The headline treats him like the Emporer of Black People, which is a framing media loves to apply to various prominent Black figures from time to time whenever they need to manufacture some consent
Every 2-4 years Clyburn is appointed by establishment Dems to tell Black people who to vote for and I've always found that weird, but it's bizarre to see it happening in the NYC mayoral race.
Wanna know why Clyburn didn't endorse the DSA "Democrat" of convenience?
It's because Democratic base voters prefer Democratic candidates who a) are actual Democrats, and b) didn't poormouth a sitting Democratic president or his VP and help Trump win out of spite:
Can you define “actual Democrat” for me? Does it require someone to actively court a Republican/Democrat coalition specifically to keep Republicans in control of a state senate, or did Cuomo just do that for the love of the game?
Why is disgraced former governor Cuomo an "actual democrat" but Zohran is not? The Democratic party needs to have a big reckoning about what exactly its values are.
Oh no Democratic Party members using Democratic Party mechanisms to try to influence the Democratic Party, even a serial sexual harassser would be preferable to people trying to shape the party from the ground up rather than meekly accepting what they're handed from the top down
