Pretty important lesson: Being asked to care for your neighbors (and getting to build hope and power with them) is a million times more energizing than being told that you are weak and feeble and need to be protected by a strongman.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

The cool thing about a leftist getting close to winning an election is that you finally get to hear from people like Obama and Clinton when they invariably show up to denounce them

The Democratic party is cooked. If there's ever been a time to raise a group like @workingfamilies.org to national prominence, this seems like the moment.

"Vote blue no matter who" was always "vote blue no matter what." The what is genocide. The what is autocracy. The what is Trump. That is what the Democratic Party abides and accepts. The only thing they take a stand against is Democratic voters who point this out.

This restricts history to the people they want to write it. And when you write the history, you define the future.

Political genius here allowing some of the worst ghouls in Congress like Massie and MTG to have the moral high ground on the most important issue in America if not the world right now.

sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude just voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. now he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

supporting guys like cuomo is a way for wealthy new yorkers who are actually republicans to maintain dem cred without voting against their own interests

There’s been a “fight for the soul of the Democratic Party” for my entire life. It doesn’t have a soul, it’s a political organization. I’m voting for progressive/left politics. If this is the party of Cuomo, Clinton, Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi, Warner, Slotkin, Clyburn, Buttigieg… I’m not interested.

On top of everything else, tonight lays bare the Civil War in the Dems is as big as any schism they’ve faced since the segregationists got kicked out. On one side, their entire leadership & media apparatus. On the other, 70% of their voters & everyone under the age of 50 who isn’t irredeemably evil.

the administration don’t think the budget bill or the iran bombing will be popular. they don’t really have a plan for becoming popular again. it might not be possible. this is just them doing the things they wanted to do, while they can

Just as George W. Bush guaranteed North Korea would become a nuclear state by attacking Iraq, Donald Trump has guaranteed that Iran will become a nuclear state. They have been attacked by two nuclear states, how can they not acquire one in self defense? How many other regimes will follow?

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

When you watch CNN and they talk about Iran's religious extremism and repression of women, LGBT peoples etc, just remember these criticisms are coming from the same country that just forced a braindead woman rotting in her bed to have a child because God told them to do so.
