The chair of the DNC, who has complete and total control of the party....
Has literally been saying for 3 months now that Mamdani is the future of the party, and we need to run more campaigns like his not just the outreach, but actually and specifically running on things that will actually help.people.

If all you hear about "the Dems" comes from billionaire owned media.
You're gonna think when the party's at it's best, it's at it's worst.
The oligarchs are going to make you a useful idiot in the hopes you depress turnout enough a neoliberal wins.
Please put some more thought into politics. It's important and we can't allow both parties to throw basic logic out the window. The average American should have been able to easily see all this, but they obviously can't.
We can't afford to be ignorant right now
Not one leader of the Dems wanted to endorse Mamdani in June
Well yeah, in a few months the far left will probably turn against him like they turn against all politicians. Or he'll actually do what the far left wants and it'll be a disaster.
The far left is like asbestos, it can be useful for specific purposes but you want to avoid direct contact with it or you'll get cancer.
I think Hakeem Jeffries being a piece a shit is part of the problem where prominent democrats keep trying to punish people even an iota to the left of their donors while treating republicans like reasonable people even as the republican media is pushing people to go door to door killing democrats
Thank you for posting that. First, I think a celebratory, sharing attitude of "Look what I found" is much better for continuing engagement than using your knowledge as a cudgel to insult the less aware.
Secondly, I'm not sure how you pulled a lot of hope from this Ken fella, he spent most of the interview arguing against the interviewer and dancing around her questions. We like Zorhan because he doesn't do that, he answers questions straight on, making eye contact and smiling because he is sure of his moral high ground and amused by the gamesmanship.
Decent read
Good thing I'm not an American then. If I would be an American "I'd be a vote blue no matter who" but also make sure I vote in any primaries I'm able to so I could vote "less corruption" and "left leaning".
As a European I see politics in the US being a choice between "Classic EU Conservative party" and "Far right populism + authoritarian" but then you manage somehow to get Mamdani, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Bernice which actually look decent. I like that, Trump shit is affecting Europe and shifting the overton window left instead of right would help I think.
Yeah even after seeing how the Republicans were pulled to the far right by a dedicated minority within the party, leftists in the US just scratch their heads about how to move the Democrats to the left. I dunno complain on social media and don't vote? That's sure to make a difference!
Meanwhile the right continues to vote Republican every election and the dedicated far right votes in the primaries to control the party.
