The fact he believes in something shouldn’t be discounted. “As far as I can tell Dem messaging is sorry about abortion, send $15.”

No. The Democrats don’t want to modernize. They clearly want to serve out their time and depart Diane Feinstein style from their offices on Capitol Hill. They might not get this luxury tho; the Jan. 6 mob might be back with more gallows, and even Schumer’s very stern letter won’t have much effect

All to sell a program he doesn’t have the ability or power to produce but yeah.

Zohran cracked the code: running against a sex pest in a city with a disproportionately high number of white Liberal college graduates who earn over 100K! 👏

The Democrats in question, don't want to modernize, they want younger clones of themselves, to pass a baton to. They want performative cover, for continuing to be handmaidens to Billionaires.

I hope the dems go this route rather than "reaching across the aisle" trying to appease the warped sentiments of toothless klansmen and suburban Hitlerites.

They need to stop treating republican voters like misguided potential democrats and start treating them as a threat to democracy.

There are so many dems who will infantilize Trump supporters as misguided when they gleefully voted for fascism.

Meanwhile, they'll have the fucking gall to accuse Mamdani of being antisemitic because he doesn't get hard at the thought of Palestinians dying.

"Wait, so if we give people what they ask for...and make their lives better...they vote for us? I dunno, sounds risky, I don't like I."

I dunno, let me go ask the fellas at the country and this consultant who has 20 year losing streak.

Unclear how this is supposed to benefit the donor class.

We'd better learn fast, while we still have a democracy worth saving.

This is not a quote by CNN’s David Wright. In this article, he is quoting a Bernie Sanders strategist, Waleed Shahid.

And yet they continue with their moronic holding on to the corporate cash

We found someone whose authenticity resonated with the voters. He obviously believes what he says and is willing to fight for it.

So no matter what your core values are or your personality is—imitate that. Also TikTok.

Ok so how do we learn from this and empower other actual progressives to run for office?
