What matters is that Cuomo and all the people who endorsed him are still going to claim they're the rightful heirs to the Democratic Party, how dare young people challenge them, all of that.
The difference is they're now just unaffiliated lunatics, banging on the windows. They're not the party.

The issue is the DNC not listening to their base and hemorrhaging money to beat candidates that challenge the status quo
of seats in Congress, and state legislatures, the more we can afford to move toward all the nice things.
they have to hold their position if we don't exert enough voting power to move it.
I’m all for caucusing w/ centrists after the election! But when they force candidates that are unpopular like Cuomo, they can’t be surprised when their approval ratings tank
It's a big mistake not 2make an effort 2 identify w the middle class. It's a shared struggle.
I have a feeling the party is not going to spend as much as they would for Cuomo
Plus being outspent by Cuomo didn't hurt him.
They are not our party! Their irrelevance is so satisfying

My generation cannot rule anymore, the younger generations basically hate us.
Some days, I hate us too.
But I really hate Trump, and we need new energy
They need to step out of the way
This is just the symbolic victory people need. A blatant turn of the page, and that's just as important, if not more so.
if Mamdani has shown us anything, it was the stunning moment he asked how visiting Israel was in the interests of his constituents in NYC... tell the truth. Stand for common good. And make fucking sense.
Neolib to war criminal's defense team
I hear you…
um….
not?
Breaking my heart????
With Murdoch's propaganda outlets still active, the new guard may be as toxic as the old.
Who knew.
We can do better than capitalism.
clintons are emblematic. party heavies. they weighed in and whiffed
the press the prognosticators and the experts all need to recalibrate in light of what will happen
Bravo!
Fukc we’ve been pushing for decades for progress. They’ve fought so hard against progress and reason, now the world is burning
Embrace the obvious direction of the political consciousness
Or cling to the Titanic as it sinks
I believe The Party bosses will burn it all down before they cede even an ounce of power, but we’ll see…
of old boring 🥱 deadbeats that sound asleep who are obviously working to retirement and will not leave early.
Greedy and selfish.
Conservatives, moderates, they vote like clockwork.
Look at the voting consistency of young voters.
You can’t make change if you don’t win elections.
You can’t win elections if you don’t vote.
to power these days. In prior years people stepped away at 60 or 70 because they no longer truly understood current society.
But you’ll say it about old people.
This is why we don’t leave you shit in the wills.
Why waste the $ on people who think they’re the first and only? Ps, they’re neither.
Nope, figure it out like we all did. You’ll be fine
😁✌🏼
You tedious old fools.
You're so out of touch you don't even see the ivory tower you're complaining from.
Or they will try to found a destructive party to maintain power under the guise of being steady at the helm.
They have shown the lengths they will go to stamp out rising stars.
Fuck 'em, move on. 😎
I don't think I will be voting for another incumbent for years.
:)
AND THE $$$$ GIVEN TO CUOMO RACE WAS STUNNINGLY DISGRACEFUL
😜
Democratic Party is dead. We need new blood and courage.
Instead of, you know, fantasizing about 3rd parties or pretending to be too high-minded to be - gasp! - partisan.
There's something to be said about age and wisdom from experience, but this set of old people 1. Don't recognize they are old, apparently, and 2. Are not mentoring their replacements!
They could have influence and not have to be in charge.
Normal people do not want to run the show at 85.
I do think the party has a bigget tent than you imagine.
VOTERS who vote D do still have agency, even if *leaders* are wrong on things.
Again, if I was a one issue voter [I'm not], it would be *$Money OUT of politics/Legislate end to Citizens United*
for Every Candidate
