This should explain everything.
Jeffries is a representative of Israel; not America.
As useless as Eric Adams.
-
The Dems really are showing their colors as the corporate-backed weasels that they are, and then wonder why their voters are sick of their shit.
-
Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn't like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising......
If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.
-
Third way go away!
-
Indeed, corporate socialism is acceptable for those asswipes.

Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it's straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he's chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.

Petition to remove the Zionist terrorist:

there are dozens of us.

Liberals are Zionists, and things won't improve until the left like you realize it. Democrats are not your friends, they say what they need to get your votes, but they like Jeffries and the agree with him. Your petitions' numbers reflect that.
-
Zionism transcends political platforms. It's a whole societal problem. I also don't think it would be too hard to find a socialist Zionist.
-
USSR supported the creation of Israel. And the first government of Israel was democratic socialist. The country used to be known to be quite left until about the late 1980s.

Jeffries needs to be made an electoral example of for being so out of touch with voters.
-
The exceptions make the rule, always have.

Blasted.
Remember how primaries are the time for the left to disagree? Well, how now?
-
When liberals tell me, a trans person, that I need to vote for militant transphobe Gavin Newsom after he's handed the 2028 Democratic primary victory, I'm going to tell them to shove it up their ass.
-
There's no nice way to say this, so mods delete if necessary. It's an election about numbers and progressives will now have to be recognized after the last loss and the success of Mamdani. That is some progress. But the issues of trans people will not be a deciding factor due to the ratio. I hope you get all the care and rights you deserve, but this doesn't sway the vote against literal dictatorship.
-
How is Newsom transphobic? Aside from his stance on trans athletes, I've never really heard anything on him to suggest otherwise, quite the opposite honestly.
-
This isn't about sports and it never was. Turns out when you're willing to give in to one aspect of unscientific bigotry (the trans sports moral panic), you'll be willing to give into others. And yes, opposing trans athletes in sports is fundamentally transphobic. Notice you never see transphobes like Newsom proposing narrowly targeted regulations that only address sports where some large and clear advantage has been proven. You never see transphobes like Newsom proposing that trans athletes in individual sports be given some handicap that would cancel out an advantage they've been scientifically proven to have. Instead it's all bigoted blanket bans that are no different from bans that used to exclude black people from whites-only leagues. They never start from a position of fairness and compassion and try to intervene as little as necessary. It's all about just keeping the filthy trannies out of polite society. These bans prohibit trans women from women's gymnastics, for fuck's sake. So yes, if you support blanket trans sports bans, you are a transphobic bigot. I'm sorry, but you can't just hand waive it away with, "well aside from this example of unambiguous bigotry, I don't see any bigotry here." You might as well be saying, "well aside from this person being a registered member of the KKK, I don't see any evidence that this person is racist."

Ah yes, putting his transphobic af stance aside and going "oh yea by removing transphobia, he's not transphobic"

You absolutely should tell those liberals off, all the way to the concentration camp.
-
All I’m going to say is, in the general election, don’t do what many protestors of the war in Gaza did because that did become a deciding factor in giving Trump Michigan.
-
Shove it up your ass.
-
Anti occupation and genocide people didn't make Harris lose , dems and Harris incompetency and the two party system made trump win
-
This is a flawed understanding. Many of the Arab voters in Michigan were not solid Democrats to begin with. Unlike the racist notion that brown skin means Democratic votes, the people inside that skin have a range of views, just like any human. Just pointing at the other side and saying it's worse fails when voters didn't think the other side is worse. The party has to win their votes, and aiding the war machine massacring their relatives is for some reason a poor way to do that.

Jeffries is exactly why the public hates establishment democrats.
Jeffries would rather help republicans do all the fascism in the world rather than endorse somebody who criticized fascists actively doing a genocide.
-
Turns out "Blue" meant Israel all along.
-
"And break our losing streak?!"
- The Democrats (probably)

I hate when they dont tell us what kind of slam was used. Chokeslam, bodyslam, alabama slam?

Establishment Dems simply want to co-parent America with reactionaries. There is no vision, only donors. When MAGA is over, going back to this is not going to be acceptable.
-
Mamdani is exactly what the Democrats need to win.
-
The dems purpose isn't to adapt to the needs of the electorate, their purpose is to support the status quo and israel, while enriching themselves. Winning elections is what they do in safe blue districts, disrupting leftism is what they do everywhere else.

-
He's better than a republican, and he better be getting primaried.
-
Blue unless their interests benefit you.

Mamdani is a populist and is basically a left wing Trump.
People are unhappy and easily manipulated into supporting someone that just says the popular internet things. There's also the assumption that he hates the same ethnic group that's it's popular for his base to hate. See the other comments in this thread saying Hakeem Jeffries not endorsing Mamdani is probably something to do with the Jews.
There were many Republicans that were "never Trumpers" and refused to endorse him. A few even stuck with it. We know what can happen when someone's support is based around policies based on internet memes mixed with racist conspiracy theories.
The question is whether Mamdani is a true believer or just saying the things he does to get elected. If he's a true believer and actually implements the half baked internet meme based policies, it will be a disaster. Much like how Trump's dumbass policies are a disaster.
Wouldn't be a good political move to endorse a politician that winds up creating a mess of things.
-
Yeah, I guess we should just keep electing the same corrupt losers who promise nothing, and do less.
Zohran is offering real changes, when everybody else seems to be perfectly comfortable with business as usual in MAGA Nazi America. Maybe they'll work, maybe they won't, and more likely it will be a mix of the two, but at least he wants to try something different than the usual losing strategies.
-
You’re right. They’re both the same so I will protest by not voting. That will show them I mean business…wait I’ve heard this before.
-
Didn't say that
-
-
You've gone out of your fucking mind to compare Mamdani to Trump. Lots of people are convinced Trump is the literal antichrist, for good reason. Trump is a murdering psycopath who increases taxes on the poor and decreases them for the rich. Trump is waging a war on minorities to provide labor to the prison industry. Trump is offering USA resources to Russia in exchange for taking slightly less of Ukraine, which the Ukrainians have not and will not agree with.

Change is not always good. Young people think change for the sake of change is good

Mamdani is not Trump by any standard. Mamdani seems to actually understand how to govern.
His stupidest policies will not be taken up by the city council eg no one is getting$30/hr for minimum wage because most could not afford to pay that
-
At current NYC prices, businesses could afford to pay decent wages to their employees, except every business is hamstring by ridiculous commercial rent.
Almost every block used to have its own pizza joint, bakery, and deli. Then rent went up, and they all combined into one. Then rent went higher, and they finally all went out of business.
The primary problem with the NYC economy is rent. If rent could be regulated properly, and greedy landlords could be corralled, living and working, and especially operating a business in NYC, would increase spectacularly.

Ahh yes, free bus fair is as insane as checks notes vibe based tariffs.
It's telling you can't attack him on any individual policy but have to paint his platform with the broadest brush available.
Let me ask you, is there any evidence we could show that would convince you his policies would not be a disaster?
Another useless corporate dem. No surprises here, unfortunately.
he was appointed by PELOSI to be her replacement, while she takes a hands off approach.
