived through 2008 and 'Hope and Change', I don't expect much out of Mamdani. I'd love to be wrong about that.
Here's hoping a democratic socialist turns out to be more progressive than your standard "not actually liberal" democrat.
I'm hoping a democratic socialist outperforms a corporate Democrat. He's going to face a lot of push back so it's going to be a struggle.
I think it won't be for lack of trying. He will be stymied at every turn by the city council, oligarchs, feds, etc.
I don't think he can bring hope and change, overcoming the status quo is decades of work at muitiple levels of government supported continuously by voters.
Cumo could make it worse though.

Unfortunately, it's not just old or white people. Just look at the young GOP Nazi club or all the latinos that voted for Trump
Watch the 20 v 1 where Mehdi from Zeteo takes on a bunch of MAGA folk. They’re all 20-30 years old and it’s fucking crazy how many of them are blatantly racist and/or fascist. I’ll have to come back with the video link for you guys.
Edit: here you go https://youtu.be/2S-WJN3L5eo
Jubilee - Surrounded is a completely twisted version of reality where they have been called out for deliberately finding and paying people to take the most extreme positions to represent the worst of humanity.
I'm not saying that there aren't open fascists out there, many of them are now running our country in fact, but we all HAVE to start shutting the door on this kind of pandering rage-porn that makes us all hate each other for clicks. It's making it all worse. Jubilee is not how people talk, it's not how we reach each other and make change.

Every 60 seconds in New York, a minute passes.
They all said they'd leave if he won. I'm waiting for them to do just that.
